I loved this book!! It reminded me of a Richard Laymon novel really which is a good thing for me, but was very well written with lots of different plots coming together at the end. I loved the character of Roxie, although you feel that you shouldn't! All in all a very enjoyable read that I will read again and again :)

My son has received a wonderful selection of books from his grandmother Judy. Her latest find is The Secret Science Project That Almost Ate the School by Judy Sierra and illustrated by Stephen Gammell. Through verse, Judy Sierra tells the classic story of hubris and nemesis, this time in the third grade. The main character, afraid of losing in the science fair decides to cheat. In the quest for an easy win, she unleashes a green hungry blob who soon has devoured her cat, father, and class. Can she stop her monster before it is too late? Gammell's illustrations bring to life to Sierra's humorous verse. The paintings are watercolors and the colors bleed together just as the monster oozes from scene to scene. It's the perfect blending of talents.

I liked this one the best of the bunch, so far. I liked the different locale (which I won't spoil) and I liked the culmination of the story arc in the first three books. I'm interested to see where she's going to go from here. My guess is that this was originally the end of the series, but it did so well that she decided to continue it.

Really enjoyed reading "Julius Knipl: Real Estate Photographer": a collection of wry, surreal, & detail rich observations on metropolitan life. Love the drawing style.

A good take on the vampire romance genre.

This one was okay, but I liked the first on better. It just didn't have the perfection and yet disonance the first one did.
The Stolen Child, which takes its name and inspiration from the Yeats poem, tells the story of two characters: Aniday is a human child who is stolen by changelings and lives in their world, and Henry Day is the changeling who takes his place and grows up in the real world. Both spend the next few decades struggling with their identities, as neither is at peace with the change. The format is interesting; every other chapter flips between the two narrators. Both speak in the first person, but it is easy to grasp whose story is being told at the moment. In case there is any confusion, Aniday's side always has a small graphic of a forest at the beginning of the chapter. Although I finished reading this about a month ago, it took me a long time to decide how I felt about it. Amazon.com promoted the hell out of it (supposedly on its merits, rather than monetary incentives from the publisher) and professional reviews were hailing it as one of the best books of the year, but it left me a little cold. This is probably because most of the characters spend the majority of the story being so unhappy and conflicted. The resolution helps them find some peace, but it's definitely not the Feel-Good Story of the Year. As I was browsing through Amazon.com reviews after finishing it, I noticed that one of the bigger complaints was that it doesn't explain more about how the changelings turned into humans, why they exist, where the first changelings came from, etc. I thought the level of explanation in the book was satisfactory, since it's essentially a fairy tale. No one ever demands to know how a kiss woke Sleeping Beauty up. One thing I did think needed more explanation was Aniday's obsession with who had taken his place in the real world. None of the other changelings seemed to have similar issues, and they all encouraged him to forget his past. They had other issues, such as longing to re-enter the real world, but no hang-ups about their histories. Nothing seems to explain why Aniday kept obsessing while the others were able to forget. The Stolen Child is very well-written and approaches the changeling tale from an interesting angle, but it never made me care for the characters too much. I will definitely look into Keith Donohue's next novel, if he writes one; I think he would do well with a story that's a little less depressing.
