Flying Kick-a-pow!
Flying Kick-a-pow! rated it 14 years ago
So I haven't really posted a review in, like, a week or so. Actually, I don't know how long it's been. But it feels like forever. It also feels like forever since I actually read this, since it was like three weeks ago. Errrm. I'll have to wrack my brains to remember everything I was going to say. A...

Summary:Though she tries returning to the life she knew before the accident, Pierce can't help but feel at once a part of this world, and apart from it. Yet she's never alone . . . because someone is always watching her. Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you ba...

3.5 stars. The story was significantly better whenever John was involved.

Wow, this was different! For me, for Meg Cabot. Just different. I read it pretty fast when I got a chance to sit down and read it. That means it wasn't tortuously long, but it did seem to drag a little bit. I felt that more time had to have gone by considering how many events occur. However, she doe...

After reading Abandon, I have come to the conclusion that YA authors should avoid writing about Greek mythology, especially the very popular Hades and Persephone story. The Goddess Test was atrocious, The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker almost gave me conniptions and the latest additio...

This was AWESOME! Yes, I know I only gave it four stars, and I'll explain that later on, but this was by far an awesome mix of Greek mythology, which I love, and YA genre.I have grown to appreciate and adore the Greek mythologies, ever since middle school when I had to translate a Latin version of t...

I have to say, this was sooo not what I was expecting from a Meg Cabot book. That said, I really enjoyed it. Bummed that I have to wait a year for Underworld to come out.

Woo hoo for me finally getting the time to finish this book (and by 'getting time', I mean staying up until 4AM this morning because once I had started it, I simply could not put it down). I had to know what was going to happen to Pierce and who the heck John was!From the synopsis of the book (and m...

So, this was a pleasant surprise! (Well, it's Meg Cabot, of course I'm going to enjoy it on some level.) Actually, what took me by surprise was the fact that it's very specifically stated that John is not supposed to Hades, and it is a take on the Hades/Persephone myth. That said- I liked Pierce, sh...
