The Dust of 100 Dogs

One of the best YA books I've ever read. Unlike Book Theif, this is not one of my all time favorite books, but it is definitely one of the best young adult novels to hit shelves in ages. in accomplishes this in a couple of specific ways. 1. it is not a series. what an fabulous idea! 2. there is a lot of story and not much fluff. there is more story in king's 360 pages than stephanie meyer could put together in 2000 pages worth of the twilight saga. and better yet, it is good story. with compelling characters and witty writing.

i like it. it's making me seriously reconsider my “ninja vs. pirate” ninja allegiance.
