Perfect PK Dick adaptation. Gave my mind a nice abrasive scrubbing.

This review was first posted on http://www.rubysreads.com. Warning: This review is a bit spoilery. Not for the end, but for certain facts which are not known at the beginning of the novel, but are learned shortly thereafter. Okay, confession time: There are two things that can clinch a book purchase for me: when there's a character named Ruby and when the heroine is 5'2". I tend to take these facts as signs that I'm meant to read the book I hold in my hands. Of course, characters named Ruby don't necessarily meet good ends. Take the Ruby in the Anne books. First she's a silly flirt and then she dies of consumption when she's, like, 19. Still, the Anne books are worth Ruby's death, IMHO. Since you can tell from the description that the heroine's name is not Ruby, you might have already guessed that she is a fabulous 5'2" I was sort of casually reading this book before I reached the physical description page. After that, I kept wanting to get back to it. The only problem is that the Kindle button is still absent from NetGalley and I had to read it on my computer, at home. I couldn't pick it up whenever I had a free moment. You'd be surprised how much reading you can get done during various pockets of time during the day. At any rate, I liked Willow, the heroine. I was excited by her interest in mechanics--though it's not something I share. I like heroines that have talents in stereotypically masculine areas. Willow's also something of an outsider in her town, but it doesn't bother her. She knows she's different and she's fine with it. She lives with her pack rat of an aunt and a mother that's basically catatonic. All of that changes when, one day she's approached by a fellow student who wants her to do a "reading". Willow, in addition to her talents with automobiles, is psychic. It's a talent that she uses to help people, and when she discovers that her classmate's fate is intertwined with a mysterious, malevolent figure, she doesn't hesitate to warn her. Willow's warning, however, sets off a string of events that put her life in danger. Willow's perspective of the story is told in the first person. Her narrative is broken by Alex's third person narrative. I'm not certain why Weatherly decided to do this, since it means that we don't get to know Alex as intimately as Willow. This story is both of theirs, and it's also the story of their romance. It's a classic star-crossed lovers situation. Alex is an angel killer. Willow is part angel. Despite an initial animosity between these two, they quickly fall in love. I found myself wondering why Weatherly forced their relationship forward at the speed she did. Especially given the fact that this is a trilogy. Willow and Alex have a time in which to develop their relationship--and as someone who enjoys a good slow-burn romance, I think it's too bad she didn't. I enjoyed this book. The writing is a bit clunky at times, especially during Jonah's parts. Willow and Alex get over their differences in a realistic way--they talk about stuff. But, while it's realistic, it's not particularly exciting. I like the idea of a twist on the usual idealized angel concept, and I'm interested in seeing how the rest of the story plays out.

This book was very in the head of the main character and dark. It was interesting but also hard because it was so dark and hopeless in some ways. It's 1984ish is some ways if that makes sense. The main character has a secret apartment that he will do anything to protect and as he starts to protect it things spiral out of his control. I really enjoyed it but isn't a book I can just read for light-hearted escapism.

3.5 stars. Quick and easy, but I felt like there were some subplots that were unnecessary. It does bring up some interesting questions. I'm not sure how I felt about the ending of the book...
great and hilarious, under-appreciated Vonnegut

Half a book and still twice as entertaining as anything I´ve read in the past few years. Having stumbled upon the songs of ice and fire recently I luckily avoided having to wait some 6 odd years for the second half of this fourth installment in the series but my heart goes out to all those patient fans who waited and waited. Telling the stories of half the characters (and not even the most interesting of characters at that) this installment offers up some amazing levels of intrigue. Martin gives a close look at the minds of the Lannisters and the court at Kings Landing after Tywins untimely death. Cersei becomes ever more hungry for power and unleashes one bad decision after another while Jaimes´ lack of a sword hand forces him to take a closer look at who he has become and who he wants to be. With sprinkles from Briennes´ search for Sansa, Dornes anger at the loss of prince Oberyn and Sansas stay with treacherous Petyr Littlefinger A feast for Crows should leave everyone hungering for more.

this book has been the basis of years of entertainment for me and my creatively-inclined friends.
I don't want to read any reviews of this book because it will just cloud my vision. This novel made me weep big fat tears in a totally not ironic way. I read it in one big gulp from 5:30 pm in my car on Dominguez and just finished it now and I loved every goddamn bit of it. And anyone who doesn't is dumb or heartless.
Really creative novel, but it took me FOREVER to get through. I think I just don't have the imagination to just "go with it" and I had to keep rereading things because I thought I missed something. Definitely not the type of novel I normally read, but I think that was a good thing - stretched my imagination a bit.
