Ever since I fell in love with Diana Peterfreund 's Secret Society Girl series last year, I've been hoping I'd get the chance to interview her here. Tomorrow marks the release of her new novel, Rampant , and let me tell you that you have not read a book like this before. You can read my review here , but all you really need to know is that it's a story about killer unicorns and the young women who hunt them. You want to read it now, don't you? Oh, yeah, and it's YA and the first in a series! To celebrate the release, Diana graciously answered a few of my most burning questions. As she is always a delight, I know you'll enjoy them as much as I did. First things first: When did the idea for Rampant first hit you and what (if anything) did you know right off the bat? In early 2005, just after selling Secret Society Girl , I had this dream of being chased by a very dangerous unicorn. I woke up and went to go look it up to see if I could figure out the meani
Guess I should go ahead and read it! I hope it lives up to your hopes and expectations!
ReplyDeleteHuh. I am curious to see how they will pull this off. Esp. the mild incest.

ReplyDeleteCam, seriously. Fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteKay, lol. Bump it up, woman. :)
Wow, she thinks the script is better than the book?

ReplyDeleteI became interested in literature recently, and I think that reading books is the best thing it happened to me since the invention of the cinemas, I like to read suspense novels and also literature about short movies.
ReplyDeleteWell I think it will be a great film. However, I need more opinions. Why do you think it will be a successful film or not? I would be really grateful if I receive some opinions.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a good film as it would be a great way of introducing moral responsibility to those on the threshold of adulthood. But what do you think?
great post, i really like, you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI read this book two years ago, and absolutely loved it! I was hoping they would make a movie of it and I'm thrilled that they chose Saoirse Ronan for Daisy
