Clearly I have fallen so far from regular book-blogging, because I had never even heard of this book until my aunt handed it to me and wanted me to read it and let her know what I thought. I searched for reviews and saw so many out there I realized I must be missing a pretty big read. Of course, I w...

'Cube' and 'The Matrix' meet 'Regency House Party.' Weird and wonderful. Full review to come.

3.5 stars. There were definitely a lot of issues, but the writing style and narration were pretty good, so nowhere near as horrific as Halo.

It may have been my bad mood, but somehow, this one drove me a little more batty. I can't quite put my finger on it - too contrived? too weird? (that's usually not a problem for me) Oh well.

Incarceron is an entertaining science fiction and fantasy novel for younger readers. There are some deep questions raised and some curious motifs that I noted. Ultimately however the tone and style of righting let down the ideas within for me however and I found it rather dry, dull and having an uns...

I got this book a couple of years ago, and didn't get more than 50 pages into it before I got bored and put it aside. But I decided to give it another shot this time, and I did enjoy it. Not normally a fan of YA books (other than Harry Potter, which I don't really consider YA at all), or of fantasy...
