Review:(My rating is really 3.5 stars, this is the only time I’ve wanted half stars on Amazon!) I’ve loved everything I’ve read by Stiefvater, so I was really looking forward to this. The writing was magnificent, as usual, but I just didn’t feel very invested in the story until the last third of the book. Definitely worth a shot, but not quite my thing! Read more

Review:“The knowing of what’s coming, the death that creeps up over the town like fate clawing at the door of every shop and home. I can feel it in the air, in the spray of the sea, in the hollow spaces between raindrops. The sisters are coming.”

This book took me forever to read. Honestly, it was less than a week, but it felt like forever. And my trend of becoming more disinterested as I read continued here unfortunately. The Wicked Deep showcases how small town secrets and a little bit of dang... Read more

Review:This book has the lowest rating (by me) so far in this series. Well, relatively speaking of-course, because 4 is still a pretty good rating in my world. And really there is only one reason for the lower rating - according to me, this book goes overboard with its focus on Ronan, to the detriment of everyone else, and also takes a detour from the main plot line.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Ronan. I actually like him - a lot, and this wasn't an irrelevant detour either. It does add t... Read more

Review:This short story was very entertaining even with so few pages. It's a nice interlude before the next book comes out and provides us with more pieces to these "Epics" powers.

Well worth the price. Read more

Review:This book is terrible, just like the movie. Stephen King has long ago ran out of ideas but this is absolutely dreadful. Every single character is rehashed from a prior book. The loving writer husband...check. The child character who only serves as a motivating factor for actions but doesn't talk or have any personality...check. The idiot redneck character who ruins everything or does something really stupid while serving as Stephen King's characiture of "right wing" morons (Stephen King is a pre... Read more

Review:Robert Heinlein's vision of life on Mars in this book is, from a scientific standpoint, way off, but the story he tells of two young men fighting to keep that life safe for their family and friends (with help from some of the native Martians along the way) is an interesting, funny, exciting, and wholly enjoyable one. There's even a bit of a mystery along with all the atmosphere and adventure. This is the sort of Heinlein book that one can't help smiling at the thought of.

Heinlein just ha... Read more

Review:I feel I should apologize for this review: it is written for teenagers and I wasn't aware of that fact. I waded through about 3 chapters before I had to give up on this story. It is DEFINITELY geared toward teens, if you like this type book it's for you! Read more

Review:Wonderful addition to our Harry Potter Home Library. Such a delight to glance into the beginning of JK Rowlings' original thoughts, ideas, drafts and pen and ink drawings. Really appreciate all of her creativity, research and devotion. Read more

Review:My wife and I both love this book and the two proceeding ones. The exquisite characterization, the improbable love story, and the indeflatable plot are some of the reasons we recommend this wonderful book.

Review:Arcane is the first entry in the initial series of five books. I found it to probably be the best of the 5 novels, but please, don’t let that fool you. I devoured the entire series in a weekend where I saw very little sun and ordered pizza to avoid interruptions (I might have shown up to work without sleeping). If you are looking for some light casual reading or an fun fantasy romp, this is it. Read more
