Teen & Young Adult
Review:After hearing so much about GGTVAV and reading so many great reviews for it, I was definitely pulled onto the hype train. Luckily, the hype didn't fail me and I ended up loving like everyone else!
Monty doesn't make the best decisions (some of them had me rolling my eyes a bit), but thankfully he had Felicity and Percy by his side to keep him straight and help him out. I honestly don't think Monty would've made it very far without those two. He's also a bit conceited, but also super charm... Read more
Review:Wow, just wow. I have been looking for a great dystopia ever since Anglefall (Penryn's adventure) and this book may have been even better. Perhaps because this world is entirely created from the author and is so different while also being believable. I absolutely love these characters, I cried and laughed with them. I finished the book in between work and far into the night (4am!!!) The ending (no spoiler) was so emotional and yet left me with hope for a sequel. I dare not say more!!! P.S. This ... Read more
Review:I was waiting for these stories to come out an eternity, and finally managed to have time to indulge myself into reading this incredible story. Love it. If you love Tobias "Four" Eaton as mush as I do, then I recommend you to read these SHORT stories based on him. Thank you Veronica Roth Read more
Review:I am absolutely in love with the book and wish that I didn't have to wait another year to find out what happens. Unlike Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles series, I feel that Renegades is not a series that is as universal a read. The Lunar Chronicles effortlessly blends science fiction with a fairytale retelling and I feel can draw people in even if they don't normally read either of those two. Renegades on the other hand is definitely a superhero story, with fantastic characters and an intriguing... Read more
Review:Takes you on another walk through Veronica's mind... The reasoning behind the factions... I loved it! It's great that it's free! But I would have payed a little to read it too :-)
Thx "V" for clearing some stuff up ;-) Read more
Review:I really enjoyed this one a lot. It probably has to be my favorite in the Four series, only because this one talks about meeting Tris and some events that happen in the Divergent book but now come to light. The tension he has with Eric, the struggle to admit his feelings for Tris, the struggle with the decision to tell Abnegation about the upcoming struggle; I mean there is so much that Four has to go through and that is why I enjoy reading about him overcoming his struggles, that I can relate t...

Review:I listened to the book on tape as an adult and it not only inspired and moved me, it actually challeneged me to further explore Alaska and wolves in general. A well deserved "classic" status, along with The Hatchet and other gritty young adult novels. Read more
Review:The book reads like some weird info dump. It’s very dry and boring. Could be a result of the translation but I doubt it. And it’s crazy short. Definitely not worth $6. Deeply regret this purchase. Read more
Review:What a fantastic book.
We are introduced to 16 year old Amel that has just begun Dragon school. No big deal you say?? Anel has always dreamt of flying and becoming a dragon rider and won't let anything get in her way, not even her crippled leg. She has a heart of gold and wants to live life on her terms.
I honestly can say that I loved Amels tenasity. She has been belittled and made fun of and yet she was the most determined and compassionate young lady never letting anyone tell her what s... Read more
Review:Have you ever listened to a wonderful storyteller tell a wonderfully long story with an ending that just makes you say, tell the story again? That is Aristotle and Dante. I finished the prose-like story and wanted to go back - to see the clues that were so obvious now.
I want to say more, but I will give too much away. It is a story that touched me and I have already passed the book on to two other friends.
You fascinate me, Benjamin Alire Saenz. Read more
