Bah. Living in a Bubble w/lyrics by Eiffel 65 sets up the meaning of this book nicely, I think: We live in a bubble baby. A bubble's not reality. You gotta have a look outside. Nothing in a bubble is the way it's supposed to be, and when it blows you'll hit the ground. We live in a bubble baby, but it's not the place to be cause it's a place of lies and hype. Don't believe the bubble cause it's nothing but a dream, and when it blows you'll be alone. Oh yeah Told from Nick Carraway's point of view, we're introduced to the empty world inhabited by Jay Gatsby (aka James Gatz), a made(up) man, who spends his money in a show of conspicuous consumption in an attempt to win the heart of the girl he loved shortly before the War (WWI), Daisy Buchanan. Unfortunately, she's married in the interval to Tom Buchanan, a man who comes from the same wealth and class background that Daisy springs from. She and Tom understand each other very well. She turns a somewhat blind eye to his infidelity and he assumes she loves him in some manner. Tom is a brute though, so I really don't get why any woman would want him, to be honest. Daisy's insensitive to other people's feelings so, I guess they're perfect for each other. (can you tell I really don't care about these people?) Gatsby never gets it though. He's looking for the solid, wholesome, lovely girl he thought he fell in love with, but that Daisy is smoke, insubstantial, and, in all probability, never really existed. She does, however, have a hard cold core of steel of one who can take her revenge out on Tom's mistress and never turn a hair. In all honesty, I still don't understand what drives English teachers to stuff this down their student's throats. It's a boring book at best, full of nonsensical flowery language that puts one to sleep (I nearly did fall asleep on the first disc - not a good thing when driving!). Yep, we get a glimpse of an era that doesn't exist anymore, when money seemed flow like water, or the booze that snuck in over the border, when flappers danced, and the whole world (or, at least, the US) seemed to be at the top of its game. Yep, we get to see empty people living empty lives doing empty things (that whole wasted day in the hotel room in which tempers flared), but all you have to do these days is turn on the TV for that (Real Housewives, anyone?). In the end, I think it all comes down to one's preference. The Great Gatsby to me is not so great.

Mostly, I just wanted Louis to stop his fucking whining. Perhaps I'd like the other books in the chronicles more.

This one is in my collection, but I don't recall much about it. It has to be pretty good though considering I only keep works that I really *truly* like. =)

This was a childhood favorite of mine that I recently rediscovered. I remember checking it out from the school library at least once a month. I was surprised by how complex the language was and how beautifully the author wrote. It is definitely one that I'll be buying to add to my bookshelf.

Overprotected absolutely blew me away. Seriously. I knew it was going to be good but I never ever imagined the way I would devour it! Ashlyn has been overprotected by her Father for forever. And she is tired of being protected and not having any friends. Which leads to her acting out and her old bodyguard being fired... And guess who comes to town?? Colin. Colin is one if the sweetest boys I have ever met in YA fiction and I don't say that lightly. He was always there for Ashlyn and comforted her. He was stunning. And he never took things too far and was just plain sweet. Ashlyn, oh I felt so sorry for her. The life she lives is awful, I could never imagine it. Some of the things she did might seem childish or stupid. But it's exactly the thing I would do if I was in her situation. She was also a really great character. I don't even want to mention her parents they were so awful. Despite the plot being mainly about Ashlyn trying to escape and a couple of spoilery things, it never dragged and I was super addicted. The style of writing and Ashlyn's voice made this truly unforgettable. I don't think I can express in a review how special this book really was and how much I loved it. So basically I just want everyone to give this a try because it was so good! I left with a new favorite and an author to watch out for!!
