To read my review of Until the Fires Stopped Burning, click on the “Book Reviews” tab above. This book has had mixed reviews, with Booklist praising it and Kirkus Reviews panning it. I’m closer to Kirkus on this one, though not as cruel. I have a feeling one’s positive-negative reaction to the book reflects an inverse or negative relationship to how close one was to New York City when the event occurred (e.g., if you lived there, you’ll hate this book). Kirkus operates out of New York City, Booklist out of Chicago, and me out of Massachusetts (at the time).
