White Crow is a mystery horror novel happening in the center of "Winterfold", a new, unpleasantly spooky place out of London where the protagonist Rebecca is forced to stay the rest of summer. I have finished almost half of the book and "uncanny" and "queer" would be the words to describe the story. The character setting, general mood, and the written style itself really is unique and strange, which also makes me thing some details are a little unnecessary. There are three different narrators in the book, all divided into separate sections of chapters, and although it adds a special, entertaining twist to the whole book, some are too disturbing to the comprehension of the story and seems unnecessary. However, what I really enjoyed were the unique, unusual characters, such as Ferelith; a little girl who seems to know everything and who is significantly different from most of the other pink, charming girls at her age.
I can't help at times to think that the book is a little monotonous, but it certainly is a spine-chilling, interesting, fresh book to read.
