WONDERFUL!!!!

Victor knocked this book out of the park. From beginning to end the book kept me engaged in nearly brought me to tears at times. This book is incredibly relevant considering today's political climate surrounding gun control. His characters are refreshing, hilarious, and just plain real. There were so many twists and turns in this book but I was never bored and I never wanted to put it down. One thing that I enjoyed the most was the complexity of their relationships between the characters. They reflected a lot of their relationships that I have in my own life so it was wonderful to be able to relate to them. I look forward to reading more of Victor's books, his ability to create fiction based off of his real life experiences is absolutely amazing and I look forward to diving into another one of his novels.

Very sad and touching book. Learning about our parent's pasts changes the way we view them and ourselves. This book was beautifully drawn and even poetic at times. It's definitely a title that will stay on my bookshelf to be read again.

Whew, buddy. A lovely book about a father and son and all of the difficulty that comes with familial relationships. It was incredibly wordy and often times became confusing and tedious to read. I had to put it down for a while and pick it back up later to get more energy to finish. Was it the greatest novel ever? No. Did it open my mind to new works, phrases, and styles of writing? Absolutely. I would recommend for readers who want a slow-paced historical novel to read in their spare time.

Thought-provoking and eerie! It reminded me a bit of the ending of SOMA (the video game). Short story horror at its best.

Truly touching and amazing book. I usually hate the novels that I have to read for school but this one was spectacular. It also raises the question: will we ever be accepting of clones in the future?

Where do I start? This book is terribly unrealistic. Yes, I know that it is a Dystopian novel, but C'MON. Who leaves a 17-year-old girl in charge of an ENTIRE SOCIETY? And who has 3 guys vying for their attention at all times? Gaia went from a wonderfully brave heroine in Birthmarked to a sappy, whiny, stupid, immature little girl in Promised. I was sad that this trilogy took a turn for the worse and I highly doubt I'll be reading anymore of Mrs. O'Brien's series ever again.

I absolutely loved [b:Birthmarked 6909544 Birthmarked (Birthmarked, #1) Caragh M. O'Brien https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1317066757s/6909544.jpg 7134814] because it was about a strong girl who took control of her own destiny. Prized is like that, except a bit... dumber. This story follows Gaia after she escapes the Enclave and goes into the Wasteland. She finds a strange society and it completely changes her entire life. I loved everything except the romance. Seriously, a love square? Yawn. Other than the stupid boys and Gaia's overzealous feelings for them, this book has a wonderful plot and is beautifully written. I hope the third book, [b:Promised 13010211 Promised (Birthmarked, #3) Caragh M. O'Brien https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1330546217s/13010211.jpg 18171867], is just as great!

This libro was very cute and fast paced. I love the LGBTQ lingo and the adorable characters. However, if the devil is in the details, then the devil is non existent in this book. There is little description of anything and an overwhelming amount of awkward, choppy transitions. I would give it 3/5 stars, but his book was just so... cute! I'll give it another star because of the wonderful ending!

This is a short, but powerful connecting story. O'Brien writes in such a way that you personally feel all the emotions that the characters feel. Nonetheless, I really like Leon and I hope he finds Gaia in Prized!

I absolutely loved this novel. It's takes you all throughout the political process (including the scandal, sex, drama, alliances, and lies) and how it affects presidential candidates and the people around them. This book kept me on my toes like no other and I surprisingly found myself falling in love (and hate) with many of the characters. Patterson's detailed and elegant writing is just the icing on the cake. If you love politics, and even if you don't, this book will change your perspective on life, love, and our insanely complex political system.

I had to read and analyze this for school, so I wasn't too thrilled about that... However, I loved the Knight's Tale, and I thought the Miller's Tale was hilarious. Great collection of stories overall!

Good, crazy and very terrifying. Atwood's detail leads the reader into a word that NONE of us want to live in. I had to read this for my English class, and I don't regret it at all!

The beginning was boring, but the character development and ending were amazing!

Loved the use of metaphors! Some parts were very boring and many of the characters we're two-dimensional, but the writing makes up for it.

WONDERFUL. Very, very inspirational. I would recommend this book for anyone who has every felt discouraged or worthless. You can achieve anything if you put your heart and soul into it.

I loved this book. Given, it did start off slow, but this book ended up being a page-turner! I am definitely looking forward to reading the next one.

It was inspiring. It was joyful. It was strange. It was lustful. It was realistic. It was heartbreaking. It was shocking. It was enraging. It was amusing. Most of all, it was well-written and tailored to the ever-changing, ever-curious soul of a reader.

Very nice! It compiled everything I needed to know into very organized bullet points and chapters. I also loved the helpful charts and practice test. Perfect for last-minute studying and cramming!

It was alright. [a:Maggie Stiefvater 1330292 Maggie Stiefvater http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1268241579p2/1330292.jpg] seemed to fall off at bit after writing [b:Shiver 6068551 Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) Maggie Stiefvater http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328839272s/6068551.jpg 6244926]. This book was mostly boring and loaded with cheesy, unbelievable romance up until the last 5 chapters. I would have stopped reading early on, but it was the last book in the trilogy and I just had to find out what happened. Why do I give it 3 stars? Mrs. Stiefvater has a magical way of telling a story. She describes the characters, feelings and scenery like she was actually there. [b:Forever 9409458 Forever (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #3) Maggie Stiefvater http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1285771367s/9409458.jpg 6961290] is a boring, yet beautifully written book that I will never read again. I would definitely recommend it for older teens that are into lovey dovey type literature.

[a:Jessica Warman 2921810 Jessica Warman http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-F-50x66.jpg] did it again. This book was BEAUTIFUL and incredibly hard to put down. It was not dull for a moment. The main character (Emily) experiences changes that are about as life-changing and terrifying as it can get. More than anything, this book has inspired me. The challenges we face can be overcome with the right amount of effort and support from people who love you. Nothing makes me happier than a story that leaves you with something to think about. I will definitely be reading this book again.

I really enjoyed this heavily detailed, thoughtful, sentimental little charm of a book. It was definitely not on the same level of awesomeness (for lack of a better word) as [b:Shiver 6068551 Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) Maggie Stiefvater http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328839272s/6068551.jpg 6244926], but it possessed its own set of wonderful qualities. The beginning starts off very slowly and things don't really get interesting until the end, so keep reading. It WILL get better!

I was only in 5th grade when i read this, but I remember it giving me a new outlook on life. Breathtaking, amazing, and detailed!

AMAZING ❤️ As someone who suffers from depression, this book really changed the way that I view myself and the things I am capable of. And this book really does show the importance of having a good support system in a cute and colorful way!

Very very wild plot!! But short and has wonderful artwork.

Read it for class. Dry, but insightful.
