But this freedom is more like a golden cage, deep underground.

STYLE
--------------
The writing style is vivid and expressive at the same time.
The author raises the typography for the supportive narrative level.
Words, sentences, which allows not to feel or think Juliette, are streaked or be repeated if their emotions overwhelm them almost physically. Even numbers and puncture be used as a design tool.
In a subtle way a development is described as Juliette.
The more security you feel, the less words are crossed out.
The course of history develops fast-paced, thrilling and surprising.
The individual characters are individually and very human.

CONCLUSION
--------------
I have nothing to criticize!
The criticism of others that Juliette is too weak and unstable as a character, I do not share
Juliette was forced to spend their lives isolated devoid of affection and touch others.
Instead, she has experienced only rejection.
It is understandable that she suffers from an anaclitic depression (mental hospitalism).
She is haunted by her past and has at the same time afraid of the future.
She wants to change their lives and trust others, but never learned how.
Most of all she wants acceptance and tries everything to fallen.
That you can not succeed, however, because they can only be happy if she herself is.
And when they were all doubting what it is and can not accept, sabotage their self-doubt she repeatedly.
It is a vicious circle.
Only by Warner, who already knows and recreates their darkest, deepest fears, it can find and break access to himself.
For them, Warner is not a monster, even if the others hold him for it. Nor does it have to be one.
The wish that Juliette is to become the confident daredevil, I find too shallow.
It is interesting by its psychological depth and their inner struggle.
