I'd give this a 3.5. Poe sometimes seems a bit unrealistic for a teenage character. This is the second of Harmon's books that I've read and they have both seemed similar to Chris Crutcher's books, although maybe not quite as well-rounded and fully formed.

I couldn't finish it, too dark. Anorexia is something that disturbs me and I cannot relate to personally. I understand people who have issues with overeating, that I understand. The opposite kind of seems freaky to me. No offense to any friends I have who struggle with undereating. It also starts out with a suicide which gets a thumbs down in my book. She is a talented writer, for sure, just too angsty perhaps. I think I would have loved this book in high school but as an adult I like fake, happy fairy tales.

I love the eccentric character of Stargirl and her compassionate nature. Spinelli brings her to life as he describes a girl entering Mica High School wearing pioneer clothing, carrying a big sunflower bag and owning a pet rat. Her individuality is celebrated, but as the reader, we know her nonconformity with bring her ridicule. This is a great book to use as a platform to discuss bullying and appreciation of differences. It also acts as a cataylst for random acts of kindness.

I really enjoyed this book - found it hard to put down. Was a little disappointed in the ending - seemed to be a lot of build up, for a very quick resolution. That being said I have recommended it to several people already. If you enjoy a story built around historical events this book will probably be one you enjoy.

Loved it! This might be my very favorite in the whole series. Sherlock and Mary are in San Fransisco to take care of Mary's properties. While there Mary starts to remember things from her past, things she'd chosen to forget. As they look into the death of Mary's family, they start to realize it may not have been an accident. I love the story, the setting, and as always , I LOVE Mary and Sherlock. King ventures outside her norm here and tells some of the story through a third person view, mostly following Sherlock. As much as I love Mary, it was a fun change. She also includes the character of Dashiell Hammett which made it super fun. I would suggest reading The Maltese Falcon or any of his Hammett's other books before reading this, just because it will make even more enjoyable. King did an excellent job channeling the classic PI lingo that Hammett made famous. If you feel the need to skip any of the other books in the series, you can read this one at any point, doesn't matter.

This took me, like, six weeks to read. I love the author, I loved the characters, but I did not like the plot. I wanted to see how they managed to get to the end, and every time I skipped ahead, it made no sense. It did mostly when I read it linearly, but meh. Too much like Jeremy and Natalie on Sports Night and I loathed that story.

Important and disturbing - the lack of objectivity in new media (blogs, talking heads, etc.), esp. in the face of the death of old media (RIP, Seattle P.I.)... (sigh)

Talk about book hype. TEMPEST was already stirring up a lot of buzz way back in September 2011 when I first heard about this book. The film rights had been sold to Summit Entertainment a long time ago. It seems like the publisher is pushing this book quite hard, so when I was given the chance to review it through NetGalley, I jumped at the chance. After all, I do love time travel. I honestly would have loved to see TEMPEST revolving more around the family dynamics rather than revolving around Holly. I loved Jackson as a protagonist, but to be honest, I just found his chemistry with Holly really lacking. We do see the evolution of their relationship but I just didn’t feel the spark between them. On the other hand, the moment that Jackson mentioned that he had a twin sister, I felt the love between the two siblings immediately. I think a novel revolving around Jackson and Courtney would have been more effective because of the stronger ties between them. Holly, I was not a fan of, but I liked Courtney immensely. Backtracking, I do like Jackson as a protagonist. There is a need for more male protagonists in the genre (and in my TBR pile…) so reading from a male perspective was refreshing. I like the fact that Jackson was 19 and in college. The majority of the novel does take place 2 years in the past so really the college scenes are minimal. I started out enjoying TEMPEST immensely. I am a big fan of time travel and I get excited whenever I hear about a new time travel book in YA. I was hooked into the novel straight from the beginning. At first, it was fun trying to figure out what was going on. After Holly is fatally shot, Jackson finds himself traveling back in time to 2007 instead of sticking around to find out what happens to Holly. 2007 is two years in the past and Holly and Jackson have not yet met. Jackson tries to adapt to his life back in 2007 and tries to figure out how to get back to the future. It was nearing towards the end of Jackson’s 2007 experience when everything went downhill for me. I like logic. One of the cool things about science fiction is that some authors have the ability to come up with such fantastic theories as to how some things such as time travel can work. I think that for a science fiction novel to truly work, it has to have some scientific accuracy or even realism. The theories have to make at least a little sense in the reader’s mind. I think some time travel stories can just skirt around explanations without having to dive through complex physics. And it can still work. (I’m thinking Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series here.) But if you’re going to attempt to nitpick at the science behind time travel, you have to have a concrete theory. You can’t just spew mumbo jumbo that contradicts itself a million times. One of my biggest problems with TEMPEST was that the theories behind time travel were just everywhere. I know that Jackson himself tells Holly (and I guess the readers) to abandon everything that you know about time travel. Easier said than done. Cross mixes in parallel universes on top of time travel and it just creates a huge mess. There is no linear timeline of events. There are so many parallel stories that by the end of the book, the first half of the novel essentially did not exist. It didn’t happen. At one point, I literally just stopped trying to make sense of the mess because it was just impossible. If I were to use TEMPEST as a textbook for time travel, I’d end up more confused than I was if I hadn’t tried to learn the theory. Bottom line, I did not love this book though I wish I had. The novel just became too convoluted to make sense logically. For me, it was over-hyped and just did not live up to my expectations. Why I’m Biased: I had very high expectations for this book and it just didn’t live up to it. I guess I also put certain expectations toward time travel novels.

The summer after I graduated from highschool, with nothing to really to do for three months except to pack the small number of material posessions I had managed to amass in my short time on earth for a 3,000 mile move to Bard College, I somehow got hooked on Clive Cussler. I think it was Jake Spavin's fault; I think he finished this book and passed it off to me. Cussler is adictive like salt and vineger chips, or movie-theater popcorn: you enjoy scarfing it down, then tell yourself to stop but don't, then feel sort of sick to your stomach. Then you keep eating it. Cussler is great because it took him until the second half on the 90s to realize the cold-war was over. Cyclops sees Dirk Pitt (has there ever been a better named action hero? Other than Wolf Blitzer, who should have done something other than host a show on CNN) squaring off against Cubans, Russians and other n'er-do-wells, all while scoring with amazingly hot women and driving fast cars. I feel more manly just typing that phrase. Cussler keeps the story clipping along, and althought it might all be empty calories, its very hard to stop snacking.

Distopya Vadeli İşlemleri her zaman eğlencelidir ve bu bir istisna değildir. Kıvrımlar ve dönüşler, kavga ve ölümle dolu bu kitap sizi saatlerce esaret altında tutacak. Kitaptaki çocukların sisteme daha fazla zarar vermesini dilemiş olsam da, çok keyif aldım. Bunun yakında bir sonrakinde olacağını umuyorum.
