Review:I am a true blue Marian Keyes fan. The Walsh women are a tough gang but they would be a hoot to hang out with. In this novel, Anna Walsh goes through some harrowing experiences like most of us will at some point in our lives. Keyes description of these emotions made me gasp at some points and at others I had to stop and have a good cry. She does not waste any words on melodrama but the choice words are those that make the reader feel what Anna is feeling. It is a wonderful, empathethic journe... Read more
Review:I was excited when I got the email that this book was about to be released Bc I read the whole series straight through and had to move on thinking that was the end. And this book did not disappoint! Claire is finally at NOT but she doesn't escape the trouble for long, and the end totally leaves you hanging. So I can't wait for the next one! Read more
Review:There is a point in Nostromo where everything has gone so terribly wrong for everyone that you stop feeling sorry for them. This is not a bad thing. This novel is a lesson of when tragedy becomes pathetic and you find yourself laughing at the situations of someone even worse off than yourself.
This is a bleak and bitter story of corruption and revolutionaries and the greed and self-interest involved in creating society. Conrad here displays the sorrow of what happens when people of differi... Read more
Review:Conrad describes a scene, a feeling, a circumstance like no other. The story is a tale of internal struggle that might have been considered mediocre but for the unique style of Conrad's English. He is to be studied by any student of English literature. Read more

Review:My friends and I love the Maximum Ride series, and I think James Patterson has done a really nice job on the books, but this fourth book sucked! I mean, I like that James is trying to spread the message about global warming, but the melting oceans and the flock do not mix. There was barely any kick-butt-action, unlike the three other books in the series. One of my friends wouldn't even finish this book. Plus, this cover was seriously bad. Really really bad. I just hope the fifth book will be muc... Read more
Review:Like a lot of other readers, I was skeptical picking up this book. The 4th book was about global warming and it was one giant political message. This book wasn't nearly as bad. There was still some global warming and pollution messages however, it's not nearly as bad. Unlike the 4th book, they had a purpose in this book. I don't want to spoil anything from the book, but this time around, the flock was working to actually save something important to them.
This book isn't perfect though. The bo... Read more
Review:I like the book and I am very happy that Max and Fang are finally together. I liked the way it was ended...you know that the other are alive and Fang and Dylan have no hard feelings. I love that Max finally tells Fang that she loves him. I love that Fang also admitted his feelings for Max. I am very happy that it ended the way it did. Read more
