Review:So before Lock and Key I was completely unfamiliar with Sarah Dessen's work, oblivious to the existence of her novels. After reading this novel though, I don't think I'll ever pass up another of her novels, like ever. Lock and Key is a captivating, moving, heartfelt story of a girl trying to find her way after all the detrimental experiences she's had to endure and learn to move forward.

I have to say that I've never been a fan of novels that don't primarily focus on romance, love, and re... Read more

Review:The decent middle and end made up for the terrible beginning.

Spoilers!

Firstly: The character's mother was in a terrible relationship yet she's pushing her teenage daughter into getting into a serious relationship at an early age. Seems a little unlikely but also what kind of mother is freaking out over her 17 year old daughter still being single. If she were in her 30s or even late 20s, I'd kind of understand but what message are you sending to young girls out there? If you don't... Read more

Review:This, personally, is my favorite Stephanie Perkins book. I liked it far better than Anna And The French Kiss and Lola And The Boy Next Door. Perhaps it's because I felt more of a connection with Isla.
This book is genuinely amazing. It had me laughing out loud and then sniveling in the sad scenes. Being 22, I don't think that I was the target audience for IATHEA, but regardless, I think people of all ages will enjoy it.
So, basically this book follows Isla Martin who has been in love with ... Read more

Review:I wanted to read the Bourne series because I really loved the movies. However, I quickly began to realize that the movies are nothing like the books. They are still very interesting and for the time it was written so filled with detail. It's just funny nowadays reading about tapes to record things on. Though I liked the movies better, the books were interesting for me to read. There's even a very interesting discussion Bourne has with a Russian agent in the Bourne Ultimatum that reveals a v...

Review:I only finished this book because I started it. There are instances where the writing doesn't make logical sense and what he describes in one sentence contradicts what he said in a previous one. I know it's fiction, but this was a waste of money. Read more

Review:Recently, in a review of F. Scott Fitzgerald's first published novel, "This Side of Paradise" (1920), I mentioned that I thought his contemporary, friend, expatriate and fellow writer Ernest Hemingway had definitively won the battle for "number one" writer of their generation, variously named the post -World War I, "lost", or "Jazz Age" generation. Paying due respect to the greater literary merit of Fitzgerald `s "The Great Gatsby" as, perhaps, the best of the individual novels (or short stories... Read more

Review:Another great Jason Bourne thriller. Obviously, Jason Bourne is getting older, so it is anticipated that the series will eventually end. However, the author continues Robert Ludlums legacy and the book does not disappoint. I loved it! Read more

Review:Lustbader doesn't bring his best game to this book! Just a little lose and at times not up to the Bourne style that we've all expected!
Bottom line though Bourne on even an off day is better then most! Read more

Review:I cannot fully articulate how perfect this little book is. A wonderful story much larger and more important than its small binding implies. I will recommend this book for years to come. Don't let this pass you by. Read more

Review:This book is for a younger audience than myself, however, I found Georges's style replicated exceptionally well, resounded and articulated to all audiences in the manner of not only looking for more but happy to engage similar mysteries. A sensitive and engaging novel for all. Read more
