I kept seeing good things and/or controversy about Prince of Thorns everywhere I looked, and everyone loves controversy. I decided to take the arc along with me to Worldcon in Reno, with the intention or reading it by the pool (I am still not comfortable taking an expensive eReader poolside). Boy, am I glad I did. Prince of Thorns had me by the balls in the first chapter. I found myself stealing time to read just a page here and a page there, and whenever a rare block of time opened, I commandeered it in the name of PoT. Read the whole book in less than a week. This used to be nothing, I would read two books a week in high school and college, but these days even a standard 300pp paperback can take me weeks to finish. Too much to do. If I’m reading 50+ pages a day, that is a damn good book. I was immediately pulled into Prince Jorg’s sociopathic little world, fascinated by the flashbacks of his past that hinted at how he became the amoral monster he was. Lawrence’s writing is a wonderful mix of vivid metaphor and tight, economical prose. There are no wasted words, each is beautifully chosen. His world, too, is a wonderful blend of medieval and post-apocalyptic fantasy. Jorg’s interactions with his teachers, foes, mercenary brothers and royal family are fabulously done. After seeing mixed reviews and controversy, I expected PoT to be a lot more violent and disturbing than it actually was. I guess that shouldn’t surprise me. I think my own books are fairly tame compared to what goes on in the really real world, and yet there are plenty of reviewers who would have you think they are one long rape scene. Fool me once, reviewers, shame on you. Fool me twice… Don’t get me wrong. Lawrence’s Prince Jorg is one delightfully twisted little bastard. But you may find yourself having a little sympathy as you get to know him. Blink, and you might even find yourself rooting for him to succeed.

his style is fun initially. PROS:I love the pop music references and analysis, whether or not I agreed always with his taste. CONS: the book becomes more about his failed relationships than about the late musicians whose trails he is supposed to be exploring. I'd have loved more in-depth looks at several musicians; he sort of goes as a tourist and learns nothing from visiting the sites of these tragic musician deaths. He had the space to do a little better. Instead, it glosses over a bit too much for me. Still, he is funny and generally quite likeable.

Prompted by the return of Harry Potter, I am slowly rediscovering the Young Adult section of the Boston Public Library, where I picked AWIT up the other day. I think I read this as a child, but I thought I'd revisit. Straight up plusses and minuses: + Socially awkward, unattractive, impetuous young female protagonist. + Positive depictions of misfits and weirdos and differentness in general. + Phenomenal descriptions of extraterrestrial life and dimensionality. + Ability to make science fiction seem cool. - Fleeting but obvious references to God and Him. - Any time that Mrs. Which speaks - "Nno Mmegg, yyou knnoww thatt itt iss nnott tthee attmosspheeere. Yyou mmusstt bee brrave." - uh, text more suited for reading aloud or a film adaptation. Grating. All in all, just a delightfully wacky, off-kilter book with delightfully wacky, off-kilter characters. United, at the end, by love. The Phantom Tollbooth is next on my list.

Cấp Tốc Chinh Phục Đề Thi Trắc Nghiệm Môn Tiếng Anh Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: The Windy

19-year old Ed Kennedy is an underage cab driver who is in love with his best friend (she doesn’t love him back) and living a dead-end life when he unwittingly becomes a hero by thwarting a hilariously incompetent bank robbery. Soon afterward, Ed begins receiving playing cards with names written on them – names of people he is supposed to help, save, or otherwise deal with. I picked up I Am the Messenger because I wanted to read more by Markus Zusak after sobbing my way through the heart-stomping cryfest that is The Book Thief (read it. today.). Story aside, I really enjoyed Zusak’s style of writing and I was hoping for more of the same with Messenger. For the most part, I was not disappointed. Ed is an extremely likeable narrator – he’s a lollygagging screw-up with a crap ass job, equally lollygagging screw-ups for friends, and few prospects to improve his lot in life. What makes Ed so endearing is that he realizes that he’s basically a huge loser; at one point he compares himself (extremely unfavorably) to Bob Dylan, Salvador Dali and Joan of Arc when they were 19. His self-awareness of his unremarkable life and total lack of ambition leads to a lot of self-deprecating humor, which is a trait that I find irresistible in both real and fictional people. Almost more likeable than Ed, though, are the supporting cast of characters. Even the ones who appear only briefly make a lasting impression. First of all, The Doorman completely stole my heart. The Doorman is Ed’s smelly 17-year old dog and closest confidante. Ed carries on conversations with The Doorman over coffee (which they both drink) and bounces ideas off of him as he tries to unravel the mystery of who is sending him the playing cards. I have a weakness for dogs (seriously, authors, if you want me to set your book on fire go ahead and kill a dog) and The Doorman was such an awesome friend to Ed that I found him extra irresistible. I won’t give away who Daryl & Keith are, but they were incredibly funny. Milla brought a tear to my eye several times. Zusak sets up some really amazing scenarios. Even Ed’s shrew of a mother (and she is most def a shrew) is endearing in her own horrible, shrill way. Many of Ed’s assignments are of the heartwarming variety, helping people who are lonely, lack self-confidence, or are damaged in some way. Some of them are quite distressing as well, though, and it adds tension to the story. I actually found it a little jarring to read Ed’s struggles with some of the more difficult assignments, because I grew attached to him early on and some of them were truly unpleasant and dangerous. Then I came to the end, and I’m not going to lie…when I read the final chapter, this is pretty close to my initial response: [image error] I literally sat there, stunned. I spent the entire book trying to figure out who was sending those damn cards, and I never even came close to getting it right. I felt…I don’t know, cheated? I decided to give it a few days before I wrote this review because I wanted to think about it for a while, and I’m glad I did. The more thought I’ve given it, the more I’ve warmed up to it. I like that I didn’t see the end coming, and I like that it went in a direction I wasn’t expecting. Recommended.

I am glad I read the first book in the series before I discovered this. This short story is good for what it is. I found it to be entertaining and lighthearted, but not as satisfying as the novels. Ms. Johnson tells a much stronger story when she has the word count to flesh out the characters. However, it was a nice introduction and I was not too disappointed in it.

Reason for Reading: next in the series. Book One left us with four tech savvy teens being imprisoned and interrogated about a major computer hacker's crime. None of the teens were talking, as planned, leaving the talking up to Adam Henderson, their leader. Book Two continues on with that interrogation bringing in the name of the world's most infamous computer hacker, Shantorian. Whom no one has ever seen or knows anything about except that he always leaves his "weird eyed kid" signature behind him 0_o . I'll reveal nothing else about the plot as all questions will be answered and many surprises are in store for everyone involved. Shantorian is unique for a second book in a series as it wraps up a storyline started in book one leaving only the barest thread to continue on into the next book. I had assumed this was going to be a trilogy (aren't they all?) but I'm more inclined to think this will be a multi book series or at possibly an ongoing series in the same vein as an adult crime series. Time will tell as I can't find a release date for book 3 as of this time. I really enjoy the reading/video experience very much. Carman has come up with something totally unique. The videos are short, which I think is important or they would take away from the book. But they are just enough of a visual experience to really get you excited about the characters, the case, and the crime itself. Very well done, and I look forward to the book 3.

I can't believe a man wrote this book, from a woman's perspective! I couldn't believe he would know what all those situations felt like from a woman's point of view. A great beach read.
