Review:I started reading it because the movie was coming and the propaganda was really good, etc., but as I started I wanted to kill myself for buying the complete series... the conversations are stupid and the way they talk... specially the main character (it's a boy that thinks and speaks like a girl). I sincerely don't know if the story or the book improves upon reading it because after the first 3 or 4 chapters (I don't remember), I stopped reading it... I just couldn't overcome how tacky and chee... Read more
Review:I was really excited to read this book and it lived up to my expectations. I really wanted to read more about Link and Ridley and the Caster world, and what happened after they graduated from high school. And I can finally find out. You won't be disappointed with this book. I recommend you read it. Read more
Review:Beautifully written. I've read several books about self-harming; however, I never could grasp why people chose to do this for relief. Glasgow's writing, full of imagery and strong diction, helped me understand. Would definitely recommend this book! Read more
Review:Frankie returns to Alabaster Preparatory Academy, a boarding school, for her sophomore year. She's a little curvier than before, and the boys are noticing--although the only boy she cares about is Matthew Livingston, her crush since freshman year. In fact, much of the story
is set in motion when Frankie, who is riding a bike, sees Matthew in the first few days of school and becomes so distracted that she loses control of the bike and skins her knee. Matthew comes running over to make sure she... Read more
Review:Laurel’s English assignment is to write letters to a dead person. But once she starts, she can’t stop. She spills her soul, her secrets. She writes what she can’t say. And slowly, the story unfolds about her sister May, and the fateful night she died.
I am surprised by how much this book sucked me in and kept me reading. I’m not a fan of stories told in letters/emails, etc. But this one takes the reader’s hands and gently pulls them in. I love how each celebrity was researched, Laurel wri... Read more
Review:"Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try.
There's be no hell below us, above us only sky." -- John Lennon, 1971
John Lennon "Lennie" and her sister Bailey are inseparable. The girls depend on each other and their maternal grandmother as their natural mother abandoned them when they were toddlers. Their "Gram" always refers to the "restless gene" that their mother had and fears the girls might have inherited.
Bailey is flamboyant, daring, an eagle in flight. John Lenno... Read more
Review:If you've read the first two Reckoners books you're going to read this one anyway, and you won't regret it. As a whole the trilogy is great, and the first 75% of this book is great. Even though it's marketed as YA I thoroughly enjoy it as an adult; it's "lighter" than Brandon's other fantasy, but still written intelligently with an engaging, generally well-paced plot and action and fantastic world building.
Unfortunately the end of this book (which is also the end of the trilogy) felt r... Read more
Review:I regret reading this book. It has a promising start, introducing many old characters such as Ferdy and Cogg and Martin. However, after reading the first few chapters, I began to wish for something more. It is incomprehensibly dull, with tiny patches of action that involve baddies that fight as well as rocks.Reminds me off Mossflower. The book has a slight peak when Martin and some of his pals are attemting to get out to a huge grouping off jagged rocks on the ocean that could be tense. From tha... Read more
Review:Marlfox is one of the best books by Brian Jacques. When the prized Redwall Tapestry is stolen by the Marlfoxes to brighten up dreary Castle Marl, Song, Dann, Dippler and Burble sets of under the guidance of Marting the Warrior to bring it back. So begins another saga, full of adventure, excitement and suspense, that will keep you reading till the very last page! It is a great book, and I suggest all fantasy freaks to read it! Read more
