Alexandra Saunders alexandra8f9d — Another entertaining book from Dallas's own Mr. Clarke. Set in Baton Rouge...another place I've lived.

Jason Gale _utopilot_iz_ev — Romances were never my thing, and teenage romances just blow me away with how incredibly pedantic they are. Even well written and envelope pushing romances fall into the category of things I don't care about. That seems really harsh, I know, but I cannot lie. Teenage romances, especially, bring out the most cliche issues, pour on sap, and then end with lots of gushing. This was no exception, despite it's attempt at working with a, for the time, taboo subject. If it hadn't been two female characters falling in "love", it would have been a cookie cutter chick flick, sorry ladies. Aside from the massive problems with logical thinking in this book, the author's agenda was pretty evident, and didn't help the story flow naturally. Like other stories that want to make a point out of a somewhat awkward situation, the pieces seemed to be forced together to say what the author wanted. And what I couldn't get, is that aside from the obvious "mean and evil" characters of Ms. Poindexter and Ms. Baxter, no adult or otherwise in this story tried to make a logical argument either way. It was left to confused and impassioned adolescents to try to work things out on their own. I can't see this being taught in schools, primarily because of the obvious opposition many parents would have for the book's outright stance on a very touchy moral issue. Other than that, in my own classroom, I wouldn't subject my students to it, though I wouldn't forbid it either. Perhaps just a warning to let their parents' know what they're reading before hand. Thinking back on Cart's description of YA in the eighties, this book seems to fit in exactly as he described. I could see how some might try to classify it along the lines of the "problem novel", but it isn't so neatly one or the other, though my own inclination is to put it more in the romance category.

Eduardo Figueredo _duardo_aspar — A tale of gothic intrigue. The ending raised more questions that kept me wondering if it had ended the way I thought or was it something else.

Evan Grant minigrantyz — Well, it's pretty...? That's all that counts, right? What is plot any good for, anyway? This one gets two stars for the artwork. Plot counts for nothing.

Willem Balcaen willembalce783 — I have mixed feelings about this book. I enjoyed it, the writing was excellent, and it kept me sucked in the entire time. But at the same time I found some of the plot either slow or inconsequential, and sometimes Kvothe just seemed like a "Gary Stu" - he comes off as being too perfect, and EEEEVERYONE wants to sleep with him. So overall "The Wise Man's Fear" is a good sequel, but not quite as amazing as "Name of the Wind" was.
