Book Review: Life of Pi by Yann Martel

August 21, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 7 Comments

Book Review Life of Pi Yann Martel

The Life of Pi is like The Old Man and the Sea kicked up a notch with wild animals that certainly don't belong in the ocean and a 16 year old boy. Part 1 of the story is full of amusing honesty, entertaining writing, and fascinating educational passages about religion and animals. One of the ... Read More »

Book Review: The Lost Saint by Bree Despain

March 22, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series. My biggest complaint about The Dark Divine was that is was a typical paranormal romance.  That is not true for it's sequel, The Lost Saint.  Bree Despain breaks a lot of the stereotypes and cliches that are common in paranormal romance.  I liked ...

Book Review: The Dark Divine by Bree Despain

March 20, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

I loved the slow suspense of The Dark Divine. The best part of the suspense was that I had no idea who or what Daniel was for most of the book. The portrayal of the fight between good and evil was great, but for most of the book I felt like it was a typical paranormal ... Read More »

Book Review: Juliet Immortal by Stacey Jay

February 2, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 6 Comments

Juliet Immortal grabbed me from the first page and never let go. It was like The Host by Stephenie Meyer meets the movie Sliding Doors. Such a unique and strange combination. I never knew what to expect and it was so creative. The writing was rich and complex.  Every word counted.  The story took everything ... Read More »

Book Review: Rumors by Anna Godbersen

December 20, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series. Gossip Girl in 1899 continues.  The pace felt slower in Rumors than it did in the first book, The Luxe. The first book had one main story line that was told from many points of view, but Rumors had lots of divergent story ... Read More »
