I got this book via Karen and I need to say, just wow. It is a sweet read about a topic that could have been grim and depressing. There are many references to Mr. Darcy and while the love story line of the book was predictable, the story of the occupation of the Isle of Guernsey was thoughtful, compelling and an aspect of WWII that I now want to know more about. Well done!

Jack Sweettooth is a collection of three short stories of a mouse, Jackson Winstanley Sweettooth the seventy-third. Jack is the pet mouse of Matthew Bailey, who loves his pet, although his feelings aren’t the same as Mrs Bailey, who initially likes to blame Jack for things that go wrong in the house, losing jewellery, eating birthday cake and so on. She soon changes her mind when he finds her lost ruby (the focus of the first story). Jack then has further adventures when he is threatened with becoming lunch by the next door neighbour’s cat, and then finds love with Matthew’s friend’s mouse. All three stories are nice and short with excellent illustrations of the main plot points of the book. Throughout the first story there are also numerous illustrations of the time on a clock face, so some added educational material! There is something for both boys and girls to enjoy, the peril of Jack against the cat, and Jacks eventual marriage to Blossom. The print is large and well spaced so easy for all levels of readers to engage, and there are some challenging words to, some of which are explained within the story itself. Overall, an easy, accessible book and a quick read with adventure, love and redemption, all in a days work for a pet mouse!

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I believe what I learned from this book will actually stay with me. This book has inspired me to want to read up on Anne Boleyn, Thomas Cromwell and of course, Elizabeth I.

My heart raced all the way through! I loved reading about what happened behind the scenes before, during, and after Woodward and Bernstein broke Watergate. The book allows the reader to fully understand the two unique characters and how their gifts brought the government to its knees.

Well... I was expecting to be as blown away as everyone else after reading this. However, I found it to be a sappy bore. Sure...I'm not an overly cynical guy, but I'd be lying if I said I got much from this book.

The Crimson Petal and the White is a period drama set in Victorian London. The book follows a young prostitute called Sugar who catches the eye of a young gentleman who becomes a captain of industry as the head of Rackham Perfumeries. Sugar shares in the rise of his social fortunes and is transported from the whorehouse first to a 'love nest' in Notting Hill and finally into the Rackham household itself. In a superficial sort of way you could almost consider this tale a Victorian version of 'Pretty Woman'...although it is much more than that. Apparently the author researched this book for 20 years, and this labour of love has certainly paid off in the richly described historical backdrop to this book. It is set in a very socially interesting time: the industrial revolution is getting into gear and Darwin has just published his Origin of Species. It seems that the whole of society is undergoing a period of transition, as the dawn of the 20th century approaches. There are an exciting mix of characters in this book, and they are given plenty of scope to grow. William Rackham begins as a foolish, lazy dandy until his desperate desire to be able to afford exclusive rights to Sugar turn him into a diligent business man. Sugar herself starts as a man-hating cynical whore who wants to take Rackham for everything she can get, and throughout the novel becomes more refined, more grown-up, and it seems at times she's actually in love with William. It's interesting to watch the balance of power between Sugar and William as it changes back and forth throughout. There is also Agnes Rackham, Williams demented wife, whos insanity and Williams efforts to keep it hidden are reminiscent of Jane Eyre (which even Faber admits to in the book itself) and make an exciting subplot. What I disliked about this book was that ultimately I didn't fully believe in the main characters motivations, or some of their actions. William apparently is transformed into a successful businessman overnight by his need for money to finance his relationship with Sugar, yet when he becomes successful he virtually ignores her. Sugar starts out as a hardened cynic studying her prey to make sure she gets the most out of him, and ends on a much weaker note where she apparently loves William, is desperate for his approval, and harbours delusions of their becoming a family - something surely no intelligent woman in her position would believe possible. I was also a little put off by some of the writing style. At the start of the book the narrator addresses the reader directly, and leads you through the opening chapters as though you are some sort of voyeur tourist. Thankfully this odd narrative device is dropped a few chapters in and only makes an appearance again at the very end. Without giving away any spoilers I must say that the ending itself left me feeling vaguely dissapointed and unsatisfied. Overall this is an excellent book and I would recommend it. At 800 pages long it might seem like a daunting length but the story is well paced and doesn't feel too long at all. Lovers of charming period pieces though beware: some elements are not for the faint-hearted or the easily offended.
This book follows suit with the other paranormal romance stories that are popular right now. I was sucked in and couldn't put it down, but wished for a little more plot. The romantic tensions were enough to keep me reading, but in the end I wondered what really happened over the course of all those pages. Everything happened in the last few chapters and then it ended! Argghh! I hate when authors do that. But I guess that just means they've sucked me in and I have fallen to their tricks by putting the next book on hold at my local library as soon as I finished this one. I think I find myself to read books like the character Jess in the story. I read them for fun and for an escape. I don't get anything profound out of these books, but that's the sci-fi/fantasy genre for you. And I love it!
This book should be required reading in high school. I finally get it. The rich always want to get richer at the expense of the poor. The object of the game is always control. If you want certain rights or freedom you always have to fight for them because they are not going to give them out of the goodness of their hearts. And that is history in a nut shell.

Hmpf. I really really don't like the path this book took! I mean, I fell in love with the tv series and the books are SO FAR OFF!! At least I hope they're so far off, especially this book! I didn't like the lack of Elena AND Stefan AND ESPECIALLY Damon. They were in it, but not nearly enough for my taste. And what was the little blurb at the end about Matt?! Ugh! Now I HAVE to continue! I was going to stop here. DAMN YOU MY WEIRD NEED TO FINISH A SERIES EVEN IF I HATE IT!!!!

The Goddess Test no es el libro mejor escrito: el autor tiende a ser muy repetitivo, y muchas de las conclusiones realmente no tienen sentido para mí. Pero no pude dejar este libro, y eso es muy raro para mí en estos días. Sobre todo, a pesar de algunas molestias, realmente me gustó mucho este libro.
