2.5 stars I should start off by saying that I'm a huge fan of Ms. Kagawa's Iron Fey series, so I was very excited to read her next series. Unfortunately, this book just didn't do it for me. I really struggled through the first half, almost wanting to put it down. I'm not really sure why, there was quite a bit of action, but for some reason I just found myself bored and not caring. Fortunately, the second half was much better and I started to get into it a little more. Our main protagonist, Allison, was actually a pretty good character but I'm really not too sure about the love interest. He seemed immature in some ways, acting much younger than Allison. He almost felt a little wimpy in some ways, though the chemistry was decent. He is NO Prince Ash, that's for sure. I will probably read the next one, though I won't be waiting with bated breath....

(taken from my blog) First Thoughts: My first thoughts stemmed from my friend Rachel back last year when she was a senior taking AP Literature. Mostly I just read her blog, with all her quotes from Poisonwood posted. She told me that I had to read the book before AP Lit class ruined it, since it was really good and she read it her freshman year of high school. Well, I tried to read it last summer. It just didn't happen. I also tried to read this book before the deadline to have it annotated for class in December. That didn't happen either. I finished it a month and a half later, today. I was late not because I didn't like the book. I adored this book. But to sum up my first thoughts, I was really excited to read this book! After reading the back cover, I learned it revolved around themes that I was very interested in--missionary work, colonialism, language, history, faith, and Christianity. Plot: I just want to start off by saying that this novel is such an amazing piece of literature that it's going to be hard to review, just because I wish everyone could read this book. So, with that in mind, I'm going to say what I liked about my experience reading this book and what I didn't like so much (which is a very small list). Plot-wise, it all starts off on a journey. A journey to someplace very different for the Price family: inside Belgian Congo. The plot was very precise and covered the lives of the family through five narrators: Orleanna Price and her four daughters: Rachel, Leah, Adah, and Ruth May. Since the novel covered three decades, it wasn't a series of ups and downs with plot twists and drama. It was very realistic and kept you intertwined in a world that felt beyond real. There was one climatic point in the book that changes everything, and from there you have to learn what happens to this incredible family. Characters: With many of the books I read, the characters dominate the plot. The characters of this novel stick out so well to me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading from their perspectives, especially from the daughters, each with their own style of language and literary techniques. I learned to love most of them, and in the end I had a connection to all of them. They were extremely real, and I could draw parallels to my own life and my family. Five hundred pages was enough to get to know these girls and their mother, but I wouldn't mind hearing more from them. They looked at the world so differently and rotating them as narrators kept the novel interesting and wanting to turn the pages. Overall, the characters were fantastic--the main ones but also the secondary ones as well. As a whole, it was the people in this book that made it great. Such colorful characters! Setting: The setting really defines this book. Without the elements of the Congo and Africa, this book wouldn't have existed in the same way. Overall, it takes place in the United States and in Africa over a period of 30 years. Spanning over three decades, I believe, was necessary in order to really show the changes (or the non-changes) in the Price daughters. Even though it created a longer novel that at some points dragged on a bit, the setting was great for this novel. It made me learn about a different place, and it opened cultural doors. It was authentic, believable, and rich. Writing Style: Kingsolver is a master. I wish I could write like her. And all the palindromes during Adah's chapters! Some of them blew me away. (Some examples: Sun o put o not upon us! or Elapsed or esteemed, all ade meets erodes pale!) I read that the translators had trouble translating these into languages other than English. But back to her writing style...Kingsolver adds so much imagery and symbols to her writing, it's like a breath of fresh air. Her style compliments the characters, and overall is a significant part of her creation of The Poisonwood Bible. I can't wait to read more of her works! Dislikes: The only thing that I disliked about reading Poisonwood is that at some points it dragged on a bit. I was hard to pull through and read until the end. It is one of those books that you can keep reading a little bit at a time, making it last a while. But once I came down to the last 90 pages or so, I owed it to myself to read these characters' stories. No specific dislikes, as a whole, though. Overall: Poisonwood was an eyeopening story that made you mad at the world and made you appreciate life as it is. Kingsolver's writing itself should be enjoyed by everyone. It was delightful, compelling, purposeful, and very believable. Overall, to me it was a look into a new culture of history and a new culture of language. One of the best books I've read during my school years.

I really enjoyed this book. It has the potential to be too sentinmental, too sappy, but Coupland does a great job with the subject matter. I was surprised at the happy ending, but I still really, really liked this book. What a refreshing change from the bad chick lit I've been reading!

Melodrama is the heart and sole of this book. It's a morality tale, but it's so over the top you have to wonder if this was the novel that young women were not to read, lest they swoon and learn bad things.

Another one of my first romance novels. Once again I don't remember the details, it's been over 20 years since I read it, but the title and the author bring back some fun memories of raiding my moms book shelf. Even tho I don't remember the details, it made enough of a impression that I remember the book and author.

“We're just being neighborly. Everybody's a neighbor.” - Larry Green Sara Crimson finds herself pregnant and moving in with the baby's father Max Pharaoh. aside from struggling with her latest WIP and facing the ups and downs of a first pregnancy, Sara believes something is very wrong with her new home and neighbors. when people start disappearing, nothing could be further from the truth. this novel is a creepy look into what happens to good people who happen to be in a wrong place at the right time. all of the characters are well fleshed out and the setting is eerie enough to draw goosebumps as the story unfolds. i like how Sara is portrayed as a young woman facing an uncertain future with a man she hardly knows. Max appears to be dorky and sometimes insensitive to her but he is really a good person, sincerely loves Sara and looks forward to being a dad. the neighbors are described well. their distinct personalities and habits contribute to the forbidding atmosphere and paranoia that Sarah feels. my favorite is Cory, a kid who befriends Sara and becomes her ally. readers who are a little faint of heart but still enjoy a good fright might find some scenes gross so be forewarned. author Brian Rowe has definitely kept me reading (and guessing!) way past my bedtime and it was worth it!

I'm a fan of the "Enger boys" books. Both brothers (Lief and Lin) are remarkable writers who put a personal and intimate feeling into their stories. This book loosely parallels the story of Hamlet but without, arguably the errant madness.
