Why oh why do I keep reading this series? I really don’t enjoy the way Aprilynne Pike writes. She overwrites constantly. It “set’s my teeth on edge.” I find Laurel so completely annoying, I can’t stand her. If she were an actual person, I would try very hard not to ever have to speak to [...]
I read and actually really enjoyed the first book to this series. Oh no, you should be thinking, it’s never good when a reviewer starts out this way. Oh Bree, where did you go wrong? I have never felt this disappointed in a second book of a series. I read it really fast just after [...]
I’ve really enjoyed The Girl books by Stieg Larsson. I know they are everywhere and their apparent popularity is a little off-putting (at least to me) but they’ve been a lot of fun. They are a fast and exciting ride through the mystery/suspense/crime genre that doesn’t disappoint. The Girl Who Played With Fire is the [...]
Blech. As I write this review I know this novel will appeal to many readers but I just really disliked it. The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie is a novel that follows 11 year old Flavia de Luce as she solves a huge mystery of murder and theft that spans 30 years. The [...]
I would suggest reading this novella for Twilight fans. It is an interesting glimpse into the outside world of Twilight vampires we never get to see in sheltered Forks, WA. That aside, I still don’t know what makes Bree so special someone would be compelled to write a spin off novella about her. Whatever Stephenie [...]
Interview With the Vampire introduces you to Louis, who is being interviewed by a journalist about his existence as a vampire. As you follow his life story you then become acquainted with Lestat, who made Louis, and the child vampire, Claudia, that they later made together. I last read this book sometime in the late [...]
Dune sets the stage for an science fiction masterpiece of epic proportions. You have a large, dare I say ‘galactic’ feudal empire ripe with vendettas, politics, religion, destiny, and of course, planetary ecology. You have a child destined for greatness at the center of a massive web of personal agendas and empire wide plotting. When [...]
Ender’s game is set in a future world where humanity is in a war with an alien race of giant bugs. Genius children have been bread and molded to become the greatest military leaders and win the war. This is my first Orson Scott Card book and I liked it. He writes children well, (not [...]
Foundation is the first novel in the foundation series. The Galactic Empire is about to fail and Hari Seldon and the new science of psychohistory are attempting to save all human knowledge and bring humanity through the resulting dark ages. I am split on my feelings about this book. I have just as many things [...]
I enjoyed this book. The Hunger Games is a very quick read and a real page turner. Set in a near future dystopia after the fall of the United States of America, a young girl and boy from the 12th district in the nation of Panem must compete in a death match type game where [...]
