Review:Since the last novel there was an incredible plot twist that left the story hanging from the minds of readers everywhere. There was a hardening of characters, but also a deeper look at who they were and who they are now that was incredibly thoughtful and captivating.

This is a not a novel for the fainthearted, or for someone who thinks that these queens are going to live happily ever after. These are queens who are destined to destroy one another as they have for centuries, leaving the st... Read more

Review:This is an enjoyable collection that contains the first three books in the series. All three books are well written and enjoyable reads. I would definitely read them in order.

Review:I really dislike these people who sold this book to me. First of all, I got the book from them that was promised as new and it had a huge red mark on it. And second of all, it took a very long time to ship and by the time it did I already had to go out and read it for a book report. Would rate zero stars if it were possible. Read more

Review:I love The Cardturner simply because it is like no other YA book out there. It manages to tell a great story, spur thoughts about philosophy and religion, and teach me the basics of bridge. Few storytellers are capable of doing this well, but Louis Sachar certainly is one of those.

Alton is a wonderful character. He is easy-going, self-deprecating, and sarcastic, but his most outstanding characteristic is kindness. He goes along with his money-grubbing mother's demands to spend time with ... Read more

Review:Neal Shusterman really has a knack for writing Young Adult books that resonate with a much wider audience. I started reading "Bruiser" thinking I knew what the plot was going to be - I was WRONG. I hadn't read any of the promo materials and so had no idea and am glad that it happened that way. I was able to enjoy the twists and turns of the story because of that.

I really enjoyed that the book was written in four voices and that one of the voices was done totally in poetry. Shusterman... Read more

Review:In a time of dystopian stories, this one stood out and grabbed my interest. Not only great characters and adventure, but also depth to dive into with our very real reality of an ever growing population..... Read more

Review:Twisted centers on Tyler, the used to be nerd, now somewhat bad boy who bloomed into a full grown, six foot hottie over the summer. With his newfound ripped physique, he may actually have a chance with the hottest girl in the school, the girl of his dreams, but his feelings have to contend with his dysfunctional family and his slowly crumbling world.

Character-wise, Tyler is fantastic. I couldn't put the book down because I was just so attached to the guy. Anderson writes from the teenage... Read more

Review:Not my typical read, but a enjoyable change of pace. I was a little worried by the first few chapters, but that changed suddenly and I found myself so engaged that I couldn't put the book down. Dark Mercy has action, romance, a compelling story line, and believable, well developed characters set in the 1400's. It is marketed as a teen book, although I don't think I would recommend it to my young teenage daughter, but I am conservative in this regard. A great read! Read more

Review:I stand before you, still wallowing in the tears that began to flow from my eyes while reading TALON by Julie Kagawa. No, they were not tears of sadness due to the emotional level of the story. More-so, they were tears of sadness because of the complete loss of (the apparently much-too-high) hopes, dreams and expectations that I’d held for this book.

No, I did not care for TALON.
I didn’t even like it.

This is one of those rare instances that I actually must use the word “dislik... Read more
