Once you get into the rhythm of the story, it is touching story.

I'd like to start by saying that if I could, I would give this book 3.5 stars. I very much enjoyed this author's last book, Driftwood Summer, and was eagerly anticipating the release of her latest novel. This story is set in the South, which I always enjoy. It's the contrast between the expectations of the society-set, and following your true desires. I enjoyed the journey that Ellie took and I found the emotions to be realistic and inspiring. Usually in stories with a flashback story, I find that I prefer the historical story to the present, but in this story, it was quite the opposite. I was more interested in finding out how Ellie would proceed with her life, than in finding out who her mother's mystery love was...though I did have my suspicions early on. But there was just something missing, that kept this from being a four or five star book. The takeaway is that this is Ellie's story and that the other characters are going to be brief and almost two-dimensional...but maybe that's the way it is supposed to be. The story is the brief glimpse into someone's life as it is happening, and just as quickly, that glimpse is over.

Love this movie
I was completely in love with this book until the last hundred pages, which seemed to come out of nowhere and have very little relation to the first four hundred. Normally I'm not one for letting a somewhat dissatisfying ending ruin a good book for me, but in this case, the characters were so well-drawn and interesting and in spite of a totally ludicrous plot, so real, that to have half of the characters drop out of the plot entirely 4/5 of the way through just irritated me. That's not to say I wouldn't recommend the book, though. For most of it, I thought it was one of the best books about high school that I've read. The narrator, Blue, and her friends are incredibly precocious, but at the same time they were naive and gullible and stupid in exactly the right way. The book is worth reading for the depiction of Blue and her precarious friendships at a new school alone. Just don't get too involved in the book's mystery.
I'm reading this book by Kathy Ide to brush up on the latest changes to the Chicago Manual of Style. I am a writer and an editor, and I've found some great tips in this book so far.

Despite the folksy, hamfisted, and frankly amateurish writing, The Last Dive is at its heart a breathtaking adventure story about a truly different kind of thrill-seeking. Don't confuse this with a deep-sea diving book. Both Bernie and the Rouses, the focal characters, are mainly cave and wreck divers as portrayed here, and those are quite different sports from the sort of deep sea diving you might do on a cruise or see on a Jacques Cousteau special. Specialized techniques and equipment abound, and you learn about the thrill of discovering hitherto unknown (if creepy) species in underwater caves, and of retrieving artifacts and solving historical mysteries inside decaying shipwrecks. Neither of these forms of diving are for the faint of heart--they are far more dangerous than regular diving, because of the confined spaces and additional obstacles you face. Because of the focus on cave diving and the author's firsthand accounts of a terrible diving accident he himself experienced, this is a different book (and worth reading as well as) Robert Kurson's Shadow Divers. At the heart of this book lurks the question at the heart of all extreme sports adventure stories--is it courageous or just out and out selfish, especially when you have a family, to put yourself in harm's way (indeed, death's way) in a recreational pursuit? Bernie seems pretty ambiguous about this himself after his own near death experience, and given that he sold off his diving magazine a few years after the book came out, one has to wonder if his opinion has changed even since the book's "it's ok if you play it safe enough" conclusion.

This is a lovely book with a minimum of misinformation (all too common in bread books), but it just doesn't teach you how to make very many breads since it's half travelogue.

This haunting story must be unique in the fact that one never discovers the name of the main character, the person telling the story. A lovely read.
Claire’s a brainy, young college student. With the mean girls in her dorm gunning for her, she decides to move off campus. The housing she finds is home to three friends: Shane the slacker, Eve the goth chick, and Michael the barely-there young homeowner. The town’s a strange and dangerous place and Michael isn’t real eager to assume responsibility of another misfit toy, but they both know well enough that homelessness in Morganville is much more than an uncomfortably cold night. So, there’s Morganville—campus, Glass House, coffee shop. It’s like that scene in Pleasantville where Reese keeps asking ‘what’s at the end of main street?’ Movie props don’t really instill a lot of fear, but the book kept telling me to be afraid. And the characters seemed the same. Flat, not a lot of substance, nothing to back up what the story was telling me to believe. I like a little more connection and got bored when that didn’t happen with this series. I read through the second book because of the cliffhanger in the first, but will probably not pick up the rest.

This is the first book I've read from this author and I usually don't do vampire romance, but I was pleasantly surprised... Alexix is definitely my kind of girl, strong, independent, Type A... love her. She kept the story moving, and I couldn't wait to read what came out of her mouth next... In fact I even picked up the second one and started it. How's that?
