[review from 2012]

I read the book Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson in the car on a trip. Like all her books, for me they were rather quick reads. I’m not sure why. I liked her previous books much better, but that’s probably because the problems are more serious. The problem in this one is kind of skimmed over.

Saw the "twist" coming a mile away but still really enjoyed this book. Anderson's prose is really engaging and moving.
