Clear, useful review of current research on learning and how to apply it in the classroom. Nothing earth shattering here, but I will use material from it.

Too long. Lots of enjoyable bits but I wanted less.

This was a very pleasant read - I'm impatient with romance, which was problematic since it was advertised as a romantic fantasy and the romance was definitely a major part of the story, but I appreciated the characters and the little bit of court politics included.

These books are so weird and I'm almost hate reading them, but I have #4 on my bedside table ...

4.5 stars. I'm annoyed that I didn't read with a pencil and stickies. Wolitzer has some spectacular sentences that I want to share.
