This was okay. It was pretty bleak almost all the way through, and I didn't really like any of the characters.

My only complaint (ha!) was that every essay was too short.

Loved it! Probably not my favorite of her books, but since she is one of my FAVORITE authors, that's not saying much. :)

This was great! Lots of fun to read. Hope there's going to be a sequel.

I liked this a lot. The author was very matter-of-fact, which made everything she said even more believable and horrific.

Tons of fun. Very sad there won't be a sequel.

Slow going at first, but I did like it a lot. A bit too much sex for me.

Half of the book (or so) was narrated by the dog. What more could you want? The dog doesn't even die in the end.

I like the beginning a lot, but not the end where it became more dystopian and lyrical.

I really, really enjoyed this–especially the story of how she met her husband. The stories were a bit disjointed, but I didn't really mind.

I liked it a lot, but not as much as Wildwood. It was too dark for me in the beginning. But the MOLES made up for everything.

This book was perfect. Funny, moving, meaningful, all without being smarmy.

I enjoyed this, but it's hard to believe everything that the author says, since she's obviously biased. However, if conditions are even half as bad as she says, that's still pretty awful.

A good, solid kids' book. Not one of my favorites, but nothing wrong with it. Good sounding recipes.

This was great–I loved the author/main character conversations, and the way all the books mentioned off-handedly were really books (and cited at the end).

This book was a strange combination of hardboiled detective novel, romance, and a search for the meaning of life. The ending was a bit strange.

Love Jasper Fforde.

Very interesting . Lance sure comes across as a big jerk.

I especially loved the transformation in the ending.

Great–I loved it, especially as it takes place in LA (partially) and we were in LA when I read it, and the main character has Type 1 diabetes. Only thing I didn't like is that the author was obviously a man trying to write a woman in first person–she just wasn't all that believable.

I just love Terry Pratchett, and especially Tiffany Aching. This had lots of the Feegles, which is a big bonus.

Fluff, but satisfying and fun fluff.

Typical Barbara Kingsolver–good plot, lots of preaching, fantastic language, phrases that make you smile because they're so, so good.

Loved this book. I finished it yesterday (in one sitting, because I couldn't put it down) and can't stop thinking about it today. The way the characters fell in love was so realistic–not your typical “I have a crush on this person because he's cute even though I've never talked to him” teen book. Off to buy her others from Amazon, since our library doesn't have them.

Enjoyed this a lot, though the main character started to annoy me a bit.
