i love her voice. she is a great writer. and the research she did for this project was amazing. the first part of this book, which deals with the lincoln assassination, is fantastic. it falls off a little after that.

I enjoy these military tactical sci-fi novels. Some people say that "Ender's Game" is the only novel in the Ender series worth reading, but I completely disagree. I found this book riveting.
I discovered Raymond Carver about a decade ago and have borrowed some of his books from libraries. I recently purchased four of his books. I love his style of writing... the short stories, poems etc. The short story, "Where I'm Calling From" is one of my all time favorites. I think that I am going to make it a habit to read a Carver story or poem every day.
Good stuff so far, yet to read the chapter from the Wire copy.

A dark part in French History that should not be forgotten. I enjoyed and didn't want it to end.

an interesting book to read in light of the recent tragedy at virginia tech. i found the perspective of the shooter and his family very eye opening... certainly makes the reader more aware of the complex issues of school shootings!

Parker Fadley is amusing, witty and a complete bitch. Oh Parker. If only you handled your stupid mistakes in a more bearable way. If only you weren't such an arse. Unfortunately you were. Tut tut. Sounds bad, I know. She used to be the cheerleading captain; she had a great boyfriend and got great grades, but after the party she just lost it. That's what everyone assumes anyway. She's quit the team, dumped her boyfriend and her grades started to slip. She has been a train wreck ever since. The thing is that her ex boyfriend Chris is still in love with her, Becky who has waited for this moment has gladly stepped in and taken her place as cheerleader captain and new boy Jake won't leave her alone. And that's all she wants. To be left alone. She doesn't deserve happiness, she doesn't deserve comfort or friends, not after what she did. As I read along I grew to dislike Parker more and more. I understood how she felt and when I found out the truth in all retrospect I was furious at her. I was fuming because I couldn't believe that she had let it come to this point. But Parker is smart and she's a great lier. In fact she can wrap just about anyone around her little finger and that's exactly what she's doing. Pushing everyone away. She does this by being as mean and nasty as possible and it only made me dislike her even more. For some reason it was her attitude towards Evan that bugged me the most. Him being as broken as he already was, and then her only hurting him more was tough to watch. When I think about CRACKED UP TO BE I know it's a great book, fantastic even. There's no doubt about that whatsoever. It's when you read books like SOME GIRLS ARE and CRACKED UP TO BE that flow so effortlessly and keep your heart thumping that you know just how wonderful books can be. But there is just something about Parker that bugs me that I can't shake off. I disliked her more than Regina and I'm not exactly sure why. I didn't sympathise with her but thought her extremely fickle and selfish. It seemed to be all about her. How she didn't deserve this and that. It kind of felt like, do you even care about what happened to her anymore? It's like she had let this grief darken her for so long she kind of forgot why or how she had got to this place. Yet dammit she had this wit, this snark that you couldn't help but admire. the way she effortlessly and cleverly pushed people away that often had me quite amused. I am so mixed up on this girl it's not even funny. I think what also bothered me is how fickle they all were. Chris, Becky, Jake and our very own Parker are all about being popular. It's so pathetic and I'm fully aware that if it were not for what happened to her she would have still been the controlling popular girl she once was. Am I supposed to be okay with that? I don't know what we're expected to think of Parker. Feel sorry for her, that she got absolutely pissed and fucked everything up. She should feel guilty and shitty, but either she should get the hell over or stop making everyone's else's life hell. I think my problem with Parker is that I found not one thing redeemable about her. Nothing to hold on to and give her a second chance. Yet. In true Summers charm I am left with a character that I couldn't stand but a book, that ultimately, I LOVED. This should have easily received four stars, but every time I think of Parker, and heck every single other character in this book, it holds me back. And for that reason, unfortunately, I have to knock it down one. Shame.

After reading the first book I wasn’t planning on reading torment, however it was brought as a late Christmas present by someone and I felt compelled to read it. Surprisingly it was much better than Fallen, Luce still annoyed me but at times I had to agree with her. Most of my review will sound like I’m moaning, but the book is generally a good read there are just details I really wanted to know but I predict they will come out in the next book. In this book Luce is taken to Shoreline a school for Nephilium (any one with an angel in there family tree) as she needs protection from creatures that want to hurt her and tip the balance of power. At the school she learns a little more about her past live and families she left behind and the world of angels. During most of the book Daniel and Luce aren’t together as he is trying to protect and stop the creatures coming after her. In order to do this he called a truce with Cam that last 18 days. Daniel’s and Luce’s relationship is quite annoying in this book (not that is wasn’t in the last one) but now there an actual couple however they’re rarely together. According to the truce Daniel can’t see Luce in order to keep her safe but he can’t stay away for long so he visits her several times during the book for short periods. Most the meeting start with them kissing none stop and then flying but end in a with them fighting. I didn’t know what to think of the fighting on one side it made there relationship more real because relationships aren’t always lovey dovey and I was on Luce’s side in most the argument. I mean you can’t order her about and not tell her why. Also he won’t tell her anything about there past he’s basically trying to keep her prisoner in the school. But on the other side I was like its obvious he loves you, stop complaining about everything he says he protecting you so trust him, you keep wishing for more time with him so why fight with him. I found that Luce complained a lot in the book which I didn’t like but I found myself agreeing with her, she wasn’t getting told anything and she was sick of people getting hurt for her and not knowing why. As a reader at times like this I couldn’t help but agree with her I wanted to know as well, what the big secrets were. I liked having something in common with Luce and she easier to connect with in this book but I would have rather known more of the secrets. As Luce is being kept with Nephilium she gets to learn more about announcers or shadows which lead her to questioning everything about her life and her relationship with Daniel as she wonders why she is being punished and made to spend eternity dieing. And why her past families are being punished as well with having to watch a daughter die. And if she could have a normal life (no dieing, kids, marriage) without Daniel as he seems to have brought all this on her. Luce changes her mind repeatedly about Daniel as he won’t tell her anything yet she feels like there meant to be together. There is also Miles a new character in this book who likes her and is always around to comfort her and talk to when ever she needs.
This has SPOILERS, so don't read if don't want to know how it ends. This book sounded so good! I found it through a site that promoted clean Regency romance novels. How it got on there, I don't know. Well...It's about a woman that travels through a wormhole to 1817. She falls in love with Richard, she falls back through her wormhole accidentally. 4 months later Richard shows up, and they end up together. He went through the same wormhole, and ends up being the lost heir of a duke that has been "waiting" for him to show up. He adapts incredibly quickly (receiving emails, etc) and finds his way to being the math chair at Cambridge. Really? All in all, it could have been a good book, but just glossed over too many details, and the characters could only think of getting each others clothes off. Needless to say, I skipped some things. Don't waste your time.

Couldn't finish and have no hopes of doing so. The insights register just barely above trivial. Grabbed it after I read Orwell's Burmese Days - which I dug!
