Venk Redde venkredde — This is a borderline thriller in my opinion, not your typical travel writing. I expected an exaggerated account of the frivolous escapades of two college grads in newly opened China. Though it definitely had the frivolous escapades, I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of the culture, scenery and characters. From the first two chapters, you get a feeling there is something strange going on but don't fully understand the gravity of the situation until the last 20 pages or so. The book is a page-turner but slightly haunting. After Gillman’s extreme independent traveling experience in China, I am glad she has the gumption continue traveling the world; I don’t know that I would have.

Jesse Kinsman _3444 — Edited to add: FYI, Forsaken is the title of The Demon Trapper's Daughter in the UK. They are one and the same. So maybe this is a sign that I'm getting indecisive in my old age, but I'm having a hard time making up my mind about The Demon Trapper's Daughter. Don't get me wrong, I was enough of a fan that I'll definitely pick up book #2 when it comes out in the fall. This first book has a lot going for it--namely a spunky yet relatable heroine (Riley) with clear goals in life (voila, instant plot), as well as lots of drama and a good dose of bad luck. There are plenty of interesting guys, including a caring father, a long-time best-friend-who-might-want-to-be-more (Peter), and 3 (yes, three)good looking guys who think she's hot stuff. Hunky hero #1 (Beck) comes with a dark and secretive past and a parent complex, hunky hero #2 (Simon) supplies the goody-two-shoes persona and golden boy charisma, and hunky hero #3 (Ori) is our tall dark & hansome Mr. Mysterious. The demons she hunts provide both adventure and a bit of humor here and there. DTD truely is a good story, so why wasn't I in love after finishing it? Well, for one I wasn't a big fan of Riley's internal monologue. Here she is, this strong young woman who is mature beyond her years, both because that's just who she is and because of the hard knocks life's dealt her. And yet her internal monologue sounds like a 12-year-old's. Example: "What is it with these people? Do they, like, give them happy pills or something?" I don't know, but I get this feeling that YA authors think they have to use young and hip language in order for their teenage characters to feel authentic. I obviously shouldn't be commenting on the topic (did you note my opening comment?), but I can assure you that EVEN at that age I NEVER thought or talked like that. Sure, some girls did, but they weren't the kind of girls I hung out with...or want to read books about. Second, Ms. Oliver needs to hire a new editor. OK, I'm overly anal, but the missing commas, lost periods, and incorrect pronouns (Riley became a "him" at least once) really detracted from the story. That said, I will still recommend TDTD to my YA urban fantasy-loving friends :) ~ 4.5.11: So I felt the need to update my DTD review. After I read the book, I wasn’t convinced that the book was wonderfully awesome. Good? Yes. Awesome? Hmm, maybe. But now? Time to upgrade to “awesome!”. Why the change of heart? Well, since I read a lot, I have a tendency to forget details of previous books after I start a new one. (Dude, I can only have so many characters in my head at the same time!) I’ve read 6 books (8 if you count the two I’m currently reading) since finishing DTD and I STILL can’t get Riley out of my head. Nuff said.

Sean Chua seanclone — there were a lot of threads that i wished had been introduced earlier, but all in all this was a good ending with a lot of excitement and good closure. ===== wasn't as exciting as the second one, but i loved an awful lot of it and can't stop thinking about it anyway.

Carla Guzmán carlaguzma289f — Really funny essays about being human in all sorts of places and ways, particularly Tokyo with advice on being engulfed in flames.

App Bullz appbullzz — Who knew that an apologetic book could be this good? This book helped me a lot by a). systematically going through the precepts and misconceptions about Christianity and b). talking about Christ in a way that is alive. I dogearred the part about humility. I have never heard the process of becoming a Christian explained so well. I love Tim Keller. One thing I really appreciated about this book is that the author talked about the reasoning behind his faith without putting people who disagree down. He didn't say, "Everyone who believes in evolution is stupid," but rather, "Here are some misconceptions about evolution and Christianity." This book felt like a safe place to both doubt and strengthen my faith.
