Short Review: Let's just say, the first part was awesome, the second part was absolutely horrendous and boring.I loved the idea: kids stranded in a mall? With a snowstorm going on? Wow, awesome. Can't wait to see how that develops.Instead, we get teen drama, breaking a mall (yes they do considerable...

OVERALL IMPRESSION: This was a really cute and sweet story with a little adventure and mystery thrown in. There's not a whole lot to say about it. I enjoyed reading it, and was entertained throughout the entire story. Unfortunately, I haven't ever read Shakespeare's "The Tempest" so I can't compare ...

I thought the storyline was OK. I was confused a lot of the time. I couldn't keep up with all the characters. The ending was sweet, and I liked the relationship between Miranda and Caleb.Full review: http://kitkat1242.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/review-tempestuous-by-kim-askew-amy.html

This review and more at Sab The Book EaterI'm not a big Shakespeare fan because I never really took the time to understand his writing. In highschool, and even now in college, we didn't really discuss Shakespeare in depth. We were only able to discuss a few of Shakespeare's works, unfortunately The ...
