It took me awhile to figure out what was going on in this book. There are related stories from the past and present being told at the same time. Also, the present has a lot of different aspects. It all connects and wraps up beautifully. Even though it wasn’t immediate love, since it took a bit fo...
This book has phenomenal reviews on Goodreads, so I guess I’m in the minority for not loving it. Seventeen-year-old Taylor is the leader of the secret “territory wars” that happen every year between the students at her boarding school, the teenagers in the nearby town, and the Cadets who camp near...
Everybody loves this book. I have absolutely no idea why. It annoyed me so much I feared for the health of my poor e-reader, as it was close to being hurled across the room several times. This was at least twice as long as it needed to be, it was freaking obvious who all the grown-ups in Taylor's ...
I have books collecting dust on my shelf that I tell myself over and over again that I need to read. "Today will be the day," I tell myself. Instead, I pick up a book I've read numerous times but still feels like a fire truck rammed itself into my stomach each time I reach the ending. Jellicoe R...

ATTENTION: Please exit this page if you have an aversion to excessive gushing! When a fellow blogger said that Melina Marchetta gave her the feels, I wasn’t convinced. I didn’t know that an author named Melina Marchetta existed until I started blogging and reading a lot of awesome things about her w...
This book. This book. The only reason I kept reading past the hundredth page was because I kept telling myself that if I paid a week’s worth of savings for a book, I was damn well going to finish it. Jellicoe Road was frustrating, confusing and its narrative was deliberately hard to follow. I fo...
Wow. This book is just simply stunning. It was a mix of touching, heart breaking, hilarious and just raw emotion. I cannot express how much I loved this piece of writing. In fact, I think this comes close with how much I love Zusak's 'The Book Thief', which, I assure you, I love very, very much.Marc...
Esto es lo más parecido a realismo mágico que he leído en un YA, y me encantó! La pregunta es: ¿en qué pensaba la gente de Hollywood cuando decidieron hacer la película de Looking for Alaska y no de esto? No me lo puedo explicar. Las escenas de "guerra", el suspenso, el romance, la amistad, los pers...
