Review:Fun read, enjoyed the stories of the portraits and the ghosts who inhabit Hogwarts. Wish there was more about the friendship between the founders - especially about the tricks and adventures they had. Read more
Review:I loved the other short story ebooks published by J.K. Rowling, but Quidditch Through the Ages disappoints. It could be because it's supposed to be an actual book for wizards by 'Kennilworthy Whisp,' but it dragged on and on about history, teams, plays, etc. etc. I thought, "Okay, you can stop making stuff up now." I would recommend the others over this book: 'Short Stories from Hogwarts of Power, Politics and Pesky Poltergeists,' 'Hogwarts: An Incomplete and Unreliable Guide,' and 'Short Storie... Read more
Review:The story starts interestingly, but was quite a waste of even the little bit of time I put into it. Couldn't finish it There are grammatical issues and editing requirements on top of that. Good thing I got it for free. A story that will not make you feel like there's anything new in it, the writing is not even a bit exciting, things that should be mentioned in a line have been stretched. Read more
Review:While I, mostly, enjoyed reading the series I found the writing to be somewhat inconsistent. It felt like the author was writing one, or more, books at the same time. Two instances, in particular, stand out. One where she says Jeremy is interning at his father's company, but in another book he was a banker. The second one was so obvious, I question whether it was the same author. In the first chapter of the first book Belly says her brother Steven taught her to whistle really well and how pro...

Review:Are you reading this book because you're looking for deep, insightful reading material? Probably not. However, this book promises no such thing so we're good! It's such a cute, cheesy romantic story that wouldn't ever happen in real life and that's why I love it. As long as you know what you're getting yourself into, you'll love it too. Read more
Review:It is extraordinarily difficult for me to gather my thoughts on this book into coherent form. You can tell by this sampling of my notes:
pg 97 tears already
PAGE 197 CHILLS I HAVE ACTUAL GOOSEBUMPS
pg 249 why
So, forgive me the rambling quality of this review.
THE SERPENT KING is a book about salvation and family and what we inherit and what we make of ourselves. It touches on poverty, mental illness, abuse, and religion--all difficult topics, all handled deftl... Read more
Review:This novel was you typical teenager girl who fall sin love, but the twist is that there's more to the story. You live day by day with Belly and you feel whats she's feeling, and you see everything the way she see's it. You feel her emotions and know how she will react. This novel trilogy was very cute and i recommend it. Read more
Review:While I enjoyed the journey back to Creekwood, and the familiar tensions of change that the end of high school brings, I could not stand Leah. I am (apparently) in the minority with this, considering the glowing reviews, but I find her a tremendously unsympathetic character. If she was unaware of her faults, it would have been much easier to get through, but she REPEATEDLY exhibits how self-aware of her attitude she is, and her reluctance to change is just disgusting. Her situation is understand... Read more
Review:I read this book for a class assignment with dred. It was written by two people with two different styles, about two people with two different lives and too different for me to immediately like it. I won't lie, it took me to about 40% of the way into the book to get into it but when I did it was truly amazing. I feel so overwhelmed with thoughts and feelings that I just had to write a review, my first on this site.
Give it a chance and prepare to be inspired. Read more
Review:I received this book for an honest review.
This book would be a great read for all teenagers. It delves into some very difficult situation no teenager should have to go through. The bullying described in this book is severe and I hope and pray if even one teenager reads this book who bullies and stops when they see how much hurt it causes them this book is worth ievery read! Also, if any person going through the difficult situation this girl does in the book hopefully they will learn tha... Read more
