This is the first book that I have read by Jeff Hirsch, and I admit that while snatching books from my local library's shelves, the cover drew me in. It's bold, it's eye-catching, and the tagline on the back cover-- “EVERYTHING YOU'VE BEEN TOLD IS A LIE” sealed the deal. The book is a curious hybr...
This book was sooooooooo boring. I really don’t have much to say about it, so this review should be short. Admittedly, the book started off well. I initially quite liked heroine Glenn, until I got to know her a little. I liked her ambition and her dreams of a better future. But I quickly realiz...
Reviewed at http://www.mandikayereads.com/archives/3117 (6/17/13)How I wish I had better things to say about this book. I was so excited about it! This is one of the books I picked up at BEA 2012 and, though it took me forever to read it, it was one that I had high hopes for. Science fiction and fan...
Initial reaction: My second read from Jeff Hirsch in "Magisterium" definitely lacked a bit of finesse and progression. I had a hard time caring about the characters and the plot often had rough transitions that made it a more difficult read than it had to be. It's a shame because there were many ...
Back in September, I went to Austin Teen Book Festival. Jeff Hirsch was the moderator for a panel. He spoke a little about his book, and I thought it sounded interesting. But I mostly purchased this book based on the cover. It is beautiful and creepy all at the same time. So, of course I had to...
The plot is familiar you may have seen this before but writer Hirsch still manages to create a rich detailed world beyond the rift. Colloquim, our world is plausible with all the technological advances in a hundred years who knows where humanity’s progress maybe. Hirsch’s world entertains one noti...
My first DNF of the year. I simply cannot make myself care about the characters but I think more than that, I will not like a main character who sells out her dad. I mean, she cannot have been stupid enough not to realize that her going to another adult and telling that adult her father has had a me...
This and other reviews can be found on Reading Between ClassesCover Impressions: The cover is kind of cool and I like the image of the cloak made up of birds, however, it didn't really entice me. There is something about the face that doesn't quite match up with the creepy feel that I believe they ...
If you look up at the top, you will see that I really couldn't decide what genre to put this book in. Of course it's young adult. But as for the rest...well, there are some dystopian elements, especially in the beginning, but most of all, I think this is a fantasy. It's not quite high fantasy, but i...
