Favorite bit: "It makes me sad because I've never seen such-such beautiful shirts before..." So pathetic, so wonderful.

short review. this is what happens when you have a baby. i really enjoyed this book. some parts were a bit frustrating, where there were chapters or sections that seemed to have nothing to do with particular book. i realize there might be something important to do with those characters later on down the line, but it seemed like sort of a JK Rowling thing to do (and that's not a good thing). three books later that person or thing will come in and you can practically hear the author crowing "SEE? SEE WHAT I DID THERE?" irritating. but i loved the stories. i'm not rabidly awaiting the second title, but when it comes along, i'll probably borrow it from the library and see if it keeps the great stories going.

“Just your average boy-meets-girl, girl-kills-people story...” that’s anything but average. Read my full review on Tor.com http://www.tor.com/blogs/2011/08/call...
I read the sample that Kindle sent me, about 2 chapters or so. I'm very pro-sahm too but jeez, she basically bashes working moms and degrades even the notion. Then she tells about how she worked during the night and woke up really early and did all this to, apparantly, never be away from her kids - ever. Except when she was traveling, working on book tours, etc. I don't know, I know I didn't read the whole thing so I shouldn't judge, but her condescending tone really irked me from the get go and she seemed extremely hypocritical and insensitive. Like I said, I'm pro-sahm too but if a mom wants to work, that's their choice and no one has the right to tell them otherwise. Dr. Laura should not feel the need to boost herself up by bringing others down, it's just not right!! The choice of staying at home is an individual choice and those that do stay at home shouldn't boast about it, but just be honored that you can do it and not judge those who don't make the same choices.
My second visit with Karin Slaughter's dyslexic GBI agent Will Trent, but his first outing in print was a true pleasure. I read the second book in this series first and I enjoyed learning more about this character in a book, which intentional makes it unclear at the outset who the main character is to be. The story is gripping and Ms. Slaughter is again able to tell us about repulsive crimes without repulsing us. Her writing is vivid and moving and never trite. I look forward treading more and more of her work.

Boy.... boy do I have mixed feelings about this book! So to break it down for you, I've made a list of the good, the bad, and the downright ugly! The good *Fanboy is a likable character for the most part. I really enjoyed how real he was in terms of being a teenager and the struggles he dealt with as such... like having a step-dad, dealing with a mom who is being irrational, and adults who won't listen to him. Often I feel like adults forget these things when they are dealing with kids. They seem to always forget how they felt as a teenager when they were mistreated, yet they do it over and over again as adults. I was particularly pissed off when his mom was making the convention seem like no big deal. As an adult, it angered me! I thought "To you, it might mean nothing but this is something REALLY important to your son and how dare you just dismiss it as if it's nothing!" Haha... I really can't stand it when adults dismiss kids (of any age) and their likes, dislikes, opinions, etc. *The writing - the writing was really interesting. Written sloppily at times but with eloquence other times. I enjoyed the contrast. It made the story seem more real. *Cal! Nuff said *The step-dad, Tony! I was really, really pleased how that all worked out *The popular, beautiful girl was surprisingly human and just as pissed off about things as he was. I totally dug that! The bad *It really ticked me off that Fanboy was always so mad at Cal for playing lacrosse. It really pissed me off because he was always bitching about how people picked on him for being him, but then he couldn't support his best friend simply because it was something he didn't like. There were actually other instances where this applied... I often thought "How can you be bitching about this but doing it yourself?" and yeah, I get it... teenager, that's how they are. But it still made me angry. I was really mad with how he treated Cal. He was constantly whining about not having any friends and then he treated his one friend like dirt. Well, no wonder Fanboy...no wonder. *Fanboy's mom. Ugh! She drove me nuts! She has the best son in the world - gets good grades, stays out of trouble, is smart... but she treats him like he's some sort of felon. The ugly *Kyra!! Good god!! I mean seriously, I'd say don't even get me started but this is a review, and so I have to get started. I'm not sure if this was a character, as a reader, we were supposed to think was strong, independent, and bad ass...but I thought she was annoying, desperate, and a downright nasty bitch (yeah, another instance of someone complaining about how people are and then being the exact same way). I really wanted Fanboy to ditch her. She is an awful friend. And I know I'm probably supposed to feel sorry for her for the trauma she's dealt with, but I don't. She can make a choice and she chose wrong, so I don't feel sorry for her. Because of how much I hated her, I will not be reading the sequel. I can't even imagine reading an entire book with her as the main character without wanting to claw my eyes out at every page. Every time she was around, I found myself getting so agitated. I don't know how he put up with her or even WANTED to be her friend! Seriously, ditch her dude, you'll be better off. Overall, there were times I liked the book and other times I wanted to light it on fire. I will not be reading the sequel because Kyra is not a character anyone should have to suffer reading about. I did, however, really enjoy the writing and the style of writing. The book is very humanized, which I really like. I like being able to read a book that I can say "This stuff actually really happens" and the teens in it were real. That was cool. My advice - you'll have to check it out for yourself. Some people loved it. Some people hated it. I'm somewhere right in the middle. But I must admit I am a bit disappointed. I really wanted to love this book.
Though I still the first one was definitely more fleshed out, more 3-D, the second two have done credit to JDG and her characters. They're still funny, adventurous, and unique. The characters are well-rounded and not too complicated (like, the dragons are very typical, just with singular hoards). The world is very big, and JDG tells the reader all he/she needs to know about this vast place as the story unfolds. In this one, Dragon Spear, I love Creel's dedication to her wonderful dress, though, since this is a fiction story, the reader can easily guess something will go wrong. And it does, but in ways the reader couldn't guess. There were a few points I wished JDG would've expanded on, like the rescue missions and sneaking around. She skipped over a lot of that, telling instead of showing in real time. It made it less stressful, and less eventful, and faster, and less interesting for a few of those, even if nothing did happen.
Paul Cartledge is a very good writer, and Alexander the Great is a fantastic subject, so you can't go wrong with this one. There are better biographies, I've been told.
C'est l'une de mes premières BD. On y suit les péripéties de Thorgal Aegirsson, enfant des étoiles, élevé par des Vikings du Nord. Des dessins magnifiques et un excellent scénario...

Astrid Bell, bicycle courier and one of six tenants in her friend's house is as horrified as anyone when a neighbour's body is discovered, especially as that same day Astrid had had an accident with the neighbour's car door. What a coincidence. When, a few days later, Astrid arrives at a house to collect a parcel and finds the woman owner dead, it's still just a nasty coincidence, right? Or is Astrid the link in the two murders? As if this isn't enough, Miles, the owner of the house Astrid lives in has given his six tenants notice to quit and with his girlfriend Leah causing more strife between the friends it's no wonder that tensions and feeling are running very high. So when Leah is found dead - by Astrid, once again collecting a parcel - it's not surprising that the housemates are running scared and wondering just what it going on. Is one of them a murderer and how come Astrid is the one connection to all the murders? Or is she.........? I really enjoyed this, it was written particularly well, at first from Astrid's point of view. She gives us a first person account from the time of her accident to the discovery of Leah, by which time I was questionning if she was as innocent as it appeared at the same time as going over in my head if the other flatmates were in any way suspicious. As the housemates lives disintegrate into chaos, so the readers mind is wondering who it is and there really isn't very much given away. The second part is written by the murderer, another first person voice telling us how and why they have done what they have. A chilling account where we see another side to this person, a psychopath who thinks they are just normal and it's not really their fault, who has things planned down to the last detail....or so they think! A very gripping story set in a scenario where you can easily imagine this could happen. Some amusing parts and some that make you shiver and wonder.
