It took me a bit to get through the first 100 pages; pages 100-150 went a little better; pages 150-to the end just flew by. It was a wonderful, delicious little read, had something of Rebecca in it, with a fine little romance. There were a few things that felt odd or finished in a way that felt odd, but overall it was a really fantastic. (I would love to see this made into a movie--there are a few scenes that would just be wonderful to see on the big screen; if only I had the power).

A fluff read after a heavy book, this one did the trick. It's like a cross between Lulu Dark and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Naive, innocent teen detective who cares about her social life and wants to snag the dream boy but also wants to solve the supernatural mystery without help from adults. She wasn't too fluffy or stupid, but wasn't exactly deep. The characters were developed enough for this kind of story. There is a little suspense, some romance, some fashion, some vampirism, some bad hairdos, and a hellmouth, but nothing really scary.

This work seemlessly unites archaeology, history, and microbial biology by looking at how infectious diseases have caused our history. The deepest implications are reserved for our future, but the resolution of the past is brought into clarity as well. McNeil points to the sucess of Muhammed and Alexander the Great and argues that they owe more to diseases ravaging the conquered rather than the military prowess of the conquerer. Simple facts such as the density of cities and the rates of infection in deserts and backlands help to explain ancient history, and places the whole of our recorded human experience against the ebb and tide of microbial populations across the old world.

I read the Project Gutenberg edition at Giana's suggestion. It was a good mystery with a satisfying ending.
Very good account of the rich people caught up in the invasion of France. Irene helps you see the social dynamics that happen when the two different sets of people live together in the same place.

This book is so amazing! I love the characters and the way they met. I feel like there were so many profound observations and anecdotes in there that are applicable to real life, so it made it easy to connect with the characters. This book definitely made me a fan of Nick and I will be looking forward to reading the others.

4.5/5 It took me an age to read White Cat, and when I eventually got round to it I absolutely loved it. So when I could get the sequel from S&S galleygrab I was thrilled! (cheers Simon&Schuster!!) The book starts with Cassel and his mum pulling cons in Atlantic City. It's obvious Cassel's not feeling too happy with his mum right now, and he's really not getting into the swing of things with her. Eventually he gets to go back to his posh school for senior year. In true Cassel style, the first thing he notices is that a ground floor room will make it easier for him to sneak out. I've never really been enamoured by the idea of a Male narrator, and it's put me off reading a lot of books I'd probably really enjoy. Despite that however, I LOVE Cassel. Not in the sexy way most people seem to, I just really like him as a narrator. I love his moral ambiguity, I find it really refreshing. I'm probably not supposed to say that. A lot of reviewers have been saying they didn't like Lila and the first book, but I actually really did. She was turned into a cat for years, she's bound to come out a bit loopy. I think Holly Black handled her forced infatuation with Cassel really well, it wasn't at all undignified for either of them, yet you really grasped the scope of just how difficult the situation was, especially for Cassel. I did figure out a lot of the main plot; but I think Holly always adds extra, surprise twists which I find harder to figure out and they're the ones I really enjoy. I've not seen any review even hint at the twist with Daneca's character...does that mean everyone else had her all worked out (forgive the pun, I'm sorry) or that they didn't really think it was a big thing? Eitherway, that knocked me for six. Did not see that coming. And I loved the way it was delivered too. I enjoyed watching Cassel come to terms with, and investigate his powers, and Holly showed his situation of being stuck between a rock and a hard place exceptionally well. I especially enjoyed the development in his character; the way he was trying to be more open with his friends-it was great to see that. I give this book 4.5/5 it's extremely enjoyable and overall, the Curseworkers series is, like Holly Black's other works, a refreshing and interesting take on YA fiction.

So far, unimpressed. The writing is snobby and self-important.
When Lady Diana Fordham elopes with a Viscount who everyone in society frowns upon, her father sounds the alarm at London's most fashionable gentlemen's club. He vows to give her hand in marriage to the gent who rescues her. Two suitors immediately give chase and are followed by others also hoping to win the lady and her sizeable dowry. Enter the Marquis of Templeton, known by all as Temple, a fop and a dandy whose most pressing problem is observing London fashion and decrying the perfect fall of a gentleman's cravat. Or so he would have people think. In truth, he is working in the king's secret service. When called upon by king and country to rescue said Lady Diana (the king owes Diana's father a boon for his loyalty to the crown), Temple soon learns that the entire thing is a way for Diana to trap him into admitting that the passion they had ignited 10 years earlier still smolders beneath his foppish exterior. The plot thickens when King Louis XVI and Napoleon enter the scene. Seems there's more to Lady Diana than anyone knows? I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure through the English countryside. So nice not to have been stuck in the ballrooms and drawing rooms of the ton. Supberb descriptions and dialogue provide depth to the characters, making even the secondary ones come to life. The intimate scenes are handled with care and are not overly explicit. This is the first book by Elizabeth Boyle that I have read although she has written quite a number more. I look forward to reading more from this author.
Rick Riordan is awesome. Sometimes I find that some of his dialogue/descriptions are a little bit strained and weird sounding, but the way he weaves Greek mythology into his stories is masterful! This book is really relevant to my Classics class, and I felt I have learnt a lot about Roman AND Greek mythology. I'm a huge Percy Jackson fan, so it was cool to see some of the old characters again, although I did find myself missing Percy! Hopefully he'll join the story in one of the later books in the series. I loved the new characters (especially Leo, who makes me laugh,) and appreciated the way Riordan linked this book into the Percy Jackson series in subtle ways throughout the book. It's a fun, entertaining, humorous and educational novel that can be enjoyed whether you've read Percy Jackson or not (although I think people who have read Percy Jackson [and not just seen the movie!] will appreciate it more.) I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment!
