This was one of those books that was slow to make sense. It was hard to get into and then I wasn't quite sure I knew exactly where it was going - or agreed with it. There were some shining moments and well drawn characters... but I always feel the true test of a book is if I get so caught up in it that I believe in the characters and the story as if they were real people and events. I never got there with this one. The first problem was the premise that Promise - who is sick with Cystic Fibrosis - suddenly gets better and survives all these near fatal accidents, but only until she is around Porta, a witch. The accidents make her feel better than ever before and they all occur around her son (a drug addict that she is drawn to) and neither of them have any faith in God at all. In fact, I didn't notice any real redemptive message in the book at all. Sacrificial love, innocence, sharing... but no real redemption. Only Chase (the autistic man) shows any signs of faith and his sister questions his understanding of it. Many times it appears he gets messages about what's going to happen from his father (who is dead). This may be the author's way of having God speak to Chase, but that isn't discussed or the way he seems to view it. More of a sci-fi/magical feel comes across as his drawing utensils rattle by themselves in their cans and "call to him" to tell him what to draw. Nevertheless, he does understand biblical principles and try and share them with others through his drawings of trees. The other problem is Chase's claim to love Promise, romantically. He first claims this when he hasn't even met her. He says that he loves everyone he gives his pictures to and I wish they would have left his feelings for Promise in this same category because it just doesn't make sense that he would have this romantic love for her (specially since it isn't returned - he makes her uncomfortable) with no real personal contact with her. It felt more like a stalker relationship after that instead of something good and with any promise for a future. The ending felt rushed and unsatisfying. I felt like the story had potential, but took some wrong turns. It still is a very haunting and unique novel. I haven't read anything quite like it. I want to thank the people at Thomas Nelson for providing my copy in exchange for my honest review.

Not his best, but it has some good gory scenes.

this is a touching story of a family torn apart by a father's secret. while the story itself is great, the best part of this novel is the questions it raises regarding reproductive rights and prenatal testing.

This book really impressed me. This is not something I would consider "young adult" even though the characters are in high school and the entire story takes place at a boarding school. To me, young adult novels are shallow, ridiculous and induce uncontrollable eye rolling in me. This was so deep I'm not even sure it had a bottom! Wow. The characters grew on me till I felt like I was reading about my life and my friends. This book gave me experiences so real I feel like I have gained memories of a time in my life that I never knew existed- like I recovered from amnesia or something! Amazing. This is the story of a boy named Miles and his experiences of leaving home and attending boarding school in the south. He picks up bad habits, gets mixed up in an old feud, makes incredible friends and finds a girl named Alaska. He learns a little bit about life, love, friendship and loss. Now that the story is over... I miss my friends. I might have to read this one again some day. Character Casting: Miles: Jesse Eisenberg Alaska: Jennifer Lawrence The Colonel: Tom Hardy
This edition is great to read--it has the English on one side, the Latin on the other. I recall quite clearly how excruciating it was to translate the Aeneid, but now I can more happily appreciate the dual-language approach. The Georgics were also surprisingly engaging.

Overrated in my opinion. Another "classic" that didn't speak to me; I had very little if anything in common with Holden. It probably had more bite in the 50's.

I had heard about this book due to it being so popular. And once I had read it, I saw why. Nora Grey is made to sit next to a boy named Patch in her biology class but he doesn't give away any information about himself (Much like Twilight). But when Nora does some digging on Patch's life she finds more stuff than she should have. A beautiful novel form Becca Fitzpatrick

Not really my style of writing... that's why I never finished it.
