Review:I checked this book out of my public library to review for suggesting as a read to my middle school students. I did suggest this book as a "must read". The love of this book spread like wildfire. This book is very well written. In fact, it is a Printz Honor–winning book. This book has several plot twists that I never saw coming. They also surprised and thrilled my students. Schusterman does an excellent job with his character development. It is unique how the author exposes the characters ... Read more

Review:Read on recommendation from a friend. Well written, full of action and believable characters. A bit too dark for my personal taste but if you are into dystopian type stories you'll likely love it. I wish there were a rating system for books that included a level of dark/horor/etc. Read more

Review:I have been hearing so much about this book and the sequel, Ice Like Fire, that I decided to pick it up at the library. I am soooooooo glad that I did.

The story follows, Meira, a Winterian refugee who was one of the few that escaped the King of Spring’s attack. Meira is an orphan and has been raised by William. Meira has called him “Sir” since the time she made the mistake of calling him father.

I liked the fiercely headstrong Meira we got to know as the book progressed. She is ce... Read more

Review:I was waiting for these stories to come out an eternity, and finally managed to have time to indulge myself into reading this incredible story. Love it. If you love Tobias "Four" Eaton as mush as I do, then I recommend you to read these SHORT stories based on him. Thank you Veronica Roth Read more

Review:(Source: I own a copy of this book.)

Review:So many things happening in so little time! That seems to be the main motto of Fragments. Kira is still searching for a way to cure both the Partials and the Humans and this goal leads her to many surprising discoveries. Meanwhile Marcus is trying to replicate the cure without success. The worst thing though is that the Partials are threatening to start a war if they can't get their hands on Kira. Fragments is the living proof that sequels CAN be as good as their prequels, or even better!

Review:Wow. This book was really good. Lot's of action, multiple story lines, great characters with their own personality, and events happen where you think - naw that's not going to happen, someone will 'save the day', but no .. it happens.

The ending fight scene was really good and a kick-ass character is lost, but it was so fitting .. and just worked so well into the story.

Good job Dan!!

Review:The first book was slow. The pace didn't pick up until over half way through the story, but I still enjoyed it because it was interesting enough that I wanted to find out what happened next and it involved a lot of the main characters interaction with her faith in God. However, after reading the entire story, I decided not to continue with the second book, because it was just too slow for me. About a year after I pick up the first book, again and re-read it. After finishing it for the second tim... Read more

Review:This was a good trilogy I was right there the full way through the trilogy but I didn't like the end. Spoilers ahead don't read if you haven't read the book..... Ok I have to admit I hate it when the main character loses there powers and the way she did I mean I understand it shows that she did all these amazing things on her own it wasn't because of the stone but still. I mean she grows really powerful amazingly powerful and then to lose it that turned me off right there. Other then that it... Read more
