Possibly the most tragic story I've ever read, but so well-written. I liked how the author chose to make his protagonist a German girl living during World War II instead of the typical Jewish character. The book is narrated by Death, which the author did a very good job with. The ending was especially sad and almost made me cry.

Read more reviews at The Sirenic Codex Kimberly Derting's The Pledge has the type of cover that calls to me. I'm fond of pretty things and The Pledge's cover was the type that had friends asking if they could take a look at the book. When it comes to the content, I wasn't as impressed. The first problem is that almost nothing happens for a really, really long time. The plot is slow and while it's a readable book, nothing about it really draws the reader in. I think a lot of the problems concern execution because the ideas behind what's happening is nice. The characters, for one, are utterly unremarkable. I don't think they had much depth because they didn't fascinate me at all. They weren't real in any way. There was instalove, and what surprises me once again is how sudden it is. I don't even know who this Max dude is and then he's declaring his love for Charlie. What's super ridiculous is that he lies a lot to Charlie, and somehow she seems to trust him completely. None of the characters were individuals. They felt like clichés to me and it was disappointing. The believability was lacking as well. The world is interesting; there are classes which are distinguished based on what language you know. You're only allowed to know your class' language and that of the class below. The setting is some futuristic monarchy that also has some type of magic. It was hard to understand the parameters of the world and I think this magic part was haphazardly thrown in. It didn't feel plausible because the parameters of the world weren't well established. I had no idea what I was dealing with for most part of the novel. The plot was slightly entertaining, but it had its ups and downs. I felt like it dragged on and was incredibly slow until the end where it kind of went ballistic. Stuff was happening and it wasn't being properly explained and all of a sudden there's some kind of battle and then, the end. The Pledge wasn't what I was expecting at all. It's a much lighter read than anticipated. I would compare it to The Selection by Kiera Cass, except that story was slightly more entertaining. I was expecting a more coherent, focused, and mature story than what I got and my expectations are probably what damned the book a bit. I mean, even the cover is in all black! It screams "serious" book, doesn't it? (Or am I completely off base?) Near the end of the book I became completely disinterested and considered DNFing. I decided not to just because I was almost done. Now, I know I sound extremely negative in my review but this book isn't a book to hate. I actually don't have particularly strong feelings either way. I didn't like it. It wasn't my cup of tea technically or emotionally. I wasn't invested. So, 1 heart. (Also, I have to throw this out there: the font wasn't the best. I like that they decided to try a different font, but it doesn't fit with the story at all. The cover is all about elaborate, elegant font which makes sense considering the importance of the monarchy in the story and so a sans-serif is slightly jarring. But, I'm known to be a bit of a font snob.)

Patrick Rothfuss' writing is truly awesome and dramatic. Nearly the entire way through the story of magic and monsters I had a grin on my face. The grin is kept going by the fact that the book failed to fall into the classic archetypes and traps of fantasy writing that Tolkien set down so many years ago. Concentrating on the story at hand rather than the boring worldbuilding, different races, and other various nonsense the book reminds me heavily of Jane Yolen's Young Merlin Trilogy that I read and reread as a child and I loved it for a lot of the same reasons.

I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was very creative and funny! Great writer and a "clean" book you can recommend to other teens.

This was my favorite book when I was in intermediate school. I was immersed in this book and couldn't put it down until I finished. The author's use of imagery drew me in as did her description of the character. I wanted my own hollow tree!

It's a fun read, and I appreciate the guts Baker had to write this. It's funny, and I think a lot of young single LDS adults could relate to this (and a lot will not and be offended). However, I think in ten years she's going to look back on this book and feel embarrassed. She should have waited a few more years to publish it because she obviously hasn't come to terms with her struggle between her religion and the kind of lifestyle she wants to live.

To date, the only book I was assigned to read for school that I did NOT finish. I suffered through the first half and then bought the Cliffs Notes. The Brothers Karamazov is probably one of my all-time favorite works, and I still don't understand how they could have been written by the same guy!

Really liked this book. Many life events that could be related to. Ending leaves you hanging. I hope she is going to do more with these characters because there is absolutely no closure. If she brings them back in another book, I will definitely buy it! I got this book on the clearance rack and it is the best buy I have ever had!
