Diana has tried for most of her life to suppress the witch she truly is. While researching material for a speech at Oxford, Diana runs across a mysterious little, bewitched book. Because of her lack of interest in all things magic, Diana sends it back into the stacks and it disappears. Unbeknownst to her this book has the history of the different nonhuman races-vampires, witches, and demons-and each race is determined to lay their hands on it. A sexy vampire appears on the scene taking not only a special interest in the book but also Diana. I was hoping to like this book but it just takes itself way too seriously. Recommend for the adult Twilight fans who want a more mature romance.

What could I say? This is easily the greatest graphic novel of all time. That being said it leaves pretty much all graphic novels that came before and after it in its mighty wake. This is such a deep book and so little people noticed until the movie emerged, which is a good thing because most people will want to know the source material for the movie. They will find out that the book is superior, and wonder why they haven't read this book a long time ago. Do yourself a favor and read this book despite your pre judgements of graphic novels. This book should be enjoyed by everyone.

This one's sort of sentimental to me because I read it while I was studying abroad in Pamplona, Spain, where part of the book takes place.

The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht is a fascinating book. It is essentially about a grandaughter remembering and coming to grips with the life and death of her loving grandfather, who happened to be a doctor in a war-torn country. The grandfather had told her stories as she grew up about tigers. She realizes these were not mere stories but lessons about facing death as she searches for the cause and meaning of his death. This book was beautifully written and the characters were people I could easily relate to...they were well developed. I recommend this book.

Answers the deepest question of life: who am I?
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is a young adult vampire book. It reads like the best fanfiction you've ever read. It feels like a spinoff from another story with the same characters where the vampire and the human girl get to stay together in the end. Also, even though she is a mere human and all the vampires are at least a hundred years old, fantastically rich and incredibly talented, almost all of them adore her and think it's great that their fellow vampire is in love with her. No wonder this book and its sequel New Moon are so popular with teenage girls. This is fluff reading at its finest.

** spoiler alert ** Just a totally ridiculous, absurd, and hilarious book. To explain: This novella is a satire. Now if that doesn't mean much to you, I'll explain further. The whole story is just a twisted version of the world of Voltaire (AKA the Age of Enlightenment in the 1700s). It plays with and makes fun of the absurdities of the age and about human societies and lives in general. It is a completely ridiculous book, so ridiculous and funny that I can't even explain it fully. The whole tone of the book of one of absurdity and there's no possible way it can even be taken seriously if you want to enjoy it. Speaking of which, it is an extremely enjoyable book. It may not make you laugh out loud, but it will sure make you smirk and grin as the ridiculousness of it all slowly engulfs you. My favorite part of the story has to be when Candide stayed in France. Now, before I go on I have to fill you in on a few background info. It is important to note that Voltaire himself is French and...well lets just say he's not a good terms with French society (was as exiled among other things). It was also around the same time of the French Revolution, so everything was kind of wacky in that country. Anyway, now that you have that enlightening information, I shall explain why I liked Candide's stay in France. It was so satirical that it wasn't even funny (well it was, but you know what I mean). Voltaire made fun of practically everyone in high society, what with the pamphlet-monger and the Marchioness. He also made fun of the police force in saying that every foreigner gets arrested and how they can easily get off if they have enough money. But what I like most is when Candide gets sick and when the word spreads that he, an extremely rich man (for Candide was loaded at the time), is ill, people flock to his room and soon he has "a number of intimate friends whom he had never seen." And I just smile and laugh at the greed and the power money causes. And it really just shows you how little everything has changed. And yes, this is totally exaggerated but it still makes some oh so true points. Okay...there is another really good part (not that the rest of the book isn't also really good) that I want to talk about. Its when Candide meets up with this Signor Pococurante, a noble Venetian, and how this man practically has the whole world a his finger tips (he is that rich), but he is not satisfied with anything. (There's this one funny part where he talks about how in Homer's books all the battles are alike, the gods are always interfering but never do anything important, and how Helen, whom is the cause of the Trojan War, is barely in the story. Which by the way is all very true in my opinion). And what this noble shows us is, again, how nothing changes. Which leads me to the illustrations. Practically every version of Candide has different types of illustrations, and I want to comment on the illustrations in my version. All the drawings, while simply gorgeous and rich in detail, are all very....uh...its hard to explain. The only way I can really explain this is by comparing it to Salvador Dali (he did the melted clocks painting), meaning the illustrations are done in the same dream-like, warped reality sort of way. Which is the reason I love them. It all fits perfectly which the satiric theme of the book. To put it in my friend's words: "This book is like a really long personal fanfic...like Dante's Inferno." What she means by that is that the author puts a lot of personal opinions and likes in this story, and I can't help but agree. But that what's make this book original and oh so Voltaire. It has the Voltaire stamp per say. And that's something I've yet to see in a modern novel. For the record, I feel like I'm obligated to say something about Pangloss's philosophy that plays an important roll throughout the book. It states that everything (including all the suffering in the world) is for the best, that its all some part of a greater cosmic scheme and how everything is put forth towards a greater good...or something like that. Right now, I just would like to say how completely and utterly absurd that is (even though people during that time period and before believed that). And Voltaire seems to agree with me. Candide's and other character's farcical journey is basically a response on how that philosophy is wrong. And in the end, Candide (really Voltaire) comes up with a correct philosophy that I can't help but agree with. It states that how everything may be crap, but you have to find the one thing in life that will make you content. It will not come to you. And that I think is something everyone can live by. That's basically it. Again a totally ridiculous, hilarious, absurd, and farcical satire. And I really really liked it. One of the better books I've read in school.

Another great book. It was very slow in the beginning but really picked up speed towards the last chapters.Now I am dying to read the Book 3,even though I am terrified to know the fate of my favorite characters.I would say this again that the books should have been edited better. Characters I loved: Jon Snow, Arya Stark, Tyrion Lannistor. Characters I hated: Theon Greyjoy, Jeofferey(?) . I like Daenerys but her story is disjointed from the rest of the characters and I almost rushed through her chapters. I couldn't care about Davos's POV and to be honest I skimmed it. Also I am really excited about what the author does with Jon's character (view spoiler) Off to the Book 3.
