Princes.

Princes Tyler Salathe

Right off the bat at the beginning of the book __Princes__ I got pulled in by the gruesome yet fascinating stories the twins Indigo, and Ravel tell each other to pass the time. Indigo and Ravel are both in their mid-twenties with parents who had gone on a much needed vacation and never returned. One of the main events which could have provoked this “vacation” is the way Ravel talked to his much hated mom. “You’ve never known what to do about us!” he would scream at her. “That’s why you never say //my twins//, isn’t it, mother? Because we’re not yours.” This behavior did lead to their parents leaving, but is it the end of them? The boys live in an enormous house, funded by their mother’s acting profits. The house is found in a suburban-like neighborhood, and has a large garden to match. Even though the twins have access to an endless amount of money, Indigo, the older twin by a couple of minutes only buys essentials. Indigo, givin this responsibility of being older, controls most of the things the twins do, and possibly his brother’s life. Once Ravel, being the younger one, decides to do something such as get a job, Indigo is disgusted. He hates the fact that his brother is leaving him for these new dreams so bad that he poisons him daily in his food. This soon escalates into Ravel still pursuing a job so indigo locks him in his room and feeds him small portions of poisoned food. Now the rats living in Ravel’s bedroom walls are his only friends. Indigo has also put stakes outside his brother’s window in case of an escape attempt, so Ravel’s hopes are now all gone. Can Ravel escape somehow and brake free of this nightmare? You’ll have to read to book to find out. I rate this book a 9 out of ten, one of the best books I’ve ever read. Once you start reading, you’ll never be able to stop!

Reply by Patrick White- Hey tyler! The book sounds very interesting. It doesn't really make sense to me, but i think i would have to read it to find out! I like the plot a lot. Like I said very interesting how Indigo would poisons his own brother. Sounds like a great book, and I would like to find out what Ravel does to escape Indigo's harsh torture.

This book sounds like something out of a horror movie. Eek! I think that if i read it then i will get nightmares but if your into horror, I think this could be a grandslam for you. I did however like your review. You really wanted to make me find out why the parents left, how they died and what will happen to Revel! So though I don't think I will be reading this book great job with the review Tyler! -Mary Sturgis

This book seems very interesting. I liked how you had suspense at the end. It made my want to go read the book right away. I'm a little confused about why the brother was so mad at his younger brother for wanting a job. I thought the review was great and i'm hoping I can read this book soon.
