The Flight of Gemma Hardy is my first venture into the books by Margot Livesey. I developed an interest in picking this book up when I discovered that it was a retelling of Jane Eyre, one of my all time favourite books. I was thrilled to acquire an ARC early and dive in. Sadly to say, the book is mediocre and not great like I wanted it to be. I'm disappointed. *There may be Jane Eyre spoilers ahead, for those who have not read Bronte. You have been warned. Ostensibly, the book follows the Jane Eyre formula to the letter, except that it's set in Scotland during the 1960's. We follow the young orphaned Gemma from one path of life to another as she goes through awful situations again and again. She believes she's cursed. She flits from her home life with her Aunt, who despises her, to a school called Claypoole, where she is mistreated and overworked, to a position as an Au pair in the Orkneys. It is here that she meets Sinclair, the "Rochester" character in this book... and, of course, the two fall in love. What happens when Livesey "reveals" Sinclair's shame, though, is where the book started going downhill for me. This plot in Jane Eyre is one of my favourite plot twists in a book. Ever. I couldn't wait to see what someone else did with it. Let's just say I was unimpressed with Livesey's twist and move on. From here the book gets, well, dull. I think Livesey focused too much on this part of the story instead of the build up, and this is the part of Jane Eyre that very little time is spent on to begin with. It felt... stretched. I was a little bored. This is not the exciting part of the original book and, frankly, I found little about Gemma's trials at this point in the narrative to bond with her over. I just was waiting to see how a few more plot points were resolved, which didn't do as much for me as I had hoped they would. I was underwhelmed by everything about the ending. It just did not have the impact I wanted from it. Such a shame, really... it doesn't do any credit to its predecessor. I was excited to see what Livesey would do to tie the culture of the 60's into the book and was disappointed. Were it not for the cars she frequently mentioned I felt like it was in a similar time period as the setting of the Bronte novel. This, to me, implies that the attempt to make the novel "different" from the other failed. And that means that this novel is unnecessary. 2 out of 5 stars. The beginning wasn't bad. However, if you have any real interest, you should just read Jane Eyre. - Review courtesy of www.bibliopunkkreads.com

The first Peter Wimsey mystery. I feel vaguely guilty for not liking it more than I do.

One of the funniest books I have ever read. I constantly wanted to pick up this book and immerse myself in the insane office life of this Chicago ad agency. The best part was Ferris' ability to weave hilarious happenings in with real tragedies. I rarely laugh out loud from books, but Then We Came to the End had me cracking up every few pages. I was so sad to see it end, but the ending was perfect. I can't wait to read his next novel.

Reviewed by http://urbanfantasyinvestigations.blo... I gave it 3.5 stars Sarah is learning to deal with her self a little better in HONEYED WORDS, she is finally accepting who and what she is which makes a lot of things run a little smoother. She still seems to have a lot to learn about herself and her new life but she is trucking along the best she can. There are some interesting characters and situations added to her story as she fights some new bad guys. People she cares about are once again in danger but also have her back. We learn a little bit more about Sarah's family and I'm hoping that book 3 will include some more of her past. The world that J.A Pitts has made continues to grow and develop and I have enjoyed learning about all the different creatures in it. The ending makes it clear that Sarahs journey is far from over and I will keep on reading the series.

Really excited about this book b/c I just read last night how this guy is from Annandale, VA. ONly on paget 30 and very curious about this guy's trek. This guy sounds like he wanted to really experinece nature and realized how difficult it was going to be living out there and tried to get out, but too late. Liked the book enough to read, glad it was short.

I always enjoy the historical accuracy in Anne Perry's books.

I picked up this book because there was an article I read a few weeks ago about how it's still controversial--even banned in some places. I wondered how a teen book written in 1975 could still be considered "taboo" by today's standards. I was actually very surprised at how sexually explicit it was. Everything (and I do mean everything) is described in very graphic detail. Parts of the book seemed more like a "how to" manual, and other sections bordered on pornography. As with all realistic fiction, there are sections of the book that haven't aged well--people don't hook rugs, listen to records or embroider mushrooms on their pants anymore for fun--but Judy Blume writes so well that the dated content was inconsequential. I thought that the book was kind of predictable, and it got a little boring at parts, but overall, I enjoyed it.
