Question: How do you like the story?

Weird, weird book. Very surprised considering its popularity. Had to finish it, though, and it was okay. I hate to say I wouldn't recommend it to a friend. Both characters were very odd and had several issues of their own. No real "good guy" I guess. Left me with a big ole question mark dangling at the end of this one.

Question: What is the heroine like?

I was in the mood for some light beach reading. This book was perfect for that. It was entertaining throughout and I laughed out loud a lot! The characters were likeable and I could not put this book down.

Question: How is the reader?

So beautifully written that you literally have to stop and close the book for a few minutes savoring what she's written. Her prose is so clear, so direct and yet so humorous that you smile through every paragraph.Gilbert is a born writer and one of the few I've read lately that make you turn immediately back to the first page to start over when you finish one of her books. Highly recommended.

Answer: Highly recommended

Question: What's the idea?

I have little respect for authors that borrow characters from other work (-5 stars) of their own, give them new names and toss them into a different story. No matter how interesting the storyline (4 stars) I feel as if the author is cheating, lazy and looking to turn a quick buck (  or meet an impossible deadline etc). The concept is intriguing (4 stars) and the pace satisfactory ( 3 stars) but it lacks the depth it needs to be exceptional. I was a bit confused at the beginning, thinking I was reading a second or third book in a series (i did check to make sure). The reader is dropped into the story with no introduction (-3 stars). It did not make sense. I ignored this issue thinking the story would evolve in a way that would explain. I later found that it was not important.  There were times when I did not want to put it down and was looking forward to my reading time (5 stars). The ending is completely set up for a sequel and when it is released I will read it with hope that she put a little more effort into it.

Question: Is the story have a good message?

The best thing about this book is: it is so simple to read and understand, and hence easy to remember.  The concepts laid down are so simple, and yet sometimes surprising.  Mr. Collins did not complicate the findings, and use very simple terms and stories to illustrate his findings.  Since the results are driven from detail researches, it adds certain credibility to the overall framework.  Ignoring the notes of the researches, the book only has +200 pages.  This is a must read of even the most busiest executives.

Question: Which part do you prefer?

As I write this, there are already over five hundred reviews of this book in ahead of me, so there would not seem to be much I can write about it that hasn't already been written. Given these circumstances, I'll cut right to the chase. This is a terrific book, and it is apparently just the first of six that will make up the entire "Fire And Ice" series.Tolkien is the standard by which I measure adult fantasy and, while my experience in this genre is limited, "A Game Of Thrones" is the most compelling and well-conceived tale I've found since Tolkien (and I liked Kay's "Tigana" and Brooks' Shannara books very much). It lacks Tolkien's deft touch of humor, but the plotting is intricate and multi-faceted and the characters have real depth, with elements of both good and bad in their personalities. Some are at once likeable but on the wrong side, and vice versa. Further, the "good guys" in this story are just as much at risk as the "bad guys". Death can strike down anyone, and it sometimes does so with stunning suddenness.The plotting is truly fascinating. Most immediately, the political and personal intrigue within the seven kingdoms is fast-moving and treacherous. But, beyond that, there is the Princess Daenerys, the last suviving member of the previous ruling house of the Seven Kingdoms, who dreams of returning from exile and reclaiming the throne for herself. Lurking beyond even that, however, is the ominous threat that "winter is coming". The great northern ice wall separates the Seven Kingdoms from a vague danger that is, as yet, only hinted at but which seems to be perhaps the greatest danger of all.This is great storytelling. A real page-turner. There's never a dull moment and, as a reader, I was always anxious to see what was going to happen next. I have the next book (#2), but book #3 doesn't come out in paperback for a couple of months and the remaining books in the series are farther down the line. I'm resisting the urge to plunge right into #2 for this reason, but I guarantee that I won't wait very long. Read this book. You'll be looking forward to more, too.

Question: Is it book?

When my dad read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo a while back, every time I walked by him he looked up (or didn't, because he was so insanely engrossed in the novel) and said, "Natanya, you HAVE TO READ THIS." Although I knew that I would not be as blown away by it as he was (my dad spends most of his time reading emails, not novels, and he's a computer geek), I knew I had to see whether the novel lived up to the hype. And now that I've read it, I can say that the majority of it did. The real meat of the story--the main mystery--is quite the thrill ride, and I found it pretty impossible to guess who the "culprit" was until the end. I loved Salander and her various methods of getting information or making things work to her advantage. Blomkvist was a little blah at times, but that didn't really hinder the novel very much--he provided a pretty good contrast to Salander's unpredictability.However, the mystery is framed by this financial libel disaster that Blomkist got himself into, and, consequently, I found the beginning and end of the novel to be very boring. While I was largely able to ignore Larsson's often excessive amount of detail for the bulk of the book (some of which became relevant later, others which were really not necessary), I had to force myself through the first 75 pages or so of detail and financial crap that was relevant to Blomkvist's life, but entirely irrelevant to the rest of the book. I suppose it is better that Larsson fleshed out the context rather than just throwing it in as a wimpy reasoning for why Blomkvist could spend a year on this mystery, but, honestly, I have little interest in the financial world.But, while this boring frame (and maybe it was just boring to me) made the novel a bit less enjoyable, the bulk of it is much more applicable to a college age girl (at times terrifyingly so), and is also far more graphic, shocking, gruesome, and totally gripping. As a warning, though, it does get pretty gross at times, and I had a hard time falling asleep a couple nights after reading this. So you may not want to read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo right before going to sleep, but if you like mysteries or thrillers, or are just looking for a hold-onto-your-pants ride of a novel, do read it.

Question: How is the pace?

I really loved this book. It's got a great blend of science fiction and 80s nostalgia, all wrapped together in a plot that moves like a roller coaster.In 2044, most of humanity is plugged into a virtual world called OASIS, the brainchild of a genius named Jim Halliday, who was raised in small town America and was a child of the 80s. Halliday, before his death, left a series of puzzles and clues that would lead one lucky player to his fortune. Wade Watts (nee Parzival) wants to be the first to find this treasure, and does find and solve the first of many puzzles. Now the world is watching. Wade's friends Aech and pseudo-girlfriend Art3mis aid him, and he meets up with other virtual warriors (Daito and Shoto).  However, a large corporation, IOI, led by a man named Sorrento, also wants to find Halliday's fortune and they've got the firepower and resources to do it.The characters are all likable (with the exception of Sorrento) and the 80s nostalgia is amusing (Halliday codes his puzzles with dialogue from 80s films like 'WarGames'). The pacing is brisk; once Wade finds the puzzles, the action starts and doesn't really stop until the conclusion, where Wade must solve the final puzzle. The author thanks several movie executives in the acknowledgements, and I truly hope this book is made into a film. I can't tell which I'd rather watch first: this, or "Robopocalypse."This book is highly recommended. It doesn't matter if you're a diehard gamer, an 80s child, or a WoW guild member. Even if your only exposure to video games was watching "Wreck-It Ralph" in theaters last year, read this book; you will not be disappointed.

Question: How is the sex?

This book was good, and I really did enjoy it (already started the second one). There were a few things about the characters that bugged me, but no one is perfect. I have read a lot of NA books and it was up to par, the sex scenes were hot and good (a little repetative at times but still good), better than fifty shades but no where near as good as "Rush" (the breathless series), that by far is my favorite. Overall it was a good book and an easy read (finished it in a day or so). The characters I hope will grow a little more in the second novel.

Question: How is the effect?

The final book in the Divergent Trilogy left a lot to be desired... That being said, the book wasn't necessarily bad and I feel that most fans of the series will ultimately be at least satisfied with the trilogy's ending. (In other words, it could have been a lot worse.) There's not much I can say about the story without giving too much away; the action and intrigue that comprised the first two books is still present in Allegiant. Also present is the ensuing romance between Tris and Tobias. Despite having the core elements that made up the first two books, there were a few things that I took issue with in Allegiant...For one, this book is told from the perspectives of both Tris AND Tobias. I was initially very excited about this aspect of the book. However, I just feel that this idea was better in theory. The dual perspective was not executed very well. There was no real distinction between the voices of Tris and Tobias. If you were to open to a random page and read it you would not be able to distinguish who was speaking (except for use of pronouns, names, etc.). I feel that Roth should have spent more time developing a clear voice for Tobias instead of using the same writing style she's used for Tris's voice.I was also a little disappointed about what was "beyond the fence." Don't get me wrong, it was interesting and thought-provoking, but... I just expected more! I feel like the explanation for the secrets behind Tris's world were just very bland (for lack of a better word). The previous two books were just so mind-blowing that I expected the same sort of pizzaz from Allegiant, but it just wasn't there.Despite these errors, Allegiant really is a decent ending to the trilogy. Even though it doesn't necessarily end the way you want it to. However, its flaws keep it from entering the realm of 5-star books like its predecessors, Divergent and Insurgent.

There was no real distinction between the voices of Tris and Tobias. If you were to open to a random page and read it you would not be able to distinguish who was speaking (except for use of pronouns, names, etc.). I feel that Roth should have spent more time developing a clear voice for Tobias instead of using the same writing style she's used for Tris's voice.I was also a little disappointed about what was "beyond the fence." Don't get me wrong, it was interesting and thought-provoking, but... I just expected more! I feel like the explanation for the secrets behind Tris's world were just very bland (for lack of a better word). The previous two books were just so mind-blowing that I expected the same sort of pizzaz from Allegiant, but it just wasn't there.Despite these errors, Allegiant really is a decent ending to the trilogy. Even though it doesn't necessarily end the way you want it to. However, its flaws keep it from entering the realm of 5-star books like its predecessors, Divergent and Insurgent.

Question: What is the sentiment of the story?

I rate books on how much of an impact they have on me and whether or not I will think about or want to discuss the contents after I've read the last page and closed the cover.The Roadis a post apocalyptic novel that will stay with me a very long time. The bleakness of the journey that this unnamed father and son embark on is quickly evident -- they are going south but have no real plan and no endpoint or destination in mind. They traverse an unrelenting and very bleak landscape of ash and burnt out flora, fauna and civilization -- devoid of any life except for the occasional creature that bears little resemblance to what was once humankind. The man and the boy stick to the endless blacktop, the road -- the only somewhat permanent residual marker in a very changed world. They walk by day, pushing a metal grocery cart full of their meager possessions, avoiding the marauding bands of cannibals and even the lone survivors as trust is not a trait they can afford to have when it is survival of the fittest at stake.Though the story is very grim, the love and protectiveness that the father has for his son is the only light in this otherwise very depressing narrative. They are all unto each other -- there is no one else and nothing else. Memories that the man has are soon discarded as his reality is faced with plugged determination -- a search for food, water, warmth -- merely to survive another day.I'm eager to see the movie based on this book and hope it's a faithful adaptation. This is definitely a novel that I will think about time and again as it haunts me with its stark portrayal of whatever comes after "the end of the world as we knew it."I gave this 5 stars, not because it was a pleasant story, but because of the impact it had on my psyche and my senses as I read it.I can't really say I LOVED this book, but I did live it.Recommend.

Question: How is the book?

If you're not DARING TO BELIEVE GOD for the impossible,you may be SLEEPING THROUGHsome of the BEST PARTS of your Christian Life.I really thought this book was thought provoking and insightful.  The writing style is very easy to follow.  Furtick uses a lot of great illustrations.  He also uses a lot of scripture to back his points.  The book really challenges us to pray big prayers and expect God to do big things for us.  He uses the term  "Audacious faith" a faith that challenges you to live with boldness.  I love the statement he used "A lot of Christians I know stagger through life in a daze. Suffering from posttraumatic faith disorder, they hunker down in the basement, open a can of Beanie Weenees, and wait for the end of the world."  This has a great and challenging book.I received this book free from Multnomah Books as part of their book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Question: What do you think about the story?

What a great book and start to an awesome series.Characters: 5/5Cassandra knows how to create great characters. The good ones are nice, the snarky ones are awesome and the bad ones wind you up. I love the humor she brings into the scenes as well.Clary - I like her from the start. Clary is easy to connect with and she is smart. Sometimes she can't see what is right in front of her but she keeps it together and is determined to find her mom.Simon - Simon is Clary's best friend and I love his humor and optimism. He is an awesome character. He is so witty and kept me laughing throughout the book. I really enjoy the comfortableness that is there in his friendship with Clary.Jace - I love his snarky and badass wit. He is smart, brave and just a great character. On the surface he is serious, honest and smart - underneath Clary brings out a more sensitive, caring side. Just like Alec says - Jace thinks he needs to save the world.Isabelle - I love Isabelle's way. She isn't out rightly a nice person but she isn't a mean person either - just really honest and a bit arrogant. My favourite scene with her is right at the end with Clary - where have a beautiful bonding moment.Alec - Initially Alec comes across really rude and offish, especially towards Clary. I could see why Alec seemed put out by Clary. It's as if Jace doesn't need him anymore and is utterly absorbed by Clary. I could see his troubles and I think great things will still come for Alec.Magnus Bane - I loved Magnus in The Infernal Devices. I don't feel he played a huge part in this story but I do think (and hope) to see more of him in the rest of the series.Hodge - Hodge is such a misunderstood character, I felt so sorry for him. I don't think he really knows where his loyalties and heart lie. He may have started off on one side, but near the end he makes some decisions to help people, regardless of what is in store for him.I cannot say I have one favourite character - I love them all!Plot, Pace, Writing style: 5/5The plot was captivating and gripping. Cassandra has a beautiful way with words and is an amazing writer. The pace is perfect and there is so much to build on in the books to come.Cover talk: 5/5 I love the covers in this series! They are beautiful and original.Final Thoughts:  I am really excited to continue this series

Question: How is the write?

This is a groundbreaking book, at least to me. I have read plenty of marriage and parental improvement books, but none that I recall address the potential pitfalls and methods of working with introverted individuals. Cain has an engaging writing and storytelling style that makes this book an easy read. I didn't necessarily think of myself as an introvert until I began reading through the checklist she put together at the beginning of the book. I knew I enjoyed my personal time to read, enjoyed expressing my feelings in writing and sometimes just had to get away from others, but only as I read this book did it dawn on me that these traits put me largely in the introvert camp. As the father of a possibly introverted child, there are some good take aways for me from this book as well. And the conclusion - talk about a life's manifesto! Overall, well done and fascinating read.

Question: How is the quality of the sex?

Cade MacKenzie is a marked man. After his cover was blown while working to take down the del Fuego cartel, he saw the woman he was in love with taken away. He is no longer the man he once was. There is darkness in him that wasn’t there before, but when he moves in next door to Bayleigh Scott she awakens something in him that he thought was long dead.Cade is the definition of alpha male. He is hard, sexy, and in control. Yet his past leaves a trace of vulnerability that is very attractive. He is also cocky in a way that is a total turn on instead of off putting. Bayleigh is a tough one in her own right, but her insecurities are a little clearer. I love the way Cade just sends her into a tailspin!Hart delivers her readers a very sexy suspense, and I completely ate it up. Of course I have read romantic suspense before with the emotionally wounded alpha male, and the woman who brings him redemption.  It is a fairly common formula, but it is for a reason. Readers respond to it plain and simple. Cade’s story reached out to me, and I fell for him right along with Bayleigh. This is a couple that can crank up the heat! The scenes between the two are both sexy and erotic. The element of danger was also a plus.  I must say Hart did a wonderful job. I giveCade: A MacKenzie Family Novel 4 masks!After finishing the book my first thoughts were of Cade’s brothers and how I need to know about them. This isn’t the first MacKenzie family novel, but Cade stands alone really well.. My second thought was I want to review every one of them!

Question: How is book?

I appreciated the way data was presented - very readable and engaging.  There is a little bit of a "Venus vs. Mars" feel to it but the book is helpful toward understanding different personality traits and provides good advice regarding how to navigate them, whether in personal relationships, parenting, teaching or workplace settings. I did find it a little repetitive but the book is clearly well researched and accessible.

Question: How is idea?

I love books by Micheal Crichton and buy all of them. I think his best were Jurassic Park and the Andromeda Strain. This book is entertaining and offers some interesting insights into 13th century mores,but the science  discriptions were missing and the story was not really compelling. While I  do recommend it, I just wish he would write something really gripping  again.

<hl> I think his best were Jurassic Park and the Andromeda Strain <hl> .


Question: Does the book have a healthy relationship?

***ARC received by Simon & Schuster for review***"You're trying to save him, and he's hoping you can.  You two are a disaster."I smiled at the ceiling.  "It doesn't matter what or why it is.  When it's good, Kara...it's beautiful."This quote describes Beautiful Disaster perfectly!  I had read a couple of good reviews about this book and when I saw Beautiful Disaster on NetGalley a couple of weeks ago, I decided to get it and planned to squeeze it my reading list sometime in the next couple of months.  But after reading a particular review by Debbie  at I Heart YA Books, I just simply had to put all of my other books aside and I HAD to read it right away!  I started reading this book around 11:30pm and I stayed up until 2:30am reading half of the book (even though I had to wake up at 5:30 the next morning) and finishing the whole thing the next night.  So yes, this book was simply unputdownable. (Is that a word?)Let me start off by saying that this book is not perfect and at times it was a bit of a disaster but that's why I loved it so much.  Travis and Abby were two very flawed characters with a lot of issues to work through.  For some reason these always become my favorite types of characters.  To me, it makes it even more special to see them grow and change and I feel like the payoff is even bigger at the end.  I know a lot of people really didn't like Travis but I absolutely and completely LOVED him, everything about him!  The good and the bad.  Yes, he can be a jerk and he has one hell of a temper and some major jealousy issues but all of these flaws just made him even more realistic to me.  Don't worry because he doesn't stay that way throughout the whole book.  Once he meets Abby he slowly starts changing, sometimes for the better, sometimes not.  But the important thing to me is that he tries to be a better person for Abby.  There is another character in this book, Parker, who is somewhat a love interest to Abby.  He was pretty much perfect:  good looking, rich, nice, good manners, Harvard-bound...and I absolutely could not stand him!  He was such a bore.  Maybe it's just me and maybe I'm not right in the head but I like reading about the messed up characters.  The more screwed up they are, the better I like them.  (Most of the time)Abby was a very complex character.  She has a shady past and has worked hard to move on from it.  But from the moment she meets Travis, she can't help but feel drawn to him.  Don't worry; this isn't one of those insta-love stories.  In fact, it's the completely opposite.  It's one of those almostexcruciating but awesome slow build-ups that pushes them together one moment only to have them ripped apart the next.  Abby and Travis have such a complicated and messed up friendship and their relationship is even more messed up.  Just like the quote above says, when things are good between them it was such a beautiful thing.  But when things went bad, it was definitely disastrous.  At first, I really liked Abby because she was really tough and she would stand up to herself to Travis and didn't take any of his bullshit.  But the closer they got, and the more blurry the line between friendship and romance got, she did some very stupid things which made me want to reach into the book and slap her a couple of times. (Maybe more than a couple)It's official!  I found my new favorite category:  New Adult!  I mostly read YA (hence the blog name) and as much as I love them I sometimes feel like there is something missing.  Well I found out what that was: sex!  This is another thing that adds a realistic element to the story.  I don't know why but it always bugs me when couples in YA wait until the third book to finally have sex.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not against waiting and I definitely love the sexual tension until then, but what is it about the third book that makes it ok then?  The relationship between Travis and Abby is scorching hot without being graphic or inappropriate.  It's also such a refreshing change to move away from the high school setting (and drama).  All of these things including the language make it so much more real to me.The plot definitely took a couple of crazy turns but overall, I absolutely fell in love with this book!  The only thing that I didn't like about the book was that Travis has this nickname for Abby: Pigeon or Pidge.  It briefly gets explained why he gave her that nickname although it didn't really make sense (to me).  I mentally programmed my brain to just read `Abby" every time the word Pigeon came out.  I also loved Shepley and America who are Travis and Abby's best friends (and also a couple). Travis and Abby are one of my new favorite couples and Beautiful Disaster has made it into my top 10 all-time favorite books.  I read on the author's blog that she is writing a companion to this book, Walking Disaster which is basically this story but told from Travis's POV!  Travis has some serious issues and I can't wait to get inside his head.  Counting down the days until we get to read a new perspective on Travis on Abby.Due to the content and language of this book, it is recommended for ages 17+. (New Adult)  Beautiful Disaster is not for everyone.  I have seen some pretty harsh reviews for this book and it looks like it's one of those books you are either gonna LOVE or HATE.  It's raw and intense and very emotional and it tackles some pretty serious issues.  Whether you love it or not, one thing is clear:  everyone is talking about Beautiful Disaster!  Read it and make up your own decision about it instead of staying away from it because of the bad reviews.5 out of 5 very sparkly stars!!!  A MUST-read!Some of my favorite non-spoiler quotes from Beautiful Disaster:-"You're only making it worse by brushing him off.  He's not used to that.""What do you suggest I do?  Sleep with him?"America shrugged.  "It'll save time."-He leaned in close and whispered in my ear.  "I don't wanna sleep with you, Pidge. I like you too much."He walked past me to the bathroom, and I stood, stunned.Kara's words replayed in my mind.  Travis Maddox slept with everyone; I couldn't help but feel deficient in some way knowing he had no desire to even try to sleep with me.-I clinked my bottle against his.  "To being the only girl a guy with no standards doesn't want to sleep with." I said, taking a swig."Are you serious?" he asked, pulling the bottle from my mouth.  When I didn't recant, he leaned toward me.  "First of all...I have standards.  I've never been with an ugly woman.  Ever.  Second of all, I wanted to sleep with you.  I thought about throwing you over my couch fifty different ways, but I haven't because I don't see you that way anymore.  It's not that I'm not attracted to you, I just think you're better than that."-"Abs?" What are you a workout video?" he sneered."Pigeon?" I said with the same amount of disdain.  "An annoying bird that craps all over the sidewalk?"-I yanked his shirt over his head, fumbling in the dark with his belt buckle.  He jerked it open, ripped it off, and threw it on the floor.  He lifted me from the mattress with one hand and unzipped my dress with the other.  I pulled it over my head, tossing it somewhere in the dark, and then Travis kissed me, moaning against my mouth.***Read more of my reviews at:Nereyda @Mostly YA Book Obsessed
