Skybreaker was a rollicking good time, with plenty of action, although I thought that the middle sagged just a little bit. The "science" of flight and "zoology" in the book were a bit much to believe, but I had no problem suspending my disbelief since it was such a fun action-adventure book. I would definitely recommend it for reluctant readers, especially young boys, who seem like the hardest reluctant readers to appease.

I felt I couldn't rate this as I was unable to finish in the time alloted. I appreciated reading the different thoughts and opinions presented in the book.

Yum, yum, yum! Okay all you Jane Austen fans you will love this adaptation by Elizabeth Eulberg. She did a fantastic job! I enjoyed this YA novel so much and let me share a little secret with you . . . I picked this up at our local library and had several young women swooning over this book! One young woman came up to me and said she read it twice in a weekend, another said she would have kept it longer and read it again, but knew it was on reserve, and a third said she's after me and couldn't wait! So, I promised to finish it over the weekend, which I did! It's well worth it! I just loved the characters and would so enjoy a sequel based on Elizabeth's imagination as to what happens to these characters post Pemberly and Longbourn! Please, please, oh please Elizabeth - go for it!

On a recent vacation through Colorado, i convinced my best friend that we should make a stop along the way. I wanted to see Columbine. I didn't want to go in, i didn't even want to stop the car. I just wanted to see it. I'm not sure if my friend understood why, but i needed to see the school. I've been curious about it for a while. I feel like to this day, the massacre is an important part of American history. What i saw surprised me. I didn't get a very good look at the school. We'd arrived right as school was letting out and it was raining so traffic was a mess. I didn't even recognize Columbine at first because the side of the school that faces the street is opposite from where the violence occurred. What surprised me was how nice the neighborhood was. The houses were beautiful and everything was well kept. Columbine is located in an upscale, bright community. Not the poor, boring suburb as i'd originally believed. What else was i wrong about? Turns out i was wrong about almost everything. Most of us were duped. It wasn't exactly intentional though. It was mostly because of sloppy and hasty media coverage. Most everything you know about Columbine is dispelled in Cullen's daunting version of the story. It all comes down to whether you trust the author. It's hard not to with such a detailed and meticulous read. All of the chapters are explained with notes in the back of the book. Much of the book is paraphrased through Eric and Dylan's manic and over-the-top journals. The rest is told through police reports and eyewitness testimonies. The finger is pointed primarily at Eric Harris and his textbook psychopathy. Dylan Klebold was his depressed understudy, ready to die at the time of the massacre anyway. Without spoiling the book (because everyone should read it), the 'why' of Columbine is written off as Eric's psychopathy. That's as close to the truth as we can get because we'll most likely never know the full truth. The tragedy will join the ranks of 9/11 and JFK, speculated upon from now on. The killers were punk criminals, not bullied loners. They easily had dates to the prom, which took place a few days before the shooting. One kid drove a BMW. Both did well in school up until the end of their lives. They hacked computer games and jammed techno music. Both kids were very intelligent. So much so that there wasn't a place in society for them, a mostly untouched problem if you ask me. That kind of unchecked intelligence creates immense boredom and extreme arrogance, traits most psychopaths share. This is explored in Cullen's book. It's a very well-paced book, i was finished with it in a few days. Cullen is a great writer and journalist, in that he effectively told a sprawling and multi-faceted account of the tragedy in about 400 pages. We're told first of the shooting in a grueling shot-by-shot witness account and later through the killers' eyes. In between is the aftermath and Eric's journal entries retold by Cullen. It's a ghastly and sobering story, ultimately ending in profound sadness and little hope. We're never preached to, never talked down to. The book is sensitive yet unflinching. It humanizes not only the killers but the victims and survivors, long speculated on by the general public. I don't want to watch any shows about Columbine or even see pictures, it was that much of an engrossing read. I felt like i was a part of everything when i was done with the book. The only tedium i came across was during the explanation of the lawsuits that followed the shootings. Every now and then i found myself confused about who i was reading about. Those are minor flaws in a classic book though. Though Eric's psychopathy is primarily blamed, the true catalyst is never pinpointed. I have my theories. Cullen theorizes himself that the trigger was when the killers were arrested for breaking into a van, a felony. But around the same time, Eric was put on Zoloft, a notorious anti-depressant. I've always believed that they do more harm than good. The drug most likely accelerated Eric's plans. There are other books about Columbine but i don't want to read them. Cullen's version satisfied my curiosity. I'm mostly uninterested in the conspiracies, only lightly covered here. There will be conspiracies forever and we'll never know for sure. The killers' childhoods remain a mystery. But i myself don't believe anyone can be born bad. That's a bullshit card to be dealt. There are outside factors that cause it. We just don't know what they were in this case.

Well, this is a "classic" and comes highly recommended, but it didn't appeal to me at all. First of all, there was no real story, other than this boy who was kicked out of school spending a few days in loitering about. He had no ambitions, no hopes or dreams, and not much to recommend him. It is touted as a great "coming of age" novel ... however, I don't know people who come of age the way he did. And although I've learned to overlook language that I don't usually use when it is in books, this was, to my mind, overdone. It might be the way the boy talked, but that was just more to "not recommend him". Even if the word "goddamn" had been replaced with a nice word, say, "rainbow", I wouldn't have wanted to read it as often as it was included ... often several times in a paragraph, and sometimes more than once in the same sentence! So overall, I can say I wasn't really impressed, although I'm still glad to say that I've read the book. Even when I don't especially enjoy a book, I enjoy the challenge of reading it, and contemplating what it might be that others see in the book to recommend it.

... I did thoroughly enjoy this book. Rachel Caine has sucked me into another series. I just hope it keeps my interest as much as the Morganville kids have. .... I did like all the twist & turns of this book although 1 question was left unanswered (for now) .... What happened to Mr. French?
