a great read.

+ Good, but not for kids . . . (a few spoilers here)

i really really liked this book. the premise isn't something i would normally read, but i'm glad i did. the main character, gemma doyle, is really awesome. she is witty, and strong, but she also has tremendous flaws. kartik. i love him, he's so mysterious. he is isn't in the majority of ...

+ "What My Mother Dosent Know" Book Review

I absolutely adore this book! I picked it up off of a Books-A-Million bargain table on a whim, thinking it would be a nice light read to occupy my time on a way home. It turned out that this is one of the best young adult books I have ever read. I leant it to two of my friends, both of whom agree ...

Prep: A Novel487 reviews

Random House, 2005

I could relate

I can't believe the mixed reviews for this book. I don't understand how some readers just did'nt get it, maybe they were so popular and socially adept in highschool that they could not relate. I certainly could relate to Lee on many levels. Did I like her? Not so much, but I could have been her in ...
  
  











  



  
The Jane Austen Book Club: A Novel283 reviews
Karen Joy Fowler

Plume, 2005

Great fun for Austen addicts

+ Let the Jane Austen Fest Begin

How much fun is this? A whole book about women who love to read Jane Austen--a book filled with coy plot allusions, character references, settings and themes. What's more, it's a book that's filled with humor and hilarity. Fowler--dare I say this?--is almost as observant about the foibles of ...

Blood and Chocolate312 reviews
Annette Curtis Klause

Laurel Leaf, 1999

An underrated, good read

I think this is a good under rated book for teens who are into dark fantasy and romance like Twilight. The story is centered around Vivian, who lives with her werewolf clan while they try to coexist with humans. It shows the character change as Vivian goes from hating and feeling superior to humans ...
  
  











  



  
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Musical Tie-in Edition)1522 reviews
Gregory Maguire

Harper Paperbacks, 2004

Truly Bizarre But Impossible to Put Down

I suppose that if I was going to take a famous children's story and make an adult novel out of it, I'm not sure I would have chosen something based on the Wizard of Oz. Maybe "Blueberries for Sally," where it turns out that the missing father from the story had been killed in a gangland slaying ...

If I Am A Witch They Will Soon Now It

+ Excellent read!
+ Sorceress

Like the previous novel Witch Child, this book was definitely a page-turner as well. At the end of each page, I would get more and more interested in the way that the Natives Americans would communicate with the sprits. The Native Americans also had to prepare for their spiritual encounter with ...

my good friend jeremy picked up this book for a little light reading, and let me just say when i came across him reading it the joy on his face was undeniable. he really seems to enjoy the material, and id say the message is universal if a 21 year old metal drummer can tie it back to his own life. ...
