I did really enjoy this mystery though, it wasn’t overcomplicated, which was perfect as it is a short book and if it had been too complex it would have been too much and potentially overwhelming. There’s a lot of mystery involved, as you don’t really find out what is truly going on until towards the end of the story.

I loved this book for how unique it is, I’ve never read anything else quite like it and it was a quirky read too.

I particularly enjoyed the fact that Ella has lost her memory, so that the reader can relate to her in the way that neither knows what is going on, as obviously she is a character that you couldn’t normally relate to, being a doll. It definitely isn’t an all-time favourite but I’d say it’s definitely worth a read, as it’s unique and short.

This book was strange but I actually really enjoyed it. With time running out and mad dolls on the rampage, Ella questions her very existence as she unearths the secrets buried in her past secrets that will decide whether Gabby will befall the same fate… It’s too bad the professor wants to turn Gabby into a doll, depriving her of an education…depriving her of life. How could she, when Lisa keeps trying to destroy her?Įlla likes the professor’s granddaughter though, even if she is dying. His most recent creation is Lisa, a sly goth. She watches the professor create other dolls, but they don’t seem to hang around for long. She forgets what it’s like to taste, to breathe…to love.
