There is seriously nothing more disappointing than being totally excited for a book that is going to blow your mind, only to have it kind of fizzle out. I saw this book on an IMM post at Rather Be Reading. Although I can't quite remember the exact description, the book was recommended to Magan by ...
I really enjoyed this YA suspense novel about a boy sent to a boarding school where nothing is as it seems. There are no adults, the school is divided into three gangs of students who more or less keep the school running. Breaking the rules is punishable by death, and they're followed around const...
This book was definitely interesting, though I felt that the ending was a cheap cliffhanger. I don't actually like books like that - I prefer ones that semi-wrap things up but still leave you wondering/wanting more. Not with so many things left unanswered that the author's practically guaranteed a r...
Wow that was one of the most painful reads I have had in a long time. I had such high hopes for this book and I was sadly disappointed. It was wordy and lacking and just took a really long time to get to what I assume was the point. I don't know what I expected, but it certainly wasn't what I got. I...

I hate that all YA books seem to be part of a trilogy nowadays. Usually at the end of the first book there's so much WTF that I feel compelled to read the next. Not so much because I LOVED the first book but because I just want an explanation of the last 75 pages of the first book. So many unanswere...
This is gonna be a hard review to write, because I had such mixed feelings while reading this book! I almost pulled a DNF on this one, but slowly it got slightly better and the last part I really enjoyed. But I think it took about 250 pages before I started enjoying it and I'm kinda proud of myself ...
