Another ingenious steampunk novel with various mechanical contraptions, weapons and marvelous beasties. I'm not much of a history buff but I like Westerfield's interpretation of WWI. The story is interesting, action-packed and just plain fun to read. I like Deryn's scenes much better than Alek's (...
review buffet✥A Review in the Classic StyleBehemoth is the second book in Westerfeld's steampunk adventure series for the little ones. It continues at breakneck pace, following its plucky young protagonists as they hurtle through misadventure, politics, and just the teensiest bit of lovelorn longing...
First of all, I want to apologize to everyone for the very long absence I've had on this site. I've recently moved and in the procedure, I completed Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan Trilogy completely.

I wish I could give this book six stars. This series is so fantastic. I love the adventure! It makes me feel like I'm twelve and watching one of those swashbuckling disney flicks for the first time. The author has created an incredible world that feels more real every time I read it. The charact...

But the escape plan goes wrong. Alone in the streets on Istanbul, ...
As good as Leviathan, if not even better. Alek's finally coming off as not completely flat, although I still don't really care for his character; Deryn's parts of the adventures were as thrilling and exciting as I could have wished for. And I'm rather enjoying the way it ties in with the "real" hist...
Every book should have illustrations drawn by the illustrious (heh.) Keith Thompson AND have Huxleys in them. And lorises. And huxleys. Did I say that already? Favourite character in this book? Well our ravishing Count Volger sweeps away all the prizes just for having such a moustache and such such...
