So I generally reserve 5 star reviews for a both that was both excellent *and* I'm likely to want to reread. In this case, it's not necessarily that I'm likely to pull this down off the shelf over and over again, but that it was a truly remarkable book. Told in 17 points of view, this is the story...
An uneven collection of stories detailing the events leading to a school shooting and exploring the psychology behind the shooter, Kirby Matheson. Unfortunately, the least successful of the bunch (including one from the perspective of the gun itself as it opines about purpose and morality while maki...
I had been eager to read author Trish Doller’sThe Devil You Know ever since I had read the novel’s synopsis. A murder mystery taking place out on the open road? Definitely sounded like a story with the potential to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. I saw a lot of mixed revi...
Initial reaction: Are you freaking kidding me? What part of this was a good book, I'd honestly like to know. It was incredibly awkward, lacking suspense, and I hated the main character's complete senselessness and stupidity. I can understand characters making stupid decisions, I can also understand ...
Painfully powerful. Disturbing in all the right ways, this story is so raw, so real, that you will either devour it or throw it away in a fit of sobs. Want to know what this book is about? Think Columbine. Think Umpqua Community College. Told from 17 points of view, this book is an enthralling acco...
This review was originally posted on One Curvy BloggerHere lately, I’ve read a lot of young adult thrillers. I’m not sure why I eat them up, probably because amazing young adult thrillers are so few and far between. The last two I picked up didn’t live up to my expectations, but The Devil You Know w...
Hissing Cousins by Marc Peyser and Timothy Dwyer: I picked up this double biography of Eleanor & Alice Roosevelt because, I mean, look at that tile! How could I not? It turned out to be (as far as I could judge) a well-researched and well-written look at the complex intertwining lives of these two c...
This is one of those books where I don't actually know whether I loved it or hated it. I loved the scenery and the setting. Arcadia Wells is possibly one of the stupidest main characters I have come across lately. I figured out who the bad guy was immediately. This book tells the story of an over...
I don't know if I've hated a prognostic more than the one in The Devil You Know. The only reason she ends up in a ridiculous scenario is because she's so naive and dumb. I mean going on a road trip by yourself with two strange boys. Okay.... Arcadia needs to get out of her house. Ever since her mo...
Incredibly powerful storytelling with a consistent tone despite the 18 different authors. One of the best contemporary books I've ever read, and highly recommended. Each story is very well written, and while told from different perspectives, keeping the story straight is easy because of the quality ...
