Is it legal to marry a book? If not, is anyone here immoral enough to see to it that that happens? I promise you, the relationship I have with Finnikin of The Rock is serious. We're in love (even if the book doesn't know it). I am currently thinking about grabbing the book, strutting it in front of...

Last summer I got this book from the library, read the prologue, and set it down in favour of something else. There was something about the prologue that didn’t catch my attention, but I figured I would give it another shot later, and after seeing good things about it on tumblr I gave it it’s second...

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.Melina Marchetta and I go way back. I have always loved the way she has written and the world she creates. It was true for this book as well.However, the characters and their relationships just did not do it for me in this book. Maybe if I were to read it again, some other time,...

I've read one Melina Marchetta's book and I didn't like it. So I've kinda been avoiding reading her books, but this sounds good.

Oh what a treasure! I don't know where my head was after my first attempt to read this, but I'm glad I gave it another shot!Wow, what an adventure! The story had me gripping in my seat with anticipation! I wanted to know what happened, where it happened, why it happened, and how it was going to cont...

70% of this book is incredible, but its bookended by way too much bullshit whining from the title character. Good God, between him constantly drawing ridiculous conclusions and needing every fucking person in the world to explain how he's yet again wrong, and the whole "no father could bear to see h...

I was sure this would be a 5 star review, but about 3/4 of the way through it just didn't make me feel like my other 5 starers. Maybe I was looking for another Graceling Realm, I'm not sure. I can see how this is a favorite among people, but there were a few things that just didn't sit well with me:...

What the heck did I just read? To be exact, what the heck did Lisa give me to read? Because among the many adjectives swimming in my head right now, one of them would be that Finnikin of the Rock rocks! Though I have to admit it was hard to digest it at first as there were so many characters to reme...

I honestly didn't feel like there was anything to like about this book. Story was just convenient and easy and shit was pulled out of thin air. Characters were one-dimensional and cliched. In addition to that, the male characters were total sexist douchebags--not including the attempted rapist becau...
