Book Review: The Maze Runner by James Dashner

October 18, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

The Maze Runner is an intense, action-packed thriller but at the same time manages to be so incredibly moving. I'm reading this for the second time. I know what's going to happen, and I still get chills! Though it's pretty intense and sometimes a little dark, it still manages to be funny with the slang that the ... Read More »

Book Review: The Giver by Lois Lowry

October 6, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

The Giver was moving, beautiful, and deep.  The world reminded me a lot of Matched by Ally Condie. I'm glad I read it as an adult. It might have gone over my head if I'd read it in middle school. It was pretty deep and serious stuff. I'm still thinking about it. To be honest, I'm ... Read More »

Book Review: Fateful by Claudia Gray

September 28, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Fateful is like Titanic the movie meets Twilight. It was one of those ideas that was so unique but at the same time it was like, "Why hasn't someone thought of this before?" A great action packed page-turner that was very entertaining. I kind of saw the ending coming, but it still surprised me enough ... Read More »

Book Review: Supernaturally by Kiersten White

September 22, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Spoiler free, even if you haven't read Paranormalcy #1. Supernaturally is deeper and darker than Paranormalcy. It's a little more serious and dramatic and wasn't as lighthearted as the first one. It has great action and it kept me guessing through the whole thing. Definitely a page-turner for me.  It also answers a lot of questions ... Read More »

Book Review: Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy

September 15, 2011 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 1 Comment

A good introduction to Tolstoy if you don't want to take on War and Peace, but it's definitely not as good. The ending felt unfinished and a little vague and the characters were not as interesting as the ones in his more famous works. He seems to have a woman with a mustache in every ... Read More »
