She Looks Pale by Kate Rigby

Hannah nearly dies of Meningitis at the age of six. This causes her parents to become extremely over-protective. Soon they take her out of school, and isolate her from the world.

A well written story of one young girls "personal hell". Hannah is very likable, I could not help but falling in love with her and wanting her to lead a normal life. Her Mother, Father and Aunt get way out of control with over protecting her. Yong Hannah wants nothing more than a normal show more life, to go to school, have friends and be happy.

A very original story, that grabs you by the heart and won't let go. I strongly recommend She Looks Pale to all. The cover is captivating, it captures Hannah's innocence and yearnings for normalcy. show less

Incredibly twisted story!

And I mean twisted in a good way. Every single detail is important to the story and it draws the reader in. A great psychological thriller, bringing the reader into the life of an experiment. Human experiment ... with great savagery, by trying to "tame" the wild child. The reader gets lost in the story, with twists at every page turning, it's an intense story. The deeper you get involved in the story the more you realize that the Professor is only focused on his show more pride for his work, not the wellbeing of his subjects. Yes, there is more than, but that's all I can say. If you love a good psychological thriller, this book should be first on your list. Highly recommended! show less

Intense and incredible read.

On the edge of life and death, yes that's what this is about and it's written in short snippets, that at first, I had to get used to and "catch" up, but once I realized the style fit the story perfectly, I followed without any issue. Death becomes an obsession, as it effects the lives of the characters, some more than others. It's an intense read, with some great dark humor. Highly recommended.

Interesting read that I couldn't pull myself away from

This is the second story of Rigby's that I have read and I found it just as appealing as the first. Hannah is a child, who suffers from Meningitis, however, that is the not most cruel affliction thrust upon her. Her parents, so fearful of this child dying, that they end up holding her prisoner in her own home, taking away all forms of communication or anything that may contain "germs". I felt show more disconnected from the parents because of the severe overprotectiveness and very empathic for Hannah. This not only shows the ritual of levitation, but also shows the audience how quickly Hannah fades. Interesting read that I couldn't pull myself away from. show less
