This
book is about a sixteen year-old girl named Cinder. Cinder has a stepmother and
two stepsisters, one of which is her best friend. Cinder is not a normal
teenage girl, she is a cyborg. If that didn't already make her unwanted and an
outcast, Cinder discovers something else that makes her more of an outcast than
she already is, and puts her life at risk. In this book Cinder experiences many
challenges and difficulties such as her stepsister contracting the deadly
plague that is destroying Earth, trying not to reveal she is a cyborg to Prince
Kai, and dealing with a huge secret that turns her whole life upside down.
Cinder is a futuristic version of the story of Cinderella. I did not get a
strong Cinderella feeling but I did see some charcteristics in this book that
followed the original story. I really enjoyed Cinder's character. I felt she
was a strong female character. I loved the plot of this book, the characters,
and how the s tory developed. I highly recommend this book and cannot wait till
the second book in the series is released. Rating: Awesome - Alainna, Terryberry
