This is a beautiful and moving story about family, friendship, and the many meanings of loyalty. I was swept up equally by Quinn's harrowing story and Jackson's lyrical prose. The characters are so real and flawed they will steal into your heart, and the storytelling races along with restrained emotion and simmering tension. The book also tackles important themes that would make it perfect for libraries or school curricula, but Jackson never veers into preachy territory, letting the characters' stories unfold with grace and heart. While focusing on young adults, this book will resonate with readers of all ages. Highly recommended.

Featuring: Death, A Young Girl, Hiding, A Love Of Books Death serves as our narrator in this chilling novel. He quickly explains that he does not in anyway look like the grim ripper that pop culture has perceived him to be, such as wearing a black cloak and carrying a scythe, but instead is just like you and me... well sort of. Like a teacher who remembers a favorite student Death tells the tale of Liesel Meminger, a girl who he brushed past while doing his job. We first meet Liesel Meminger by her brother's grave site during Nazi Germany. While mourning her brother she picks up The Gravediggers Handbook. I guess you could call it a memento. This memento begins the art of thievery and the need to learn how to read. Soon after this event she is shipped off to a foster family, Hans and Rosa Hubermann. Hans and Rosa contrast each other nicely, like the "Jack Sprat" nursery rhyme. Rosa is short and never walks but waddles, while she appears to be a strict disciplinarian her seemingly ice cold heart is really made of gold. Hans is tall and lean with a very outgoing personality with a love for playing the accordion. It is also through him that Liesel learns to read The Gravediggers Handbook. Just when things are getting settled on Himmel Street Hans fulfills a promise to Erick Vandenburg, who saved his life during the first Wold War. This promise was to do anything for his family as payment, that payment is hiding Erick's son Max, a Jew in his basement. Even though there is a constant fear that they may be found out life continues on as normally as possible. Not only are the Hubermanns closeting a Jew but they are also in close proximity to Dachau making Jews walking through their town a regular occurrence. Throughout all this turmoil, Liesel Meminger continues to steal books from book burnings and the personal library of the mayor. Although, this ability turns out to be a blessing in diguise while in the neighborhood bomb shelter. Unfortunately, this also turns into a curse and her savior by the end of book. What didn't I like about The Book Thief? It was extremely well written, and was an excellent young adult crossover with the subject matter being the Holocaust. I think because it described events in a way that didn't dumbed it down too much for adult readers, making them feel like they were reading a first or second grade level book, but was explanatory enough that a teen could understand it. I also really enjoyed that it was told from Death's perspective, this was so unique and original and actually made the reader feel empathy for him, maybe because of the sadness that comes with the job. Liesel, her foster family and the residence of Himmel Street stay with you long after closing the book as they all seem so real leaving a huge impact on the reader. This is my second time reading The Book Thief and cried after completing it, I had a repeat preforming last week as well, which is hard to do as I've been stamped as an ice princess. Not to sound like a back cover, but this book is destined to become a classic.

This book was more difficult to get into than either Elantris or the Mistborn Trilogy. The beginning(s) had me in a bit of a jumble and the many many kinds of spren (anticipationspren, fearspren, gloryspren, painspren...) felt somehow random rather than an integral part of the world. Luckily, I was quite willing to give Sanderson time to create his world and characters. By the time I was through the first couple of their chapters, Kaladin, Dalinar, and Shallan had me hooked. The world...well, I'm still trying to get a handle on it. Where the laws of the magic in Mistborn used some basics of the laws of physics, the magic in The Stormlight Archive seems to delight in defying the laws of physics...maybe. There is enough in hinted at in Kings to give a shadowy sketch of what the larger picture may be. There is certainly a kind of charm to the strangeness of this world. ;) I really did enjoy The Way of Kings once I got into it. I would recommend it to anyone who has read and liked other books by Brandon Sanderson, but I'm on the fence as to whether I'd have it be someone's introduction to his writing. (Which just means that between now and the release of the next book in the series, I'll just have to get my friends to read Mistborn so I can hook them on this as well.)

A quick read and a much-needed distraction, but a tad predictable. The terrorism angle was handled well, the characters reasonably interesting, but I like my investigators to be more conflicted and less sure of themselves.

This book should have been so much better. It deserved much better than two stars, definitely, but I could not bring myself to give it. I'll explain why at the end. The story was excellent and engaging. It wasn't a cookie-cutter style, it didn't leave the reader all warm and fuzzy in the end, just like you expected when you picked it up with it's bright, happy cover. In the way that it represented the lives of the characters, it was a success and would well fit into the category of YAL. The book does not try to force a stance on the reader, or push the reader to categorize everything with neat labels. It puts the situations out there for the reader to see and hides nothing. A young reader would not feel insulted by being led around the ideas of the story. This book would certainly appeal to younger readers for its veracity and daring. It paints a vivid picture of the hardships of urban youths, which would be relatable to many, and intriguing to others. Because of the content, I would recommend this book to older teens and be sure that other resources were available to them. At the very least, that their parents were aware of the book and available to discuss it with them. As for teaching it in a classroom, I cannot see this as an appropriate academic piece. Content aside, there isn't anything of literary significance that can be gained here that can't be gained elsewhere equally well without the potential for parental objections. Now, for the reason I gave this book only two stars. The voice in the story is completely wrong. The narrator and protagonist, Ponyboy, is an adolescent male, but this story is dripping with obvious feminine tone and diction. It simply does not fit the story, the character, or the intent. From the very first page to the last, I simply could not reconcile the voice with the story, and it ruined it.

Read for Transworld's Great Transworld Crime Caper In my opinion, the storyline was well thought out, and credible enough. Just a few years ago, Lady Diana's sad demise was much speculated upon, so why not write a fictional novel based on her accident? Cain's debut novel reminded me a lot of the late Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Identity and its sequels, which feature a similar antihero. They both follow orders by faceless intelligence agents and carry out black operations for the greater good. But then, just like Bourne, "Accident Man" Samuel Carver becomes a liability to his bosses and needs to be eliminated before he spills the truth (or finds them and kills them first). The cast includes tough (and seductive) Russians and British national security services. After frequent exposure to tv-series as 24 and Alias these and other elements (like conspiracies and terrorists) related to the world of international intelligence have become predictable old fixtures, but surprisingly enough, the story never becomes too clichéd. Cain's writing style is succinct, yet never too flimsy. His characters are fleshed out just enough, but he doesn't waste time filling them in with unnecessary details, or squander (too many) pages on tragic childhoods in order to explore their psyche. Both protagonist Carver and his lady friend Alix are aware of the terrible reality of their daily lives. Still, they try to find a balance, a way to incorporate some kind of normality in it too. They were three-dimensional enough for me to relate to them, and that is all I need when reading books of this genre. The novel reads like a good thriller/spy novel should, breathlessly paced, it pulls you into the action, making you forget your surroundings. It is, therefore, the perfect read for on holidays or for on boring commutes. And for readers that become attached to Carver, man beyond redemption (or is he?), diamond in the rough, you'll be happy to know that he returns in at least three sequels!

I picked up this book because it was a Newbery Silver Medal Winner. I didn't realize until just about 2 minutes ago that this was book 2 in a series. Obviously, you don't need book 1 to survive it. I thought the book was well written, but a little slow in pacing.

This book is so awesome. I can see the places and the people he describes so clearly and beautifully. I feel like I understand the Mexican-American immigrant experience in a whole new and more powerful way after reading this. The man (Villaseñor) is a genius! I laughed. I cried (lots). Anybody who doesn't get something out of this book need a good pinch because they must be asleep!
