Maksim Alesin chillermaks4ecf — Definitely had some fun with this book and the tarot cards that came with it. I really liked how these cards were myth based. That element made the cards easier to understand and more interesting to look at and read about.

Fulo Wang fulosunnydeef — I kept wishing I had a red pen so that I could cross out all the annoying parts. Maybe it then could've been a decent short story.

Autobahn Autobahn _utobahn — With the intrigue of Memento and the romance of The Time-Traveller's Wife, Forgotten is the perfect YA novel. Here's the thing about me: I can see the future in flashes, like memories. But my past is a blank. I remember what I'll wear tomorrow, and an argument that won't happen until this afternoon. But I don't know what I ate for dinner last night. I get by with the help of notes, my mom and my best friend Jamie, and the system works ...Until now. Everything's falling apart. Jamie's going of the rails. My mom is lying to me. And I can't see the boy I adore in my future. But today, I love him. And I never want to forget how much ...Forgotten is the story of a girl for whom yesterday is lost, today is an adventure, and tomorrow is a memory. An unforgettable read. From Amazon UK I received a surprise ARC of Forgotten last week, and as soon as I read the press release, I pretty much squealed. It sounded so unique, so fresh, and so exciting! So as soon as I finished the book I was reading at the time, I picked this book. And I have just one word for you: wow! Forgotten was so much better than I even imagined it was going to be. It was very reminiscent of the movie 50 First Dates with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, with the notes that London leaves herself every night. But the difference is that she remembers the future - not see the future in flashes or glimpses, but "remembers" it, like we remember the past. She recognises people she sees today from remembering them being in her future - her mother, her best friend, etc. Which is why it's so odd that she doesn't remember this gorgeous boy who shows up one day at school, and how she has to write notes every night so she knows him the next day - even after weeks of knowing each other. It's really beautiful seeing London try and keep a relationship going with Luke when she doesn't it's like meeting him for the very first time everyday. She doesn't tell Luke about her memory problem, like she doesn't tell most people. There are a very few people who do actually know, so trying to build a relationship from what is nothing each and everyday, by the help of her notes and what her mum tells her... it's difficult, but wonderful and beautiful to watch. But it's not all lovely moments with her boyfriend. She has a re-occuring memory from the future of a funeral, but she doesn't know who it is. At first, it's only brief, little moments that she remembers, but then she remembers more details each time. Her mum is the only person she recognises from her day-to-day life, and she has no idea what's going on, but knows it's something big. That along with fighting with Jamie, her best friend, and lied to by her mum over her relationship with her dad, along with trying to live as normal a life as possible with her condition... life isn't really all that easy. There isn't much more I can tell you about this book without spoiling it, but it is absolutely fantastic! Seriously, I cannot tell you how good it is! Unfortunately, it's just a stand alone novel, though I finished wanting more and more. This is one book you cannot miss out on, it's just amazing! From Once Upon a Bookcase - YA book blog.

Vero Vero vero_gjv — I really, REALLY liked the pacing of this book. That's the first thing I want to comment on. There's minimal buildup and a refreshing absence of long-winded exposition; the reader is hurled straight into events that progress so quickly that the most succinct way to describe this novel would be "page-turning." I devoured it in one sitting because I could not put it down in my desire to find out what would happen next. The overall concept is unique and morbidly interesting; as a former biology major, I'm familiar with the term "fenestra" as it pertains to the pores in the cells that facilitate molecular exchange, and I was curious to see how it would be carried out in a fantasy YA setting. It's a nifty idea, and quite distinctive. My inner geek was delighted by the random historical references and bits of science that Kizer scatters throughout; she has an eye for the little details that lend authenticity and relevance. However, I do think the writing leaves much to be desired; aside from being sappy in a lot of places, there are also some issues with the dialogue. The characters tend to talk in circles; there were several times when I went, "Wait, didn't they just discuss this a few pages back?" Also, while there's nothing wrong with dialogue being used to info-dump, it could have been handled more gracefully. The obligatory romance has a promising beginning, but is developed in such a forced and rushed manner that it kind of gets ridiculous in the end. Deus ex machina is all over the place, and the showdown with the Big Bad is anti-climactic, and, what's worse, almost comical. One also gets the feeling that the author doesn't have a good grasp of her characters in the sense that they fall flat and their dynamic with one another is hollow. Meridian is a pretty cool heroine, though; she's snarky, capable and full of inner strength, while at the same time still exuding the vibe of any other sixteen-year-old girl. Overall, in spite of the cardboard characters and the needs-improvement writing, this is still a very compelling read.

Rang 2c rang2c — The book had such a good start that I was really looking forward to reading the rest of it. Instead, I found it to be very "preachy" and, at times, a little boring.
