Very fun story with lots of attempts to kill off Coke and Pepsi. Plenty of plot twists cause the reader to second guess who the bad guys are. Surprise ending at Aunt Judy's wedding will lead readers into the third book. When I pulled this book out to show my 5th graders, the were audible gasps f excitement. A sure to please second book.

A good start to another series on witches and the Fae by Anne Bishop. Inquisitors are just downright mean in any world.

This book is pretty great reading for women of all ages, and to be honest, something that straight men should probably thumb through as well. It's honest, funny, and empowering without being preachy - and surprisingly informant.

The sheer size of this book at first may seem daunting. However the story istelf is so well written and so interesting, you don’t realize how far into the novel you got until you stop and take a break. Then you realize, the book was certainly fast to go through because it was just that good. The action starts right at the first page. It then keeps going. I loved the mystery behind it all. Little bits and clues are finally given through the later half of the book, but it’s well drawn out. Not to mention, there is also the survival issue that plays a very important part in this book. A lot of the emphasis is on survival and the breaking off of the teens in several groups or cliques. The plot does certainly become darker up to this point. Especially when the bullies come in to enforce their own style of rules. When Caine steps into the picture, the plot takes another twist. It was one thing after another, and I could not tear my eyes off of this book. I was so engrossed in it, I had to keep going back after taking a break because the plot was just that interesting. You could say it’s a version of Lord of the Flies on a grander scale. It also shows human nature and its brutality through Caine and his group. Some of the things his group does may seem shocking, especially as these characters are teenagers and not fully grown adults. (I could not get over the cement thing...just could not) There is quite a number of characters to keep track of. However it’s not hard as each and every one of them are memorable - whether through their personality traits, or their own super skills, they’re easily identifiable. It’s also made simple. There’s good versus evil. Then you can even break it into smaller groups based on their ‘social status’. You can even go further and organize the characters by their skills or powers if they have any. It was a great way to identify the character and remember them throughout the book. More do get added as the story progresses, but their personality traits are different from one another so it’s not hard to remember them at all. I can’t really decide who would be my favorite character. All of them have something I like. Except for Quinn. He’s the biggest coward on the block. I admire Sam for being so forgiving. I however, probably wouldn’t be so forgiving towards Quinn for his idiocies. He would be my least favorite character in the book. I like how some of the more important characters have their own story, and their own issues. It certainly does give them a more ‘three-dimensional’ feel to it. I had already picked up the second book, Hunger, before finishing this one, and I have no regrets purchasing it. Gone is by far, one of the best books I’ve read this year (even though I’m a little late to join the bandwagon on this series!) I do recommend this to everyone, even if you’re not into YA but like books where things in the world just run amok. It’s a great book and well worth the time spent reading.

This is one of my favorite books, it makes the top ten. I read it a few years ago and re-read it for my book group. It's even better the second time around. I recommend reading three junes and then the whole world over back to back.

A little disturbing, just like all of Cormier's books, but it brings up good questions of love vs. lust.

When her baby brother is ripped from their safe, quaint neighborhood and flown away to the Impenetrable Wilderness, Prueaccidentally accompanied by her classmate Curtismust risk it all to enter the woods, and there discover places and dangers unknown. With an epic adventure and journey, as well as an antagonist, in the style of Narnia and locales that mirror Redwall and other classic fantasy settings, Wildwood falls somewhere between homage and derivation. Unfortunately, this means that Wildwood reads more like a book that wants to be a classic than one that is: the right pieces are often there, but they're a little too familiar and so too often predictable; the book offers nothing more, be it startling originality in a Harry Potter-like world or the numinous qualities of a Narnia-like metaphor, to make it stand out. This doesn't mean that it wants for a Jesus analogybut it does want something bigger, something more unique and memorable, to make it a classic or a must-read. Instead, Wildwood is just a good book. At a hefty 500 pages, it's an unapologetic epicand Meloy flows smoothly from city to woods, indulging in the joy of a rambling journey without losing pace, maintaining a sense of humor without becoming twee, and altogether building a compelling tale. Ellis's stylized illustrations do even more than the prose to make the story vivid and unique. This is a book to lose yourself in for hours, which is a pleasure in its own right. Although it occasionally grows too quirky and cute (which is a mixed blessing as a St. Johns localthe depiction of the area is idealized, but no less delightful for that), Wildwood is also surprisingly dark. Without forgetting the age of its intended audience, the book recognizes and refuses to romanticize its violenceand so, however sure the reader is that all will turn out well in the end, there's a distinct sense of danger and loss. (Now if only Meloy would stop preferring humanoid lives to anthropomorphic ones.) Not all supporting characters are so lucky, but Prue and Curtis are fantasticeach is distinct, each is remarkably normal, each achieves something beyond their own expectations and perceived limitations, and that's almost exactly what I hope to see in all children's and young adult fiction. Wildwood wants desperately to be something more than this, but it's notwhich may be its downfall, making it feel more disappointing and derivative than it really is. But even if the book is disappointed in itself, I'm satisfied with it: this is a solidly enjoyable, if ultimately unremarkable, tale, and I'm glad for the chance to read it. With those caveats, I recommend it to readers of all ages. (And yes, this first installment does stand alone.) (ARC received in a GoodReads First Reads giveaway.)

"Samuel Vimes? Is he a diplomat?" "No, Igor, he's the reason for diplomats." Previous Discworld reading is somewhat necessary for this book, but the political nature of this book, like Thud, makes it a thinly veiled but valid commentary. That, and I just dig Vimes.

Some books are meant to become classics from the moment they are published. They lend themselves to reading and rereading, offering up new insights every time. This is not one of them. Aside from the problems I had divorcing myself from my beliefs about Gospel in order to try to not yell at the liberties this book was taking, this book just got on my nerves from a basic literary standpoint, at one point reading like a travel guide, other times, completely abandoning the voices of the characters in favor of the voice of the author. It irked. There were some redeeming qualities about the book, but I had a very difficult time with how many aspects that personally are so important to me were handled. This is not a book I would recommend for those seriously looking for answers ... it was nearly as clear as the Nicean creed, in some regards. Although the book is relatively short, I felt like it dragged, at points saying in thirty words what three would have clarified. * * * A year later, and I have to downgrade this to a star, and I wish it could go half. The parts of this book that stuck with me and that still reverberate are the parts that the author wanted the reader to forget. Honestly, it's antithetical. Don't read it. Trust me.
