This is the weirdest, most ridiculous book I'ver ever read or even heard of!It's bad, it's so incredibly bad and absurd that it becomes awesome again.After reading the synopsis I thought "Wow, that woman had to be on drugs! This sounds awful and so, so, so bad! Venomous killer unicons? C'moooon! Thi...

Rampant by Diana Peterfreund is not a light read, nor is it for the faint of heart, but it is highly enjoyable nonetheless. I have to admit that I was feeling kind of dubious about it, despite all of the praise it’s received. I wasn’t sure how writing a story about unicorns in modern times would r...

I wanted to love this one--because the premise is definitely shiny. But the narrator's voice never felt natural, authentic, or consistent and completely failed to work for me (plus I didn't like Astrid as a character). The side cast--in particular the MC's cousin, Phil--were entertaining and the sto...

The "killer unicorns" premise didn't do much for me, so I was surprised to enjoy this as much as I did. I veered between liking and wanting to slap the protagonist, but I never doubted her authenticity as a real, live teenage girl. The secondary characters, sadly, are numerous enough that few are de...

I loved the concept, of killer unicorns, and the interweaving of mythology, legends and history, but I was not as keen on the actual story and characters. If this were a stand alone novel, not nearly enough took place and for a series, I just don't care enough about these girls to keep reading.
Title and Statement of Responsibility
I'm sure that unicorns were as much fixture in many young lives of my generation as they were in mine. I was traumatized at the age of five by my first movie, The Last Unicorn, I read The Little White Horse avidly, I had a sister who was addicted to all things equine, my mother's needlework included...

When I was little, every night I'd go outside with my dad and little sister to wish on a star. Every night my sister wished for a horse. Every night I wished for... a unicorn. Back then, I couldn't think of anything I wanted or needed more than a unicorn. Granted, I'd never met Diana Peterfreund's u...

I just don't have much to say about Rampant. Man-eating unicorns, virgin huntresses, and...I don't know. I don't know if the world-building failed me, or if it was just too far out there for me to really appreciate the story. If it had been a full-on fantasy novel instead of one set in the presen...
