I'm not really a bit fan of Alice in Wonderland, but I really liked this book! I sincerely adored the characters, the magic, the mix of their world versus our world. And Morpheus. Oh, Morpheus, you were my favorite character. (Yes, I probably say that about all the hot guys, but still) Tak...
I wanted -- and expected -- to like this book a lot more than I did. It has an interesting premise, and had some somewhat creepy parts. But the book just fell flat for me. I didn't buy into the whole Alice Liddell (the "original" Alice)/Alison/Alyssa connection. Modern day Alyssa was just not ...
Shit. Pretty much complete shit. If you enjoy sexist bullcrap with an emphasis on over-bearing and aggressive romance coupled with a meandering, tissue-paper thin plot and populated with wisps of smoke on the breeze in place of supporting characters overseen by an unsettling puppet-master third-si...
Pretty much loved this book. Even though I wasn't sure about the two love interests, I ended up loving both of them at the end and I'm not sure who I want her to end up with. I didn't like Jeb for most of the book because I couldn't see how he could date someone who bullied his friend/girl he like...
It is often said not to judge or pick a book by its cover. Even as a librarian, I disagree. The only reason I picked this book off the shelf was because of its gorgeous cover, as I'm sure many others did. The actual book design is beautiful with purple print and lovely chapter openings. For that alo...
I don't often find re-tellings where I finish the story and am giddy with love. Cinder was one. And Splintered started off that way. For about the first two thirds. I loved the visual details, the ongoing debate between sanity and insanity - cursed or not. Al was a great character. She felt fresh an...
This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical under-land, as well as a girl’s pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers—precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches ...
Another hyped book that did not live up the hype. I was not expecting much, really. I have lost my faith in all these fantasy/paranormal Young Adults best-sellers. Once in a while I am lucky and find one that is WOW. Deep down, I wanted to like this one (it was nominated for Best Fantasy of 2013 i...
So I'm actually surprised to be rating this book as highly as I am, for two reasons. 1. I'm not a big fan of re-tellings. 2. Wonderland freaks me out. In order to succeed in telling me a story I already know, you have to change it up and make it your own and give me a reason to be interested....
