high school kids like it more than most other plays
Wow, what did I think? Parts of this book made me literally laugh out loud, and parts had me on the edge of my seat. I found myself really caring about the characters. I liked David, John & Amy, and I was really rooting for Molly. But overall? It's in need of a good editor. Every time I thought we'd reached the climax of the story, it just continued on again. The pacing was just... off. Especially once we get to the Epilogue. It's like the author didn't know how to end the story – the Epilogue went on forEVer. Would I recommend it? Eh, yeah I guess so – I did enjoy it overall. Would I read it again? No. Would I look for the next book in the series? Probably not.

It's totally a chick book, but I LOVE this author. She also wrote Something Borrowed and Something Blue.
The sample of the ebook that I downloaded intrigued me enough to buy the book but after I got past the first chapters it became a little boring. At half way through there have been a lot of things going on with multiple strands to the story. We have met lots of different characters throughout who have interesting stories of their own each and relationships prior to the start of the book etc...however, something is just not quite clicking for me as I am not feeling much for any of the characters. I don't know whether it is because there is so much to explain that not enough time has been spent on any one character or whether it is just a complicated plot so the first half of the first book in the series is being used to lay out all the strands...but I can't say I am as engrossed as I feel I should be at this point and I am not feeling anything much for the characters like I should be...especially the potential love interests at this point (there are a few to choose from!). I do like the way we were not introduced to every character at the beginning and we are meeting new people and parts of the plot as it goes along. Plus it is not immediately obvious who the leading man/hero is - there is a choice of quite a few potential heros in the book. But without the depth to them that is needed to develop any emotions about them, they are all feeling quite flat at half way through although now that I have finished the book this does get better to some extent... There are many unanswered questions at the end with a resolution to the most immediate 'battle' but a complete cliff-hanger as to other areas. Despite some of the negatives, I still feel that I would continue to read the rest of the series. Its a shame as some parts of the book probably warrant a 4* or 5* but I cant say that I enjoyed it enough to give more than a 3*.
I read a lot of Steinbeck as a teenager: East of Eden, Of Mice and Men, The Grapes of Wrath, The Pearl, Cannery Row, and a collection of his short stories. I bought Travels with Charley when I was 18 and took it to work one day, intending to read it at lunch, but got teased so badly that I began to leave it at home and eventually to neglect. "What kind of sissy crap is that yer readin'?" I was asked. I had a blue-collar job. What I didn't realize was that I had casually tossed aside what is surely one of the greatest travel narratives of all time. Steinbeck, aging and in bad health (his daughter said later she believed he knew he was dying) gathers up his poodle, Charley, and a bunch of provisions (including many bottles of booze) and heads off in his truck in search of America, and what he finds both delights and frightens him. Steinbeck's descriptive prose is unmatched. Here's a master writer showing off every now and again, just to make you wow. He characterizes Montana as "a great splash of grandeur," talks about the lanscape "shouting color," and relays the "excited crackle" of a fire he builds. But those are mere samplings; he can go on for whole pages, molding topography until the ear hears poetry and the mind sees a portrait. There's also a lot of ironic commentary that, sadly, you don't find much any more. He says that he was told that driving around the country with his dog might cause suspicion and curiosity. "For this reason," Steinbeck writes, "I racked a shotgun, two rifles, and a couple of fishing rods in my truck, for it is my experience that if a man is going hunting or fishing his purpose is understood and even applauded" Like Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad, Travels with Charley: In Search of America is also a time-capsule, having been published in 1962. the same year he won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

i might have to read this book again. it's definitely a page-turner, or maybe i'm just easy--i do get caught up in a good plot and miss a lot of the language and literary tricks. when this first came out, an acquaintance read it and said he was really disappointed; i wasn't surprised since it seems many authors experience a 2nd-book slump. in any case, i thought this book was not as subtle as everything is illuminated, but it was quite moving, considering the subject, and beautiful in it's own way. the inclusion of graphics and images put me off at first--of course before i read it. they do serve to inform the book and give it a third dimension, a little like the people of paper,. for a post 9/11 book that deals directly with the topic, it's extremely sensitive; i think by telling the story as it pertains to one person--or, group of people--helped to create the necessary distance for such a horrendous event--at least for me, as a reader. i can't think of a big finish, here, so i'll say it was definitely worth the time and i'm looking forward to foer's next effort.

Because I try really hard not to reveal spoilers this is a very hard review to write. I have loved this series from the first chapter of the first book SOME GIRLS BITE. I love that Chloe has added in all these little hints that tell you of things to come and things to look forward to. This is definitely not a series that you can pick up at any book but book 1 so if you have not started the Chicagoland Vampires series yet I would highly recommend starting from the beginning. As all you fans know there was a HUGE devastating cliff hanger at the end of HARD BITTEN. Hopefully you didn't hold that against the series because DRINK DEEP totally makes up for the absence of Ethan. Will you miss him? Of Course. But the story still rocks. I found the pacing to be slower then previous installments but there is a lot of action and detective work mixed in to everything. We see a lot of Jonah and don't worry all you loyal Ethan fans it isn't bad as you might be thinking. I actually really enjoyed seeing Merit become closer friends with someone outside the house or someone in her normal circle. There were so many surprises and major things that happened in DRINK DEEP that I will end this review with, you really have to read it. All you people that said you were going to stop reading after HARD BITTEN will be extremely disappointing if you don't snag a copy.

I'm a baseball fan. I'm a Red Sox fan. I liked this book - it was fun to reminisce about "where I was when..." and, being a relatively new Sox fan, learn some history about the team. That said...if you are NOT a Sox fan (or a baseball fan, or a sports fan in general), you probably won't get much out of this book. It's written in a tandem diary style, full of play-by-plays and analysis(I especially enjoyed Stephen King's more poetic ramblings), equal parts upbeat and downtrodden. But there's no love story to go along with it (save that of some fans and their ballclub), no suspense about the outcome. So if following along as two guys live and breathe baseball for a year isn't your thing, you should look elsewhere.
Good but not great. Still, I'm looking forward to the sequel.

这本书一点都不有趣。 这是非常激动和悲伤的。 鼓来自书中角色扮演的鼓,女孩来自于他喜欢女孩的角色,危险馅饼来自于他们玩的游戏。
