Recommended: now and then character analysis

In Megan Shepard’s The Mad Man’s Daughter, Juliet Moreau is a round and dynamic character. What I enjoy about this novel was the suspense in different parts if the book. Also the character development isn’t very noticeable but you can tell the change by the end of the book. The author has some higher vocabulary when talking about dissections and scientific terms. What wasn’t so enjoyable was that towards the end of the book the story moved slowly but, reading all the way through was worth it. I would recommend this book to middle-schoolers, high-schoolers. This book has slight gore, adventure, foul language, and romance. If you want something good to read and these genres suit your reading styles then you should read this book. Sixteen-year-old
