Across the Universe by Beth RevisUnlike most books that catch my fancy, this one actually had to work at it. But it was in a dump (re: cardboard display) near the front and so I always saw it. The cover really is nice, and eventually I snuck a few peeks. Eventually I discovered that after all the rationalizing in my head I'd done about why I didn't want to read this book, I really ought to read this book. So I did. And I enjoyed. Very much. Amy is set to be cryogenically frozen for 300 years, but is awoken 50 years too early - and not by accident. Someone is killing the other frozens, and the only one that can help her is Elder, a boy set to take control of the ship. But everything on the ship seems to be fashioned from lies. Amy knows she can't trust anything - maybe not even Elder. There's a lot to be enjoyed here, so if you haven't visited a spaceship in a while, now is the time to do it.
