My Rating: 4.5 
 Once upon a time there was a girl who was special. 
 This is not her story. 
 Unless you count the part where I killed her. 
 You have to believe me when I say that Ultraviolet one of the most innovative and original books I've ever read. Whereas some authors manage to come up with a brilliant plot or a captivating prose, I don't think anyone ever wrote a novel so peculiar and engaging in all its aspects. 
 Mind me, it took me a bit to adapt to the writing, especially before the author revealed the reason behind it, and if you're a bit of a science freak like me, you'll love it as much as I did. (view spoiler)[(I found the whole synesthesia thing unbelievably cool. I still think about it even though I read Ultraviolet almost two months ago!) (hide spoiler)] 
 In fact, although the story was amazing by itself, I wouldn't have put this book on my favourite-books shelf if it wasn't for the stunning, dreamlike, minutely detailed descriptions, both of real objects and feelings. 
 I also loved both the main characters and the relationship the two of them had, and I would have liked to see more of them together through the book, but, especially after the unexpected ending, I can't bring myself to complain. 
 The only thing that left me perplexed was the truth about Tori's disappearance and Faraday nature: it didn't quite feel right and, although beautifully written, left me unconvinced, which is the only reason I didn't give this book five full stars. 
 I can only say, kudos are in order, for an author can only be proud of having written a piece of art like this, and that if she ever feels like creating another (view spoiler)[synesthesia-affected (hide spoiler)] protagonist, or writing a sequel for this book, I'm more than up for it.
