Continues Leviathan. This is a pleasure to read--clear, compelling, and funny. Again, the illustrations are quite fine. A hatching egg brings political intrigue, and we learn more about Darwinists.
When I read Leviathan, I thought that the first half was like a giant prologue, just introduction to the world, the premise, and the characters. Then the second half of the book was spent getting the two main characters to be in the same place at the same time and heading in the same direction. Thin...
There’s not a whole lot more I can say here that I haven’t already said in my review for Leviathan, the first in this trilogy by Mr. Westerfeld. Like its predecessor, Behemoth got me thinking a lot about the circumstances leading up to World War I, enough so that I did a lot of research while readi...
A good follow up to the first book. Lots of historical events woven into the narrative. Kids who read this will do well in European History classes I predict.
I thought that it would be a pretty hard task to follow up on such an exciting book as Leviathan, but this Behemoth was everything I could have wanted in a sequel. The intrigue and adventures have stepped up a notch and so have all the secrets flying about, but Westerfeld (who is fast on the way of ...
Behemoth is the second book in Westerfeld's WWI steampunk Clankers vs Darwinists alt-U romp. It's packed full of Bechdelicious goodness, from the main character (a cross-dressing midship(wo)man for the Darwinists), to a Turkish anarchist revolutionary, to a rather splendid and dapper "lady boffin" a...
In the second book in the Leviathan series, Behemoth takes our two main protagonists far apart from each other on their separate, but no less important, missions. Dealing with blackmail, dangerous mini-missions, betrayal, and the Behemoth, the giant beast that swallows airships whole. This is my lea...
Alek and Deryn grow closer in their friendship and much to Deryn/Dylan’s horror, she worries about feeling more than that. Near the last half of B, someone else enters the picture. (Let's just say that that was different.) One of the funnier parts of the book was when Deryn thinks she's going to get...
Tra la la la la. Well, I honestly don't have much to say. I feel like I've probably exhausted the whole "OMG I LOVE SCOTT WESTERFELD AND EVERYTHING HE WRITES" thing, but *shrugs* OMG I LOVE SCOTT WESTERFELD AND EVERYTHING HE WRITES. I can't say that this series is my favorite of his … I still love ...
