The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth LaBan is one of those book that readers everywhere need to read and experience. A story within a story that comes full circle in the end, and I loved every minute of it.I loved the unique way in which this story was told. It’s told in the point of view of two charac...

I got a little bored while reading this. The story was ok, but I wasn't very interested in the outcome.When I skimmed over the book again, there were several sentences that seemed very similar to sentences I've read in other books.... just can't think what books, which is driving me a little crazy.

First of all, I have to comment on how "clean" this book is. There's no swearing, no sex, no law breaking. Well, no major law breaking, anyway. It was refreshing to read a book that is free from all of that but still feels authentic and honest. I think too many times authors try to write teens w...

The Tragedy is a thoughtful book that reminded me of A Separate Peace -- or, as Bookshelves of Doom rightly points out -- Ethan Frome. I loved Tim, the main character, but thought the narrative device of having Tim's story told through CDs that were played by yet another character, Duncan, distanced...
