Brief summary:I liked the beginning. I liked the end. I HATED the genre shift in the middle.

Well, this book did not turn out to be what I thought it was going to be about. I still read it, and "enjoyed" it. Hmm. Let's say I appreciated it instead. Anyway, there just seems to be a glut of fiction about serial killers and sociopaths lately, no? Especially in the YA section. I picked this up ...

I have to say that this book was excellent, practically Five Star worthy, for the first hundred pages. Then... uh. You kinda got hit with a "WTF?! WTF did I just READ?!" moment out of the clear BLUE. It all starts out kinda like:And you don't pay it any attention, like, "Yeah right~ Whatever~" But t...

Dan Wells has the cleverness of giving his book titles a double meaning of it. John wayne is a sociopath kid who has all the triad manifestation of being a potential serial killer. Now, being aware of it and he do all he can not to be one. As serial killings happens in his small town, John Wayne has...

This is another one that is hard for me to rate. Because of the summary I went into it thinking it was one thing, but it turned out to be completely different. If I was rating the book on what I thought it was going to be, I'd give it two stars. I'm disappointed that it didn't turn out to be what I ...

Well, this is another good book that I've read this year. It seems like I'm only reading good books, haha.Anyway, this one started slowly for me as well. I read 150 pages in like five days and then the next 150 pages I read in a night.It started out interesting, from the point of view of the sociopa...

There really isn't a good way to discuss my observations without disclosing some major plot spoilers, po...
