I tried to read another book by the same author and didn't like it. I enjoyed this book, though. The writing was hauntingly descriptive. The ending was overwhelmingly powerful. The main character, Lena, discovers just how important - and painful - love can be. How deep love must be for you to sacrifice everything for the one you truly love. When love is remoed from people's lives, they only exist, they do not flourish.

its a classic work, that's for sure ...set in the 1920's, during the rise of feminism might I add - Fitzgerald's female characters should have been affected by that movement in some way...Daisy's the uneducated, gold-digging, shallow wife who has little or no depth to her existence, to the point that its annoying reading about her. (honestly) on the whole, its interesting to read about society in the 1920's, and the associated beliefs, values and dreams of Americans at that time. Its pretty much all about the American Dream of money, wealth, prosperity and the happiness that supposedly came with the booming economy and get-rich-quick schemes that formed the underworld of American upper-class society.

This book was kinda sad, really. It had potential, and I get that it was supposed to be cartoonish, but the heroine's patheticness (I know that's not a word, but I don't care)was just sad and unnecessary. Also, I eagerly await the day angsty "romantic" love-triangles go out of fashion. Just have them all shag each other already! Sigh. I really like Jill Myles' blog posts and think she's a funny lady with a twisted sense of humor. Hopefully she'll get better in time.
Though not yet of reading age, my son has several of the Hardy Boys books on his shelf, and I wanted to check them out and form an opinion about them. Having now read this first book of the series, I find myself concerned, but keep wondering if I need to lighten up a bit. My concerns stem largely from the way the characters related to one another, which I found to be somewhat disturbing. The Hardy boys, their friends and their family are all perfection and sentimentality -- can't slap each other on the back enough. Oppositely, characters in contest with the Hardy boys are treated with contempt -- can't laugh at them behind their backs enough. It may be the nature of this genre to have one-dimensional characters, since the characters are almost incidental to the mystery and action, but I guess I prefer heroes with tragic flaws and arch-enemies that can be redeemed, since these are more akin to reality. It is for the mystery and action that I give this book its two stars, since the mystery did hold my interest.
My grandfather is a kick-ass poet. Also, there is a poem about me in this one. I win.
Lovely and dainty...profound and challenging...the dalliance of the tongues of the Typhon threatening Apollonian hegemony.

Main characters: 4/5 I like how Eve was kind of a goody two shoes and a little unlikeable at times to be honest. Having a character that is unlikeable might alienate them to some, but I think it can also humanize them. For a girl who is described as beautiful, intelligent and kind, it was nice for her problems to be drawn out early. Compared to Arden, she was whiny, unequipped for the outside world, and was a bit of a brown-noser. Eve gained some confidence and hardness in this new world which was a nice development. Secondary characters: 3/5 Caleb was physically different than a lot of love interests: he has dreadlocks which I've never encountered before. I liked Caleb, but ultimately he was bland and didn't stand out. There was nothing special about him. Arden was a perfect foil to Eve: prickly, hardened and didn't care what others thought. The interactions between them brought out the best and the worst of both. However, besides Arden, most of the minor characters were one-sided, or developed entirely around a flaw. Others had odd moments where their actions didn't reflect their characterization. Writing style: 2.5/5 I wish there were more time between the intro and the reveal of the big secret. I wanted to be immersed more into the world building of the "utopia" that Eve thought she was living in before that was ruined and the dystopia was really revealed. Carey's writing style was fast paced with effective descriptions, however it lacked a bit of grace in some parts. The language was basic and utilitarian. Ultimately, the pacing felt a little rushed in some parts where I encountered problem after problem for Eve and I just wanted a deep breath. Plot: 3.5/5 There wasn't a whole lot of originality to the plot which was a little disappointing. I feel like there are so many dystopians out there that there needs to be an ounce of originality and uniqueness to some aspect of the book to make it stand out from the rest. The plot was very similar to The Handmaid's Tale. However, this aside, the rest of the plot was mediocre. It almost seemed like it lacked direction and there were some parts that I didn't understand. Ending: 2.5/5 The ending was not quite a cliffhanger but there was definitely a twist. Obviously as a reader I was a little frustrated but it was effective in making me want to read the next book. Best scene: When Eve and Caleb first met Reminded Me Of: The Handmaid's Tale Positives: Making a flawed character engaging, Caleb's unusual look, the writing pace (mostly) Negatives: Too quick transitions at beginning, unoriginal plot, flat secondary characters, ending Cover: The range of colors is beautiful, and I love the imagery. The font is beautiful but not my favorite. Verdict: An unoriginal addition to the YA dystopian genre that was still a fun read. Rating: 6.2/10 (3 stars)

ok..giving this 4 stars because it was a good read and hard to put down. It all started right off the bat and there weren't ever any dull moments really. Something was always happening. However it was a very disturbing book. They were all soooooo young! Hearing about 11 year olds with guns and babies dying was really really hard for me to bear. I undertsand that bullies are going to pop up in a situation with no adults...but for it to get so violent was very uncomfortable for me. All in all it was different than I expected. A lot creepier and way more violent, but a super fast read and I am going to have to read the next ones to find out what happens!
I love Talmage's writing style. Even approaching a Gospel topic, he writes in a way that is very scholarly and academic. It is a style that I appreciate, because it is a style quite similar to the way I write. The content in the book was absolutely amazing, given that it deals not only with the Savior's mortal ministry, but his pre-mortal role and his role in the Restoration. It's a "must-read" for any Latter-day Saint.
Este es un recuento de la historia de Rumpelstiltskin ambientada en un molino británico en el siglo XIX. Así que combina algunas de mis cosas favoritas: heroína fuerte, escenario histórico, interés en la ropa y cuentos de hadas. La configuración es extremadamente realista; Obviamente, el autor investigó mucho sobre cómo funcionaban los molinos y la maquinaria. También me encantó la representación de la heroína, tratando de dirigir un negocio y cuidar a su familia.
