So I generally reserve 5 star reviews for a both that was both excellent *and* I'm likely to want to reread. In this case, it's not necessarily that I'm likely to pull this down off the shelf over and over again, but that it was a truly remarkable book. Told in 17 points of view, this is the story...
An uneven collection of stories detailing the events leading to a school shooting and exploring the psychology behind the shooter, Kirby Matheson. Unfortunately, the least successful of the bunch (including one from the perspective of the gun itself as it opines about purpose and morality while maki...
Ann Angel has assembled a collection of short stories about "secret selves" from a variety of YA authors, from established ones like Chris Lynch and Ellen Witlinger, to debut authors. Some of the secrets are obvious ones teens would face, like their sexual activities or their outsider quirks. A few ...
Painfully powerful. Disturbing in all the right ways, this story is so raw, so real, that you will either devour it or throw it away in a fit of sobs. Want to know what this book is about? Think Columbine. Think Umpqua Community College. Told from 17 points of view, this book is an enthralling acco...
Incredibly powerful storytelling with a consistent tone despite the 18 different authors. One of the best contemporary books I've ever read, and highly recommended. Each story is very well written, and while told from different perspectives, keeping the story straight is easy because of the quality ...
Spoiler Rating: High Hey Ashers, This is not the book for you. Books have a goal in life, and it's to mercilessly manipulate a reader's emotions. The number of emotions I felt while reading Tantalize: zero. However, it does offer some fine examples of How Not To Write, as well as Things That...
70 authors contribute stories to this anthology about their experiences with bullying as victims, bullies, or observers. Normally for anthologies I go through each story separately, but I’d feel weird about doing that with this book since these are all personal stories the authors are contributing...
I enjoyed this book but not as much as I thought I would. It's very short, but I found the story difficult to follow. That could be because I read it in several short bursts over the course of two days, but it seemed like the town meeting fell out of the sky. Was there any set up for that before i...
While the concept sounded good, a vampire themed restaurant with campires and werewolves and a love triangle but it ends up being somewhat of a letdown, for me at least. I didn't see that Quincie was falling in love with the vampire, interested, a little attracted but not really falling for her. T...
This is a spin-off of a series I never read. As a new reader it had a really steep learning curve that I probably fell off of. There were a lot of things I didn't get. I'm thinking this was a book for the fans so that's more my problem then the novels. I liked the three characters and they felt real...
