A very unique book, and a scary, but most of all sad story.

Even though I’ve read all of Jodi’s books and knew how this one would unfold by page 120, I still enjoyed it. Sure, it follows her standard formula (shifting perspectives, controversial topic, big court battle), but she presents her stories in an approachable and captivating way. Two cent summary: Zoe and Max can’t have a baby together, so they get a divorce. She ends up with Vanessa. Max becomes a born again Christian. So there are the major themes: infertility (and pro-life/choice issues), homosexuality and religious fundamentalism. I thought Jodi did a great job describing the heartbreak and desperation of Zoe’s infertility. There were some unsavory characters like the evangelicals, whose zealousness was frustrating and came off as ignorant. I was not thrilled with Vanessa’s introduction, which felt like a long justification of her sexuality and its effect on her lifestyle and relationships. Although I predicted the path the novel was going to take, I was pleasantly surprised with the final outcome. It delivered exactly what I have come to expect as a Jodi fan.

I seem to remember there is a cliff hanger at the end of this, and I spent years trying to find the follow-up. Anyone know what happens?
Last year I fell in love with Leviathan based on the art. Sure it sounded somewhat interesting in the blurb on the back but I was sold on the spectacular cover and end pages art. It was so fantastic looking, it had to be a good read. And boy was it ever! Fast paced, intricate, full of great characters, lingo, and a world that despite being at war, was one I wanted to live in. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for book 2 Behemoth, and I was not the only one. But when I raced to the book store on October 5th I was crushed to see they'd change the look of the books! Leviathan had a new cover for the softcover edition and it was set to match the new cover for Behemoth. It seems stupid to say that was one of the reasons I didn't buy the book that day, and of course it also had to do with how many other great books came out at the same time (seriously, I'm not made of money after all!) so I had to be choosy for a little bit. But however you look at it, I actually didn't pick it up until just after Christmas during a sale, so obviously it really did bug me that the new cover wasn't as pretty. To my great, and unending relief, both Scott Westerfelds fantastic saga as well as Keith Thompson's arresting interior art (including end pages) were completely untouched by whoever it was at Simon Pulse who thought the cover just had to change. Picking up directly where Leviathan left off, Behemoth follows Alek and Deryn as they delve deeper into the growing war as the Leviathan flies them into the Ottoman Empire. I refuse to go into plot points, really if you've read book one you know the direction this book is heading and anything else just ends up being a spoiler. For those of you who haven't picked up book one yet, then check out my review of Leviathan first then make sure you purchase a copy as soon as possible. Trust me on this one, you want to read this series. I know I was gushing about Rot and Ruin yesterday and it's going to look suspicious that I"m now gushing about Behemoth but I'm telling you, a really good book is a really good book, and they both honestly qualify. Seriously, I'm not one of those reviewers who loves everything, I mean, did you read my Beautiful Malice review? So on to the gushing. Scott has created such a breath taking world here, and even at war it's spectacular. Better yet he's populated it with enchanting characters you can't help but love. I would like a Bovril, I would really really like a Bovril. And as per Leviathan, Deryn's slang is not only unique but so much fun I'd be a complete dullard not to want to shout Barking Spiders every time I'm annoyed about something. This series feels like the makings of a masterpiece. Obviously I'll reserve the honour until I've read the final part, Goliath, in October, but so far it's looking like Scott has hit gold.

Great. I loved how a tradgey of rape and murder came out and the father always knew and come out and found justice. I just wish or acutally i know that if that happened with my family, that poor soul would end up dead too. Just a good book about how death in the family can change a family and never be the same. you may think it won't but truely is does.

I enjoyed reading this book! I loved the personality of Miranda-very quirky in the right way. I loved her sarcastic remarks! And I felt so bad for her--unfortunately there are probably a bunch of guys like Greg out there and I loved her revenge plan..he totally got what he deserved. And while I saw the whole Greg breakup coming, what happened with her next love totally threw me. I didn't see it coming at all and it made me gasp out loud. I loved how all of the characters had their own small side story and I liked the ending for all of them! This would be a perfect summer beach read!

I liked this a lot because it even though it was published in 1939 it still reads fresh. The way Chandler spells okay (okey) was a bit odd and I kept reading it as oh key, which doesn't make sense, but here we are. It always feels like the characters are talking really fast for some reason, but we don't have time to goof around fast. There's no gimmick here, Marlowe is a badass p.i. and who is on the case and goes above and beyond the call of duty. The refreshing depiction of L.A. in this book is different from the sun and glitz that I'm used to reading about.

Fascinating, but longer than my attention span.

This was my first western, steampunk, fantasy and I enjoyed it. At first I was hesitant because I was not very fond of the heroine of the story, but she matures throughout the story. There was plenty of plot, action, and adventure that kept the pages turning. I also liked the subtlety of the romance and was anxious to learn more about Dreadnought.
