Who might Helen have been?

+ I'd always thought of Helen as just a pretty face, this book potrays her in a different light...
+ A Contemporary Mythology Lesson

Helen of Sparta, more commonly called Helen of Troy, who possessed the face that launched a thousand ships. But who might she have been before her abduction started the ten year Trojan War? Esther Friesner attempts to find out. Summarizing this book is pretty much useless since it doesn't really ...

Good Book

I think this book is good if you understand the deeper meaning within, many people in my College-Prep English class did not fully read and understand it, therefore they didn't like it. This book includes notes and a glossary on one side with the play on the other. I truely suggest this book to all ...

Not as good as Peeps but worth reading if you enjoy Westerfeld's work

Ok, so I will just be upfront here. I loved Peeps, and I was disappointed on the first page of this that it was not more of the same characters. Even though the Peeps characters appear, they are side characters, not the stars, which made me grumpy from the get-go. I like getting to know a character ...

Flawed and Loving it

+ Dark
+ Enjoyed it - 4 1/2 stars

I was really excited about this novel when it first came out, but the hardback was too much money. So I waited for it in paperback, and became uninterested. The more I learned about the novel the more it sounded like a rip-off of Black's Tithe. After reading it I'm so glad I did. Ok. First off I ...

Perfect Ending

+ Interesting conclusion to a fascinating trilogy.
+ A Great and Sad Beauty

I love this series and the last book is no exception. It is quite long but I was glad for the extra pages as I wanted to spend as much time as possible in this fictitious world. I am a sucker for happy endings so I was upset to hear that perhaps this wasn't going to be a fairy tale ending. I ...

After seeing this book only received 3 1/2 stars, I decided not to buy it. My friend later recommeded the book. I loved it! I read it in an afternoon. I don't know what some of these 1 & 2 stars were for...? I thought it was a great read!

A Page Turner

On a recent drive back to Austin from El Paso (a long drive if you've never done it), my wife and I took turns driving, the passenger reading aloud from Tantalize, something neither of us had done before. We found the book to be a page turner, as well as helping us chew up the miles of asphalt. The ...

Girlfriend made me read it...

+ Amazing!
+ Not as good, but needed

I started this series at my girlfriend's recommendation. I was afraid it would be like those Danielle Steele books. But it was surprising. This particular book in the series starts tying up some loose ends and I have already bought the 4th book in the series to read next.
