White Crow

What can I say about this book; that’s my problem I can't find the words to describe the book in its glory. To me glory is too small a word to describe this book, and I am not saying the book was the best one I have read, what I am saying is it is the weirdest one I have read.
The characters Ferelith, Rebecca and the priest (again I think he is a priest, I just don’t know) all contribute something to the book, it is written from their views.
The first character I will try and talk about is dear Ferelith. Ferelith terrified me. She is so weird. She is the only character in a book that isn’t the bad person that does that. It’s the way she thinks and acts towards Rebecca. She is the one character in the book I would not have wanted to talk to in real life.
The next character is Rebecca; she is the girl who has been dumped in Winterfold with her father. Through out the book you get the feeling perhaps Rebecca should not have come to Winterfold and should not have struck up a friendship of sorts with Ferelith.
The next character is the priest. Now this character I quite liked. His morbid diary entries made me smile; he was a welcome relief from the evil that was Ferelith. But it annoyed me that I did not know his name.
The plot, I think I lost the plot while reading this book. I can not recall the plot, I believe it had something to do with uncovering a dark secret hidden within the history of the small village, other than that I have no clue what was going on in that book.
The way it was written was brilliant, I loved it. The way it swapped between the three characters was easy to see and read. I can’t really say more than that.
In conclusion I have a love hate relationship with this book. I love the Priest and Rebecca but I hate Ferelith.
