Via http://onlectus.blogspot.com/2013/04/empty-by-k-m-walton.htmlI loved Walton previous book, Cracked . I don't know what happened to her with Empty.This book exaggerates too much in an attempt, I think, to make you like it. Walton says that she wants this book to be an example but she failed mise...

These are the types of books that teenagers can get something out of....

(This review was originally posted at My Library in the Making.)Let me tell you one thing about this book: it is not about hope or enlightening. Not even a tad bit. It aims - at least I think it does - to grab the reader's heart and plug in a wire to connect with it, to unmask Dell's disappointments...

4.5/5An eerie collection of stories adapted from famous Mother Goose Rhymes, Two and Twenty Dark Tales gave me chills and some of the stories will haunt me for some time! It's amazing how authors have subverted the nature of the rhymes to something even darker than I could have ever imagined, and th...
