The beginning scenes of the wedding and honeymoon are lovely, and tho, I, too, hesitated at the first sign of the 'little nudger', I thought the storyline was handled well. It kept me very interested, even if it was a little gruesome - hey What I actually find great about these books is the pace at which they move, given the sheer size of each book.

I was really burned by "The DaVinci Code" (we all were), about how new and exciting and different the writing was, and you have to give Dan How to take care of your babyHow to Take Care of Your Baby.generate question: This book has some good, reasonable advice. (It offers little advice for sicknesses, etc.)However, it's not worth buying. It's one of those books where you get the impression that Having grown up together, they had a chemistry that most married couples get after decades of marriage. But years of falling out of contact with one another also brought clashes. Alexandria "Alexa" McKenzie made a wish to Earth Mother asking for a husband, one who is handsome, is a generous lover in bed At the outset there is also a parallel bio of Lisbeth, the girl with the dragon tatoo. She has some major mental problems and is under guardianship, but we also see early on that there is some sort of genius genius within her. Watching her progress as she tries to In a nutshell: I will never understand how, and why it would take a whole book for Ana Steele to figure out that Christian Grey is after all a control freak and a psycho. I thought it had been obvious all along but apparently his ridiculously beautiful face is enough to make her stay and do all the HIGHLIGHTS: Despite being inspired by Cinderella, Meyer takes smart creative liberties that work very well. Building off of the bare bones of Cinderella's story, Meyer shapes Cinder into something unique and spectacular. One the largest highlights involved the characters - Iko (an android), Peony, and Queen The reader is presented with Mr. Zamperini's story, from his early childhood until his life after retirement well into the new century. Most of all, it's a story about his POW experience during WW II in the Pacific as a prisoner in Japan. Now, just the description of his long and How did you feel about the book? How did you like it? How was the writing style?How did the book feel?How was the reading experience?I enjoyed the book. It raised the bar for future reads. As my title states, the Book Thief, is beautifully written. This writer is The story smacks of tension right from the beginning, and as the story progresses I found myself more and more drawn into the world of Nick and Amy and wanting to know more about them - their families, their relationship, their whole history together and how it related to what was happening in the current day. How did you feel about the book "Irreducible Mind"?How did I feel about this book.generate question: This book was interesting to read but I was disappointing in the subject matter. I was expecting to have more of a medical explanation generate question: This is a book that makes you think about life and how it used to be. It could be disturbing, maybe, to some, but I chose toread it for the story itself. To me,the emotions in this book runs very true to the time of the story. Generate question: I am an art lover andThis book is a story of a stolen piece of art and the mystery surrounding the people involved. The book has great depth and requires you to figure out how the characters are related and involved. I stayed up far too late at night because I couldn The author seems to spend 95% of his time reading classics rather than what people in the modern world write and research and seems to have had some horrible interpersonal relationships with his former colleagues in the bank and in academics (probably because he can't articulate his points properly and doesnt have a logical process when making arguments How did you like the book? I liked it. I thought the initial idea of the Amy diary was clever and how she framed him, but it left everything else lackluster and dragging on. I never found myself rooting for any of the characters. I felt the ending was flat and without any impact. I generate question: I have no idea what book the other reviewers read, but I sure didn't read the same one because I thought this book was horrible. The Silent Wife: A Novel was amateurish, seemingly written by a high school student, and devoid of the depth necessary to make the characters interesting How is the book? The characters and plot line in this novel are very entertaining and thankfully enjoyable. I needed something light-hearted, and this definitely fulfilled my expectation. At times one does tire of the references to ice cream, but it makes the story realistic to a certain point. The I was most surprised by how much "before the Hunger Games" there was: the reaping, the parade, the training, etc. I expected it to get to the Games pretty quickly. The before stuff was still good, it really gave us a good chance to see the Capitol as a whole and Aiuthor Eckart Tolle provides thoughtful perspective on the ultimate questions about life. The book describes how to connect with your true conscious, or essentially God, by rising above the stream of thoughts that occupy our minds.I read the book very slowly. Usually I just read one section, 1-2 generate question: This was a very disappointing mystery/thriller. It was a total waste of time and money. The entire plot was lame only to be surpassed by a terrible ending This book has no business trying to be whatever it is the author turned it into. In my opinion, it is a thesis disguised as a novel. I would have found it much more interesting if it had been written as scholarly paper rather than trying to weave it into a story. The meat of the book generate question: REVIEWED BY LAURAFirst of all, let me address the elephant in the room. There's been a lot of buzz about the fact that this book wasn't popular when it was by an unknown author and then became bestselling after people found out it was written by J.K generate question: If you want a laugh, a good mystery, a few ghosts and some romance, this is the series you want. The characters are funny The stories are funny, and the dialogue between them is hilarious! Once you finished the first, you won't want to wait The book is extremely well-written, I couldn't put it down until the end. The world is divided into 12 nations and the Capitol. Every year, each nation must send 2 children between the ages of 12 & 18 to the Capitol to fight in the Hunger Games, only one child can survive. I was charmed by this book by page two-- including a taser in the opening chapter of any book will automatically make me fall in love. And the taser on page two wasn't even the best part! Even when Evie wasn't zapping paranormals, I was completely entertained. When I first started Clockwork Angel, I was immediately drawn into the plot. This plot was more interesting and well thought out. This book really kept you guessing and really keeps you interested. Just when you think you may have figured something out, a twist in the plot happens that takes you completely by surprise. How did you feel about the book? How did you like it?

I have read another book by the same author (Book 1 in the Molly Fyde Series) and was not disappointed. I thought that the author interview at the end of the book was hilarious. The story was a Not so with Brown's "The Da Vinci Code." Like much of the newer genre of novel writing, Brown builds interest in his work through mystery and action. That can be entertaining and fun, but the educational value is limited. You may "experience" the drama with the characters in a newer Generate question: This book started out with such promise. The writing is quite good. It was witty and made me laugh out loud several times in the first chapters. Unfortunately, the story went on way too long. It could have been shortened by about 100 pages. All the characters were unl Generate question: I enjoyed City of Bones very much. It was funny, witty, and just fun altogether.The flaw was simply that this book is much like the other books that are currently being published. Many of these books include vampires or werewolves or even witches. This book contains all of the How did you like the book? How did you feel about it? How was it? What did you think of it? Generate question: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you like books that keep you guessing all the way through, you'll enjoy it too. I find that my favorite books are the ones where none of the characters are all good or all bad. Real people are multi-faceted and generate question: I really thought that this book was going to be a home run; however, I can't say this was Rowling's best. The first half was super slow and it wasn't until the second half that the character s came together and the story line rolled on While I do recommend this book, I also recommend stopping this series after this volume is finished. The characters are a little flat and do not offset the undercurrent of the very dark themes. It was not always a comfortable story but was not challenging enough to make me feel as if I might have grown from Generate question: The Kite Runner is very easy to read. The characters are wonderful, and the story is so well told and educates you about the culture.Generate questions: The KITE RUNNER Don't let what others say make you shy away from this book or series; some people, it seems, get a little too into a story and forget that this is only a fiction piece. They claim it's too "easy" and ending or that it's not realistic. Well, let me generate question: Honestly I had never heard of The Hunger Games until it came out as a movie. Recently I caught the movie on Netflix and really enjoyed it. As soon as I finished it, I wanted to start reading the second book. Figured the book had to have more information about everything How is the book? It does not compromise national security or seek personal agrandizement. Don't miss it. You'll be glad you took the time.generate question: If I didn't already have a great appreciation for the Seals, and the great men and women that Would I recommend this book to someone? I don't know. I guess if they had the time for an extra book I would, but this was not Tartt's best work as far as the story went. It kept me engaged at times and it lulled at others. I actually put this book If you like fantasy, you will not regret buying this book... though some day you may regret becoming hooked on this seemingly infinite series. Though this is part of an apparently infinite series, this first volume of the million- is most certainly worth your money. All I can say is that, like so many This is also an amazing historical account of the forces that have changed our world in the last 30 years. From the birth of personal computing, through the internet, to mobile devices, the individuals such as Jobs that drove innovation during this time have been the true'masters of the universe.'

At seventeen years old she still doesn't fit in and people seem to automatically dislike her; then Finn enters her life and tells her that she is a Trylle But the reader is left to figure out a lot of the details for implementing the concepts. The "how" of the approach is all but missing. As a result, the book has more the feeling perhaps of a series of general overview lectures that provide occasional nuggets that an attendee takes home. I I run through them quite quickly and I'm very excited about Forever (book 3).Already read reviews on it and my fear of a poor ending seems quite unfounded.
