Invisible Stanley - Stanley in Space
Invisible Stanley - Stanley in Space

Review:I bought this to start reading chapter books with my 5 year old son. I wasn't sure what was out there besides Captain Underpants (no thanks) so I found this in a search and we were amused by the synopsis. It's been fun to read and imagine what it would be like to be flat. We even got the idea from Stanley to send ourselves to relatives in other states. Read more

The DUFF: (Designated Ugly Fat Friend)
The DUFF: (Designated Ugly Fat Friend)

Review:So overall I enjoyed the book. Bianca and Wes were fun, damaged and flirty. There are a bunch of great one liners. And Bianca's flaws were very real and I found myself thinking this girl was strong but vulnerable. I would recommend this book as a good beach read. My only major problem with the book is that I think the author attempted to tackle too much and then just swept major issues (ie divorce, alcoholism, and abandonment) to a quick resolution. I still think these issues needed to be in... Read more

Legacy of the Drow, Book 4 - Legend of Drizzt
Legacy of the Drow, Book 4 - Legend of Drizzt

Review:(Original Review 3/21/2014)
I love Drizzt books, let's get that out of the way. I swallowed each preceding book reading them during my commute, lunch, evenings and even into the wee hours of the night.

The legacy of the Drow was a great trilogy ruined by this awful piece of dung. This book effectively negates the previous three taking 4 steps back after each previous story took one forward.

(Spoilers ahead)
Easily the most boring and predictable of the stories I've read thus ... Read more

Icewind Dale Trilogy, Book 2 - Streams of Silver
Icewind Dale Trilogy, Book 2 - Streams of Silver

Review:I thought about writing a one word review, the title being "Dwarfs" - the body being "Dwarfs". Then I realized that readers may feel as if a dwarf advocate. Far from it my friends, far from it.

I wanted to give this review two and a half stars; half of the book is great because we have the fun act of reading about the character the book was written for. Yet the other half was reading about a dwarf.

Dwarfs.

So here is the plot in a nutshell: A ranger (Drizzt, who is also an e... Read more

Review:Lectura que te tiene en suspenso continuo. Los personajes son los mismos de El Juego del Angel y El prisionero del Cielo. Las historias se continuan de una a otra novela dando un panorma mas amplio. Read more

Beyond the Shadow of War (Sequel to Of Windmills & War)

Review:This book was wonderful, I know its fiction, but I can't imagine all the research that went into your books. With the heartaches, it made me cry, with the joys, it made me cry. I just loved getting to know all of the characters in depth. Thank you Read more

Marina (Vintage) (Spanish Edition)
Marina (Vintage) (Spanish Edition)

Review:Este libro, Marina, es un relato narrativo de ficción que se lee en poco tiempo. La narración es simple, pero muy efectiva, logrando cautivar al lector con suspenso, tristeza y humor. Se trata de las aventuras de Oscar Drai y su amiga, Marina; quienes juntos forjan una amistad estrecha al resolver un misterio que desafia el tiempo. Creo que es para adolescentes, ya que este libro no es muy profundo, pero tampoco deja atras temas que si lo son... Read more

The Prisoner of Heaven: A Novel
The Prisoner of Heaven: A Novel

Review:The author pulls the reader into the place and time with all of his novels. He weaves the story like fine silk and the reader begins to be one of the characters in the book. The characters become friends who one cares about, and has concerns for. My biggest regret is that I have finished it and there are no more in this series. Read more
