Jesse Cervantes jessecervantes — Shadowland is all about love, hatered, anger and lots more emotions. Her hearts breaks when Damen says her can no longer be with Ever because of the one person who has also been there in every life. He says wait and see what she feels for him then choose. But during this time she has to face one of her hardest challenges yet. Her friend or her soul mate. I love the way Alyson Noel always is able to to make it more exciting each page. She always have little bumps but then there is always is a huge decision for her to make. But this one will push her to her limits. She also always haves great word choses because I always have an image of what's going on in the book. In the last part she has to make a huge decision. In my mind I she her thinking, panicking and pacing try to decide quickly or there could be devastating. I would recomend this book to people who likes a lot of fantasy and can deal with a lot of emotions.

Samuel Useche _averick710 — A Tough Read-- Having read three major works by Faulkner, I never thought Faulkner's prose to be THAT long and convoluted until I read this one. The sentences go on and on, sometimes for half a page, sometimes for an entire page, strung together with clause after clause, requiring the reader to really focus and remember what the subject of the enormous sentence is, though retaining and figuring out what all the clauses are referring to is often times hard to determine as you get lost in that meandering prose that keeps burgeoning like this, sometimes ignoring grammar altogether, sometimes even omitting commas when listing euphuistic obscure poetic little adjectives, punctuated with long parenthetical asides (kind of like this, making it hard to follow the gist of the sentence and causing momentary amnesia whereby the subject of the sentence you tried so hard to retain throughout the long serpentine sentences is almost completely obliterated, sometimes made more complex by an insertion of another parenthetical aside inside of it (like this, you see?) compelling you to go ALL THE WAY back to the beginning and skip the asides altogether and re-read the entire damn thing again to wholly understand what the hell it's saying), the inexplicable semi-colon followed by a dash -- the dash long and imposing, confusing and unnecessary, enclosing more clause after clause in this fashion, severing the subject from everything else that is relevant and instrumental in understanding the sentence as a whole;-- the dash further elongating and compounding the sentence, and all those "not only...but" constructions that are sometimes embedded in or juxtaposed with a negative clause, making it outright ANNOYING (here it is, just CHECK this out) not because they are unpoetic (it can be at times) or stylistically uninteresting (because sometimes - just sometimes - it is) but not only because they are unnecessary and time-consuming to read but because they are just damn confusing! So if you made it this far in my review and took the time to understand what I said above, you should be able to handle Absalom, Absalom!. Or maybe not. Though there are ups and downs, the entire book is written in this convoluted style. So know what you're getting yourself into before tackling this difficult work. The story, on the other hand, is interesting. Though 90% of it is really telling and not showing at all, it's generally interesting enough to impel you through the dense, clattered prose and understand the story of a mysterious and impeccable man bent on building a dynasty of his own. In a nutshell, it's a good Shakespearian tragedy (the son destroying the dynasty) with a good Southern twist (in particular, racism). Overall, despite my parody of his style, I did enjoy the unique experience of reading Faulkner at his most convoluted. An interesting (yet hard) read.

Khoa Cao comichubble — ** spoiler alert ** An earlier reviewer claimed that non science fiction readers will approach Yu differently. If we assume that this bifurcation is appropriate, I should be placed into the “you didn’t grow up reading Douglas Adams” category. Indeed, my only experience with time travel through artistic narrative/fiction was seeing Primer on a second date. The Linus Skywalker/pop culture allusions and clever quotations caused me to categorize the book prematurely and incorrectly. For example, Yu writes, “In order to qualify as a protagonist, a human must be able to demonstrate an attachment coefficient of at least .75. A coefficient of 1.00 or above is required in order to be a hero.”Funny and not too heavy, right? After reaching the 50 page mark, my overall enthusiasm for the book waned and I would have abandoned Yu if it wasn’t already listed on my GoodReads currently reading shelf. Yes, posting a book serves as a reminder/prompt/source of agony. Though, I will never ever finish Miranda July’s book. ;) I digress, though. Reading beyond the fiftieth page results in an unexpected exploration of immigrant culture, socio-economic issues, dysfunctional families, and metaphysical musings. While it’s not my favorite book, I found the rest of the novel a quick, enjoyable read.
