Oh, I see. This is a novel expanding upon that Where the Wild Things Are children's book. I just picked it up because I've read Eggers before and found him somewhat enjoyable. In the spirit of full disclosure, I have never read Where the Wild Things Are. I know, I know, it's supposed to be great. I read and had read to me lots and lots and lots of other great books when I was little. So, yes. This was an odd experience having no emotional or historical connection to the source material. I mean, I had seen pictures, so I kind of knew what the monsters looked like, but I have no idea what that book is about. I was going to read it as soon as I figured out what this book was doing and then I decided to commit to the backwards nature of exposure to see if the story held up. It was just strange not being already endeared to everyone in the story; there is clearly an assumption that you already are. I really enjoyed the beginning of the book when Max was at home and having troubles being a boy. His mom and sister and Gary were all very real to me and I was so frustrated for Max and wanted him to find a good therapist who could figure out if he needed to be put on ritalin. Then, when he got in the boat? You guys? I was all, shit. I picked ANOTHER BOOK ABOUT A BOY STUCK ON A BOAT THE WHOLE TIME!!! I almost threw the book across the room and cried. Then he met the monsters. I'm about to play a monster soon, so this was good research. I just spent the whole time trying to figure out what was going on here. Is this a hallucination? Is he in the woods with imaginary friends? Or, are we meant to suspend our disbelief completely? OK. I did that too. So...then the monsters must be symbols. Which one is his mom? Which one is Gary? Or maybe they're all parts of Max? He's struggling with his wild boy inside, all the facets of that wildness. Right. I guess? He faces them, learns a lesson, grows up a little and makes a decision to go back home? He manages this incredibly easily. Suddenly he's back home eating soup. Didn't his mom call the police? Has a missing persons report been filed? I'm very confused. Maybe I'll watch the film before I read the story. Thus enhancing my completely backwards Wild Thing experience.

First impressions: I knew I was going to like this book from the first line: "Mom freaked out when she saw us, of course." (p. 11) Best. First. Line. Ever. Slipping back into this world was like throwing on your favorite comfy jeans. I was a goner. Lasting impressions: I'm so anxious to read Torrent, the final book in the trilogy, that I may develop an ulcer by September 1st. At least I only have to wait the summer, though. This quick release series thing is my new favorite. Conflicting impressions: I don't know if I'm just not remembering Waterfall that well, but Gabi felt a bit off to me in this book. Her voice came through a little differently than I was expecting - more typical teenager-isms, I guess. As a result, the internal monologue was 21st century, but the dialogue was 14th century, which was more jarring for me this time around. Overall impressions: That said, the book was written the way I think. And the way I like to write. So, OF COURSE, I loved it! At this point, I feel almost like, "What else can I say?" I love this series. Unless Lisa Bergren had written this sequel with Gabi murdering her own sister with noxious farts, I couldn't have been disappointed. No. You know what? Even with the death-by-farting, I still probably would have rolled with it, nodding along as I read, assuming this was a weird ritual Italian thing that only Lisa is smart enough to know, and that eventually Lia would spring back to life and pull a rabbit out of a hat or something. Ta da! Lucky for us, Lisa didn't write anything quite so silly. Instead, she completely rose to the occasion and crafted a sequel with even more of the heart-pounding action and non-stop danger that hooked me in the first book. Let's face it. Medieval Italy was HARD LIVING, especially if you were a woman. Gabi, still a teenager, has a hard time accepting just how tough life in Marcello's Italy can be. This book didn't cut her any slack. Gabi and Lia are constantly under attack, but in a believable way and without anything seeming over the top or overdone. Perhaps the best part of this installment is getting to spend nearly the entire book with Gabi and Lia together. I love seeing the She-Wolves of Siena fighting along side each other, and witnessing their bond grow through the time they spend in the past. Lia kind of steals Gabi's thunder in this book, actually, showing off those mad archery skills and proving herself every bit as tough as our main heroine. No review of this book could be complete without mention of Marcello and Luca. Cue the handheld fans! Our Italian hotties are back and better than ever, joined by the somewhat sinister Rodolfo Greco. Lord Greco added a nice element this time around - not purely evil like Lord Paratore, but not fully good like our main men. I appreciated his duplicity and scheming, and I think this is not the last we will hear from him. Marcello and Gabi are totally sweet together, of course, but Luca and Lia stole the show for me. I think I may be falling more in love with Luca! I'm a sucker for his wit and smile, and I can't wait to see how things develop with Lia. I love the pace at which these relationships are moving (not that they have much choice given all of the danger and violence constantly chasing them!), and I particularly enjoy watching Gabi struggle with her growing feelings for Marcello. Would you be willing to give up modern life for your possible true love? Oh! It's so heart-wrenching! The end of this book is so sweet and joyous despite its uncertainty. I absolutely cannot wait to read Torrent and find out what happens next! I could personally relate to the final events of Cascade's story (minus the time travel, natch), which led to many bittersweet but also happy tears while reading the last chapter. The entire book will have your heart leaping into your throat, dashing down to your stomach, and hammering so hard you might fear for your own life. So what are you waiting for?
