I thought Eclipse was better than New Moon in some ways, but still didn't have the same impact as Twilight. Despite the ever-growing number of pages, I read through this one pretty quickly. I was a bit disappointed in the confrontation...I was looking for that part of the plot to be a bit longer, have more detail, be more exciting or something. I thought the end of the book was sped through a bit too quickly. Meyer could have added a bit more so that the ending wouldn't have felt rushed; I mean, what's another 15-25 pages in addition to 629? I would have read it.



And I'm glad that there was at least some sort of resolution between Bella and Jacob....though I'm still a bit confused about their relationship and why Bella was acting so whiny and confused in herself.... I guess I can understand the bit about how they're “human world” soul mates, etc....but I never really liked Jacob all that much, so I suppose I'm a bit biased and in favor of Edward XD



And even though Bella's attitude at the end bothered me, I'm glad that she can maybe think about someone else beside herself and let Alice do something that will make her happy. I just wish that Bella would be a little more sincere about it. Oh well.

I think that Prisoner of Azkaban is one of my top HP books...it takes a slightly different direction in the plotline...I don't know, I just really enjoy this one more than the other six :)

One of my absolute, all-time favorite books ever, hahaha. Seriously, a good book. Sarah Dessen in general is a great author.

Had to read “Yellow Wall-Paper” for lit class...very short story, but great. There was a whole lot of creepy creeping going on, hahaha; but in all seriousness, good tale about women and their struggles against society.

This book was actually a pretty good read. The cover is what initially caught my eye (I know, that's not what you should judge on...); there are also really great illustrations at each chapter. There's a bit of adventure, mystery, suspense, and stuff about plants, Brazilian natives and wacky creatures...a different book, but still good.

A very good read; pretty quick, easy read, yet the style of writing was nice and relaxed, kind of like swimming in syrup...I watched the movie a few times first and of course there were some changes....think I like the book better.

Overall the book wasn't too shabby; I just thought that the glorification of the song “Yesterday” was a tad over the top.

Class-assigned reading. I did not like the ending, but overall it was ok.

I had to read this one for lit class, but I would not read it again.

Although a little difficult to get into at first, I really ended up enjoying this novel. It was interesting to hear the different points of view from the two main characters, one written in letter form and the other in simple bursts of thought. I liked how social expectations were reviewed and scrutinized by Abraham, and how he grew as a person as his time in Pegu passed. I also loved the overall historical setting, not something that is covered in many history classes.

I read this maybe five years ago, and I really enjoyed it....planning on reading it again soon!



edit Charlie's story is so endearing...sad but hopeful at the same time. Awesome book.

I'll just cover the whole series in one go: they're great. Adventure, adventure, adventure; a little futuristic face-changing, bubbliness, hoverboards, spag-bol, and rusties. Wonderful series.

It may be a “good book,” but I found it completely depressing...

I was a little wary of reading this at first...all the hype and rabid fan-girls were somewhat off-putting. But now that I've read it, I can honestly say that I'm a huge fan :) Stephenie Meyers' writing style is immensely easy to get into; the story is nicely paced, not too fast or slow. And oh mah gawd: Edward. Overall I really enjoyed reading Twilight and can't wait to get my hands on New Moon.

It's been a while since I read this one, but I do remember that the ending could have been a lot better. A certain character dies...gasp!...and it just didn't end the way I wanted it to...

Hmmm....this one was just ok. My favorite sections were those by Eoin Colfer, Nick Hornby, Tim Wynne-Jones, and Greg Maguire. Definitely different from any books I've read recently.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as Twilight, but it was still ok....I liked the bit where they travel to Italy and deal with the Volturis. Now that Jacob's a werewolf I think I'll get annoyed of him....meh. Prefer the Cullens, without a doubt :D

I've finally finished reading it.

...

wow.



:D

I definitely would have given up on this book had it not been assigned reading. It was difficult to fall into, but was enjoyable in its own way.



I was a bit disappointed with what happened to Darl, but overall the ending fit the family perfectly.



One odd book...

Wacky, weird, thoroughly enjoyable...The Fat Growth on Eric Hearble and I Sat Belonely are my two favs.

Blech. According to my Kindle, I'm 75% through....but I just don't think I can go any further. Writing is okay, but man, has the plot become boring. Not believable enough for me and the author seems to be trying to develop a love triangle. A dystopian YA book with a love triangle. Not cliche at all...

Sooo slow. And pulling too much from HP, sorry.

DNF at 177 pages. Dull, one dimensional characters. Hated Loreda and felt like the way she spoke sounded too modern for 1934.

DNF at p.183. Awful. Boring.

Big ‘ol DNF at page 124. Boring, dull, repetitive.
