What I learned from this sad tale:
Don't trust police.
Don't trust lawyers.
Don't trust judges.
Especially in Ada.
Really liked this Sookie Stackhouse book. It was neat seeing Sookie interact with other characters like Alcide and Eric. I really don't understand why Sookie has to be so beat up in all of these books so far, though.
Uggg... tried this for a second time and just couldn't do it. Looks like I won't be continuing the Sookie series.
This book felt like it went on forever. One of the disadvantages of an e-book I suppose. You can see percentage left, but that doesn't really give you a true picture of what is left. It wasn't that I didn't like the book (I did) but it felt like I was with Harry and his friends for far too much of the year. :) Anyways, good story. A bit slow at first, but the end was definitely worth it. Loved how much of Harry's parents and their lives were tied in with people watching out for him.
Sam and I listened to this book through a couple of road trips. I'm not much of a fan of Lewis Black's comedy style, so I didn't have high hopes for the book. I did enjoy it, however. It was an interesting view of his life and what has lead him to have the views he does.
Really great book, even for people who aren't big animal lovers. A touching tribute and look into two special lives.
A co-worker leant me this book when they found out that I was majoring in advertising. It is by Donny Deutsch, who was the president of one of America's largest advertising agencies. While it's more of a “self help” type book, it also has a lot of personal stories tied in.
Although I can't stand his personality on tv (or in the book either really), I found the book interesting and took more away from it about life than I thought I would.
A good story. Really makes you feel like you are the heat of the race relations during that time period. Looking forward to seeing it translated into the movie.
Read this book for school. It was long, but interesting. At least it kept my attention as a sophomore in high school.
I really wanted to like this book. I like vampire stories and I wanted to be really into a series so I could look forward to future books in a series.
But I didn't.
The book isn't horrible. I understand why people like it. If I come across the future books in my library or get a chance to read them for free I probably would. I think it's great that these books are encouraging more young people to read. I credit a lot of my “success” in school to reading when I was younger.
My major complaints about the book (without spoilers):
Bella. I couldn't stand her. I kept hoping that I would like her personality more as the book went on, but I really didn't. She was a bummer and it's rough when the main character is a bummer.
Certain things seemed glazed over. It was like she took such a long time setting up the beginning that she needed to cram all of this stuff into a small number of pages.
The end. The end really killed it for me, more than I thought it would.
Maybe I would've liked this book better if I was younger, which is the target audience.
As an advertising major, I really enjoyed all of the marketing references in this book, although I do hope that maybe the world isn't quite so harsh.
This was a good book, but not great. It kept you going, but not something you're going to write home about.
The characters were interesting, but not captivating. I found I had no one to really root for, just someone to root against.
I had bigger expectations for this book, but it was still a good read.
Very interesting to hear her side of the story. An intense read that effected me more than I expected.
I can't helped but be charmed by this series. I haven't read the stories in order, but I love the Argenuea (sp) family. This book was not a disappointment.
Another charming story with good development. Great to “see” Gregor and his family again. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
This Gregor book didn't capture me quite as much as the others, but still an exciting tale. The characters are charming and I look forward to hear where the adventures go from here.
This is probably my third or fourth Argeneau book that I've read and I really enjoyed it. I have to admit that I'm a bit surprised I like the series so much, but I find the characters really endearing. It's fun to have a series to read again since you can get so connected with characters.
