This tried too hard to replicate the thrills of the first book. The first half of the book dragged and the second half of the book was just okay. The ending felt rushed.

I enjoyed listening to this book. The characters came to life and were well developed. I can't wait to start the next book to hear more of Blue and the Raven Boys quest. The plot twist had me reeling and caught me off guard.

An entertaining book and a great story about the bond between sisters.

Practical advice for teachers. Some of the chapters got a little lengthy and I would lose interest at times.

Very enjoyable book. A bit predictable at times. I enjoyed Susan's growth from the beginning to the end. Parts of it made me laugh out loud.

I really enjoyed this book. It was slow to start, but after about 100 pages it really picked up the pace and kept me hooked. I enjoyed both Tella and Scarlett's growth throughout the trilogy. A satisfying ending to and entertaining story. This was my favorite book of the series.

Quick read. Good ideas for teaming in schools, especially schools getting started with teaming.

A gripping and thrilling second book! I enjoyed this one much more than A Wife Between Us. Well developed characters and writing that kept you on the edge of your seat.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Kate Mulgrew and loved it. NOS4A2 reminded me of early Stephen King (which makes complete sense seeing as King is Joe Hill's father). Great narration and character development. Overall, I enjoyed this book.

Very enjoyable book aimed at parents, teachers and administrators. It had great advice for everyone. To me, the best part was then end where Mr. Brooks compiled lists of advice from other well know educators and administrators. I'd recommend this to all my educator friends.

This was a super quick read that I really wanted to enjoy. I've enjoyed Eddie's videos and as a teacher, relate to them. This book was too brief-I wish he had expanded on some of the topics more instead of glossing over them. He does have some good advice for teachers, both veteran and new.

Such a beautifully written book. This is about more than dealing with a blended family, it's also about growing up with a blended heritage and figuring out who you are when you come from two very different backgrounds. I loved this book and will be recommending it to my middle school students.

Very gripping book full of twists and turns. Enjoyed it very much.

Edited-giving it 3.5 stars. I just finished the authors second book which I found much more thrilling and gripping. Still enjoyed this one.

I love Jodi Picoult and have probably read close to everything that she has written. That being said, this was not one of my favorite books of hers. I was not crazy about starting at the end of the story and working to the beginning and how the whole situation at the clinic started. I also didn't make a connection to any of the characters, they all fell flat to me. Finally, the epilogue left me highly dissatisfied; I found myself wanting to know more about what happened to the characters after the event.

This was probably my favorite of the 3 books. The ending was a complete surprise! Good ending to a good triology.

Very much enjoyed this book. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Monday's Not Coming is a book that had me curious and intrigued the whole time I was reading it. Due to that intrigue and wanting to know what happened next, I read this in about 6 hours (it probably helped that I started reading it at 4:30 AM due to some insomnia). The only thing that bothered me about the book was the timeline-it jumped from Before to After to One Year Before The Before and it was hard to keep everything straight as I was reading. The characters were well developed. Overall, I enjoyed the book and will probably go back and re-read to see what I missed from reading it so fast the first time.

This was not my favorite book by Liane Moriarty. It was very slow for the first two thirds of the book and then got interesting in the last third. I didn't think there was much character development and they all remained static to me.

This was a fun book to listen to. I liked Ove's growth and development throughout the book. It made me laugh, cry and feel frustrated. The synopsis of the book doesn't do it justice. Another book I would recommend.

Cute book and quick read.

James Rollins is always good for a fun, exciting read. I found this book to be similar to Dan Brown's Origins in the topics and themes explored. With that said, this was action packed and had me on the edge of my seat. I did feel like the ending was slightly rushed (maybe that was just me though). Overall, very entertaining and fun.

This book left me breathless. The descriptions of the wilderness and the struggle the main character endured were beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I was in tears and one point and 5 pages later ready to throw my phone across the room I was so mad. I can see why this book is highly recommended-the writing stays with you for a long time. I'll be thinking and turning this book over for a while.

Finally! I finally finished this book-I feel like I've been reading it forever, even though it's only been a month. This book dragged to me. It didn't have the same magic as the first book. The characters weren't as developed as in the first book. Overall, it was just OK.

A fantastic follow up to The Hate You Give! Parts of this book had me in tears. I loved the growth of Bri throughout the book. I can't wait to recommend this to my friends and students.

This was a fun book to read. I felt it dragged on at times and didn't quite capture my interest as much as the first book.
