I have previously read “The Skellig” by David Almond and really liked it. So, I was eager to read another book by Almond. When I saw that Dave McKean (illustrator for many of Gaimen’s kid’s books and graphic novels) had illustrated this I had to read it. The story was …
I wasn’t sure what to expect of this sequel to Beaumont’s “e: A Novel”. I received this book as an advanced reading copy through the Amazon Vine program. I have never read “e” but heard it was very funny. So, I was looking forward to reading “e2” in hopes that …
This is the third DiCamillo book I have read. I really enjoyed both “The Magician’s Elephant” and “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane”. I liked this book too, although not as much as the others of hers that I have read. Rob Horton’s mom died and then his dad decided …
I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while. It ended up being a very creative and intriguing read; I enjoyed it a lot. Emer Morrisey was a terrifying pirate in the 1600’s who was on a quest for independence and to find her childhood sweetheart. Just when her …
I was excited to read this book. The synopsis of it reminded me some of “A Great and Terrible Beauty” a little bit. This book really wasn’t like that at all; it was okay and somewhat entertaining. I found it to be very predictable and the characters to all be …
I got this book on a whime, because the premise sounded interesting. It was a decent book overall; although not so spectacular that I want to read the next two books in the series. Bobby wakes up one morning to discover that he is invisible. No one can see him …
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book. Overall this book delivered a story that was much more than I as expecting and much broader. The research that had to have gone into this book is amazing and the story both sweet and bitter. I listened to …
I have heard about Avi for a long time; he has written a ton of young adult novels and after reading the synopsis for this novel I decided it was probably an Avi novel that I would enjoy. I was mostly curious about what all of the buzz about Avi …
I got this book through the Amazon vine program. People who have described this as Artemis Fowl as a chemist who solves mysteries are right on the mark. So far it looks like the author has at least two more books coming out in this series; one in 2010 and …
I have always wanted to read this book and I am sad to say that I was spurred into reading it because I wanted to read “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” and decided that to be fair to the humorous version of this book I should read the original. This …
