So the amazing part about having read this book has nothing to do with the book itself. It was a personal achievement of finishing a 500-page long book in a day like I used to in the good old days. I thought I had lost that talent but it was just me being over-dramatic In short: About the Book:...
Loved this not sure why its taken me so long to get around to it. Vampires and Frankenstein. Do I need to say more? This is a glorious take on vampire tales, Dept 19 having existed in the shadows for years - Cue young Jamie Carpenter getting all caught up in the shenanigans by virtue of his family c...
The three star rating is not the book's fault. This was not the right book to read for the mood I was in. I will be recommending it to the boys - there is lots of action and thrills. And they may not tire of the moody teenager like I did!
I didn't finish this, but not because it isn't a good book. I was able to get it from Netgalley, and I wanted to read what it was about. I really liked it, and as others have said, it is a boy book for sure. I didn't finish it though, because I kind of got the gist of what it was about, and exact...
3.5/5Oh My God, this is such a boyish book! Gadgets and explosions aplenty, gore, combat and bullets, monsters and manly talk... You name it, it's there.I did surprise myself by really enjoying it.

There's a little Van Helsing, Dracula, and Frankenstein (but they're not major characters) It was a little all over the place for a bit as far as telling the...

3.5 stars/Enjoyable. Took me a long time to read because I've been so busy, but it was a great book!------Review here: http://www.booksofamber.com/2012/04/department-19-by-will-hill.htmlThis book wasn't entirely what I was expecting. I was looking forward to an Alex Rider type novel with vampires, b...
Equal parts fun, gory and brutal. This is a very good debut that loses a star for some ridiculously obvious telegraphing and some bizarre abuses of perspective. The next one looks like it will probably involve a love-triangle as well...
