This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.I really enjoyed reading this book. This book first got my attention with its eye-catching cover and great title. After reading the book's description, I knew that I had to give this book a try and I am glad that I did. Once I started re...
October 29- December 11 Seventeen-year-old Tess Fowler has just dropped out of high school. She can barely function after learning of Jonah’s death. Jonah, the boy she’d traded banter with over texts and heartfelt e-mails. Jonah, the first boy she'd told she loved and the first boy to say it back. J...
These little excerpt books are great, and totally can be 'game-changers'. This features five highly-anticipated Fall 2017 Release YA books, and I read this, thanks to NetGalley. I would say it was a game-changer for me, as I changed my mind about some books I'd set my sights on from reading this...-...
In many regards, The House of Tomorrow isn't a spectacular book. It follows a formula that has become trite in fiction. The story largely rolls out as most readers would expect from a coming-of-age story. Every time a new character pops up, you can guess the role they'll play. Stylistically, The Hou...
Overall, it was a wonderful book. But I wish it had ended stronger, along with more explanation of Sebastian's parents and better character development. It felt as if somethings were not fully covered and some holes in the story. But the transformation of Sebastian and his new understanding of the t...
I half-n-halfed this book. I had started reading it, but then had to give it back and never got around to picking it up again so ordered the audiobook because I figured that would be a faster way to get through it.I don't have any strong feelings for or against this story. It's a little Nick Hornby-...
Once again, I was reeled into this book by the excellent cover design. I like this edition, but the one that pulled me in was the second one -- the cover that sort of looks like a shitty poster. What can I say.Anyway, I couldn't put this down. This was just such an entrancing book, with such a funny...
I am still confused about this book, when I first picked it up I hated it, but about halfway through it, I fell head over heels into it! It went from a whiny boy, to a bunch of different characters that were so real they could have been my next door neighbors!This book was nothing like I expected, e...
ABSOLUTELY LOVED ITThis is wonderful debut with a unique voice. I think it is somewhere between The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and The Life of Pi with my favorite punk songs mixed in. This is my the best book I have read so far the year. This coming of age story really capture...
Great hook - a boy being raised in a geodesic dome by his Buckminster Fuller-obsessed grandmother. Bognanni's debut turned out to be a heartfelt coming of age story influenced heavily by the aforementioned futurist and punk rock bands like The Misfits and The Ramones. I liked it. [full review]
