This is not the first time I’ve read this book; I read it back in 2011 when it first came out. I liked it the first time, but it didn’t wow me. I probably would have given it 3-3.5 stars. That was before I started blogging, and I remembered next to nothing, so it was almost like reading it for the first time again. I was never really on the Divergent bandwagon with all of the crazed fans, but with […]
Infinityglass was a cute conclusion to the Hourlass series! While I feel like the magic of the series fizzled out somewhat as it progressed (it’s just not the same without Emerson and Michael!), I’m happy with the way it ended and would still recommend this series to any fan of sci-fi or time travel. I must confess I didn’t like Hallie much at all in the beginning. She was one of those girls. You know, the kind that wear skanky things […]
I did not like The Goddess Test at all, so even though this sounded interesting I didn’t go in with high hopes. I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Aimee’s writing has come a long way! I loved the idea of this book. I thought it was fascinating how people had to take a test at 17 years of age to determine how their life would be. They were marked by a number I – VII; the higher the number, the higher your […]
This book was very tough to rate for me. I had extremely bipolar thoughts about this book, and the rating should be broken down as such: Scenes with the Anthropophagi Scenes without the Anthropophagi It’s no secret that I am NOT a fan of historical by any means, and I had no clue going into this that it would be historical (I saw Rick Yancey + gruesome horror and didn’t bother to read anymore). So, I was bored to tears in the […]
The uniqueness of this book was the selling quality for me. The idea was crazy, but also completely logical. It was done so well that I felt like it could actually happen! I didn’t really care for Sal, to be honest. She was rather flat and dull to me, and I couldn’t connect with her at all. I felt nothing reading from her perspective because she was so detached and clinical about everything. The emotion just wasn’t there. There were a […]
I do love the occasional mystery, and this one was pretty darn good! It gave you several options without giving away the ending. I have to admit, while I suspected the person at one point (although I suspected a couple different people), I didn’t figure it out until the end. I love that it wasn’t predictable! I tend to figure things out before the characters do, so it was refreshing to be surprised. Norcut says that was probably why my […]
