Book Review: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

November 3, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

This book drags. Don't get me wrong - I can relate a lot to Bella in this book. Oddly enough, my first break-up felt the same way. Her bitterness especially about how love gives someone the power to break you really gets to me.  However, there isn't much plot and even the conversations seem to take ... Read More »

Book Review: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

October 27, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

My sister was reading this book in high school and when she told me it was about vampires, I was seriously concerned that she had gone all goth on me. To make sure she wasn't reading weird stuff, I decided to read it and to my surprise, I loved it. The part that I loved ... Read More »

Book Review: The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide

October 25, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review Leave a Comment

I'll be honest, this is not very interesting to read cover to cover, but it does have great information about the saga that any fan would love to read. My favorite part is the interview with Stephenie Meyer at the beginning. It was inspiring to read about how she didn't write to be famous or ... Read More »

Book Review: The Death Cure by James Dashner

October 20, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Spoiler free, even if you haven't read the first two books. The Death Cure is quite the emotional roller coster. It was completely unpredictable and surprising, which I love.   So gripping and heart-pounding that I finished it in almost one sitting. One of the most intense books that I've ever read. It took me on ... Read More »

Book Review: The Scorch Trials by James Dashner

October 19, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

Spoiler free even if you haven't read book #1, The Maze Runner. If you thought James Dashner couldn't top the action and intensity from The Maze Runner, he does.  You learn so much about the world and the characters but the question that will bug you through the whole thing is WHY? Why is all this ... Read More »
