Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Paivi
Anderson is a high school student who has a special ability. She has visions of future events. She even knew her best friend’s mother would
die in a car accident but could do nothing to stop it. She carries the guilt and keeps her abilities
a secret.
The author
bounces back and forth between Paivi and the newly elected president. A list of those with special abilities was
compiled and under the president’s order declared enemies of the state.
The author
creates the air of hatred that is perpetuated by the government. Paivi’s family is caught in the middle. It has a Nazi feel as the parents are
physically removed from the house by gun point.
It is almost sickening to read as I could recognize the parallels. The
people live in fear and those not arrested are trying to flee.
The more I
read the angrier I became of the injustice and rights violations. The author did a fabulous job creating the
situation that really questions the possibilities. Terrorist groups were at the center of the controversy. Even though the people targeted had
paranormal abilities, the possibility is always there.
I felt sorry
for Paivi. She was placed in a difficult
place. Her parents believed since they
were innocent things would be fine.
Unfortunately, it didn’t matter.
The ending was heart wrenching and I really want to see where the author
takes things. I give it a 4 out of 5.
