This book just didn't do it for me, it dragged on and didn't really interest me. Maybe because it was a school novel? I liked the scenery and the characters were nice but not for me.

I loved this book. I thought that it was very well written and very interesting. It opened new worlds for me.

Not recommended for ex-smokers, this made me miss cigarettes. This is told first person from the monster’s perspective until the very end where it switches. Its a strange thing to read because you want to sympathize with the narrator yet he’s a monster, but then he also finds himself disgusting, but then he keeps doing monstrous things. I found it intriguing and fairly well written (except for the overuse of my least favorite word for female genitalia) until the very end. The last couple of chapters switch viewpoint, and without getting too spoiler-y, let me just say that I think that was a bit of cop out on the author’s part.
This is a witty and funny blog book about being single. Sadly, it made all too much sense to me.

Couldn't stop reading it. I think I missed half of the Moroccan landscape around me because I had my face glued to the pages.

This is a really heart-warming and sad story at the same time. It taught me a lot of things from the revolution. 5/5 stars.

I tried to read this when it first came out and for some reason it just didn't click but this time I tore right through it. The plot is very good, not brilliant but certainly moves the story along at a nice clip. It's the descriptions of India that are extraordinary, mouthwatering even (mmm, the food: I am totally having puri, chapatis and curry this week); mostly the imagery is delicious, but when she wants to gross you out, the author is also vurrry good at that. Laurie King is very insightful. For instance, she describes one of those epic Indian feasts you see in movies like Indiana Jones, but she makes it clear that the host of this particular feast is using all this food (much of it disgusting) to put himself subtly in a position of power over his Western guests. It's fascinating passive-aggressive behavior; and it seems so obvious once she points it out. Also, as in all the books in this series, she creates a perfect wife for Sherlock Holmes — and I'm not normally enthusiastic about "fan fiction," even at high literary levels. King is the only author who really writes enjoyable post-Conan Doyle stories with Holmes. And his young bride, in this series, has so many interesting contrary views to those of her husband; she is his conscience, his feminine side, without being a bore about it. This is a totally great book. I don't know how men would like it, but as a female fan of Holmes, I highly recommend it.
It’s hard to review The Reading Promise by Alice Ozma without gushing a little. To be fair, I am really the perfect audience for this book. As a life-long obsessive reader, I recognized many of the books that Alice and her father read together, which gave me frequent moments of happy nostalgia. Also, I come from a family where reading together was a common occurrence. I have fond memories of my sisters and I curled up on the couch listening to my mom read to us way into my high year years. And since I was so much older than my younger sisters (there is an age gap of 5-9 years between us), I spent a lot of time reading to them. I read the Dr. Seuss ABC book to my youngest sister, Lynne, so many times that I can still recite most of the little poems he wrote for each individual letter from memory – all the way from “Big A, Little A, What begins with A? Aunt Annie’s Alligator. A. A. A” to “Big Z, Little Z. What begins with Z? I do. I am Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz as you can plainly see.” And then there was the infamous incident involving Edgar Allen Poe’s The Tell Tale Heart, a stormy evening and a door that I was able to unobtrusively nudge into creaking at a particularly suspenseful time in the story…. And so, this book couldn’t have appealed more to me if the author had written specifically for me. Having said that, I found The Reading Promise charming above and beyond the nostalgia it evoked. It isn’t just a bibliophile’s celebration of their favorite childhood books. It is the story of a father and daughter who made a commitment to each other – to read together every day for 1,000 days. It’s a story about how it is vital and possible to prioritize and make time for the things that are important to us. It’s a story about how books can help us connect to each other. It’s a story about a single father using books to help him navigate a young girl’s life. It’s a story about a love of books, a love of family and of the vital importance of taking time to experience and appreciate both.
This book help show the beauty of the country. Kerouac describes in great detail his adventures across the United States, which has awakened in me a yearning to follow in his steps. What I would give to have been with him and Cassady in those days.

OK, I admit it, I read the FBI series. Usually they're ok as "escape" reading. Lately though, I am wondering if Coulter has just been phoning them in. The more recent books, this one included, are not nearly as good as the first two or three in the series. After reading this one, my initial reaction was "Really?! That's several hours of my life I won't get back." Psychic Savage?! C'mon. The premise of the family history of the killer in this one is just too ridiculous to take seriously, even for an "escape" book. I hate to leave a series unfinished, but I don't know if I can continue with this one-- unless the writing gets a lot better with the next one. If you want to try Coulter's FBI series, try The Maze, Target or The Cove instead.
