The Review of GRIT I Promised Y'all

GRIT is a novel that a good friend of mine, Samantha Nyx of

I fucking hate that thing, you know. Damn link thing never works.

But whatever.

GRIT the the intense story of a girl who has been physically and mentally tortured for years by the American government for the murder of her brother. Which she committed using only the power of her own mind. Now, six years later, Sarah McClair has been in the custody of two people forbidden to even use her name. In a new school where she sticks out, she manages to get an equally intelligent girl, Lacey, with the street-smarts she never got the chance to develop. With the hacker-help of Lacey's brother Reese, Sarah sets out to free herself from the government's control over her.

Yes, this is a story my friend wrote, but I'm not just saying I loved it because of that. Intense escape thrillers that warp the government are rarely my thing. Only in the movie PUSH, and The Hunger Games. Oh, who am I kidding? When it's well-done, escapes are pitfalls for page-turning anxiety that I can't rip myself from. Even if it's 1 AM and I have to wake up in four hours for school and I'm already sleep-deprived.

Yeah, Sam is that fucking good. She is the epitome of amazing-ass writers with sick nasty Doc Martens that I really, really, love.

Now, I have a lot more personal insight into this book than some other reader, so I can tell you that this was a NaNoWriMo book, meaning, to the less knowlegable of the Twitter/writer world, that you write a 50,000 word novel in only the 30 days of November. It's a feat that I cannot do. And I can also recognize little things, like references to Emile Autumn (her Goddess!) that she might even be aware of. And I know they're there, and it's nice to see stuff like that.

Now, I can't exactly say to go out and buy this book and read it, and things like that because it is currently not available for purchase. I just figured I would make you jealous. Hopefully Sam will make this available for purchase on the Internet after she does another round of editing. If anything happens I'll be sure to update all four of you later on, okay?!

'Iight. Peace out, girl scouts.
