My favorite novel! I've thought about reading it in another translation. Then I got the SparkNotes, and that seems to have been enough so far. Dostoyevsky had apparently begun a sequel; I wonder what it would be like? Primarily about Alyosha, I hope, but what would the story be? One that featured faith, possibly, and how a person's faith grows over the years.

This was one of those page-turners that works like a car accident -- its horrible and heartbreaking to read, but you love it. I thought Tandia's story was a good addition to Peekay's storyline from The Power of One, and she is one of the most heart-wrenching characters I've ever read. I was pretty choked that the back of the book blew the whole storyline though! A certain thing doesn't develop until page 750ish, and I was waiting for it the whole time because of the damn synopsis!

Helen Keller as a badass killer in comic/graphic novel form. Awesome! A lot of fun, mixing history, science fiction, steampunk, violence! and the power of the mind/body and the unknown. Actual historical events and figures play into this fictionalized world. Recommended for the "cool" kids.

Teen model Annabel has a secret, related to what caused the fight between her and former best friend Sophie. Can Owen get her to open up? I really like this book, as per usual with Dessen. At first the book reminded me of Speak, because of the whole "teen girl with a secret related to why she's so unpopular". But, there's so much good stuff here- the imagery, the connections... it's really great. READ IT NOW. Um, if you haven't yet.
Originally published on The Librarian Next Door: Sophie Mercer thought things couldn’t get any worse. First, she discovered that the Council was secretly raising demons to use as weapons, then the Casnoffs turned on her and her father, stripping away her powers and trying to kill them both. Though Sophie manages to escape – not knowing the fate of her father, her boyfriend Archer, or her fiance Cal – she’s brought to the doorstep of the Brannick’s, a family of Prodigium hunters. But even after more surprises and discoveries, Sophie is still stuck. Both the Brannicks and the Casnoffs think she is the key to the impending war between the Prodigium and their enemies, but without her powers, she’s not much use to either side. Sophie must venture back to Hex Hall to find the one spell that will help her. Then all she’ll have to do is battle an army of demons and save the world. No problem – right? Spell Bound is the third and final book in Rachel Hawkins’ Hex Hall series and after much anticipation and a year-long wait, Spell Bound concluded Sophie’s story in a dramatic way. The book picks up right where Demonglass left off and flies through the story at a relentless pace. I felt like I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough because there was always something on the next page that I just had to get to. I kept reminding myself to slow down and enjoy the story, especially since I knew it was going to be the last book. I was thrilled to discover that most of my theories, formulated after reading Demonglass, turned out to be true (I was RIGHT! Ha!), but Hawkins still managed to include a few twists and surprises. While I didn’t ever doubt that Sophie and Company would triumph in the end, I liked that I didn’t always know how it was going to happen. Of course, Spell Bound is filled with Sophie’s trademark sarcastic humor and snark, which helps keep the book from feeling too serious, though the characters still felt sufficiently in danger at the right moments. There are also a few new intriguing characters introduced throughout the novel and with well-confirmed rumors of a spin-off novel coming in the future, I’m confident we’ll be seeing some of these people again. (In fact, I can think of a few stories, as either prequels or sequels, that I’d like to read.) Once again, Sophie is our narrator and at the center of all the action. She’s still the Sophie we know and love from the previous books, but she’s stronger now. Even without her magic, she shows signs of having grown up and it’s clear that she’s willing to take on this fight that she’s inherited, to do the right thing and help save the people she loves. She even manages to cope remarkably well with the revelations that come at her over the course of the book and I especially loved how she comes to terms with her magic and learns to accept and control it. I would have liked to see Sophie try to fight without her magic for a little while longer (and, for that matter, I did feel that Elodie’s “help” was a bit of a cheat that negated the missing magic problem), but overall, it’s clear that she really has come a long well since her first mistakes in Hex Hall. I do have a few quibbles about Spell Bound, most notably that the pace of the novel meant the ending and the “climactic” ending felt rushed. I think Hawkins should have drawn the story out more, built up the tension and the danger so that the payoff was greater. There were also some decisions Hawkins made as an author that I didn’t like, even if they made sense for a particular character. The resolution of Sophie’s love triangle with Cal and Archer was a bit of a letdown (and if you have read the book, you know there’s a pretty obvious reason why) and it did seem as if Hawkins took the easy route with some of the plot points. I was left feeling like I wanted more, to somehow make Spell Bound more complete. I’m sad to see Sophie’s story finished and I feel like there are still so many more stories still waiting to be told. Fans of Rachel Hawkins and the Hex Hall series will no doubt love her entertaining and fast-paced conclusion to the series. Spell Bound may not be perfect, but it is enjoyable, funny and satisfying, with a story that both concludes Sophie’s adventures and leaves enough questions unanswered to keep readers imagining what could happen next. If you’ve read either of the first two books in the series, do not miss the final chapter of Sophie’s wild ride.

Absolutely brilliant, best of the first 3. And Martin holds nothing back and absolutely no one is safe. My heart broke for certain characters while i was glad certain ones finally got what they deserved.

I have no idea why nobody reads barthes anymore in anthropology. He's prettier than Foucault, less obtuse than Levi-Strauss and more current than Benjamin. Move over Kristeva and Cixous, here comes the O.P...

Story of a young muslim indian woman, who has spent considerable amounts of time in the US, but is back in India for her arranged marriage. Complicating matters is the lasting effects of a miscarriage, the pregnancy a result of her relationship with an American boyfriend, who she's really in love with. The arranged husband seems likeable enough, until she gets to know him better... I enjoyed the book.
