2.5 stars, rounded down because of the terrible ending. I really didn't enjoy it. It didn't flow well between flashbacks and present day. I didn't like or understand Pierce. Her motives, whatever was 'wrong' with her, it was all a bit jumbled. I suppose she has two more books to explain things, but ...

Oh goodness… what happened? I know this book was only 290-odd pages of story, so I wasn’t expecting a beefy read, but it could have been executed so much better. Needless to say, I will not be getting the other books in this planned trilogy. As I’ve said before on the blog, it’s about a girl calle...

original post: http://totallybookalicious.blogspot.com/2011/09/abandon-abandon-1-by-meg-cabot.htmlI have never read a Meg Cabot book in my life (I know where I have been right? ) Her books never really caught my interest. Until I see this one. I thought the cover was stunning and the description sou...

This review can also be found on my blog.I haven’t read much by Meg Cabot, except the first few Princess Diaries book, but I always hear a lot about how great and fun her writing style is. She’s certainly written a LOT of books, and they always seem to get a LOT of attention, so I thought I’d try ou...

Reading books as well written and intriguing as this one, only reminds me of why I hate reading a trilogy or series that has yet to be completed or at least already has the 2nd and third book out! That being said this was an excellent 1st book to this trilogy. I really loved it. It had me from page ...

Apparently, unbeknownst to me, this was a retelling of the story of Persephone, but I won't be able to really compare or critique on that point because I haven't read the classic story (I know I'm lame); I only know the very basic -queen of the underworld- myth and as I read a few of the reviews I'v...

An interesting take on the Persephone story. A little slow at first, but I found myself getting into the story more and more.Not bad, but not great.

Synopsis pretty much says it all. This is another retelling of Greek myth about Persephone which left me disappointed.I haven't read a YA book by Meg Cabot before, only some of her contemporary and historical romances, and her heroines have always been extremely witty, funny, charming and clumsy.Pie...
