  • The Spindlers
    • Rated 3 stars

    “A good story, but since I hold 'Liesl and Po' as the standard for its intended audience, I can't go 4 stars. That said, Oliver is seldom a bad read and spins good old-fashioned 'magical adventures' for an underserved demographic. Gotta love that. ”

    • Rated 3 stars

    “Weakest of the series - one-dimensional, an ok ending to the trilogy but not nearly as gripping as its predecessors.”

  • O Pioneers!
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Not as fully realized as 'My Antonia' but hey, Cather's always great. ”

  • The Scorpio Races
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Stiefvater is really coming into her own - this is her best book to date. Characters, plot and setting are all fully fleshed and I couldn't put it down.”

  • The Raven Boys
    • Rated 4 stars

    “The beginning of this book was so non-engaging, I almost set it aside. I'm glad I kept on - I wound up reading it in one day. The characters are strong and either fully realized or understandably/justifiably mysterious, which is a delicate balance. Can't wait for the next one!”

  • Every Day
    • Rated 4 stars

    “Wonderful book - a few plot holes or it would've been a 5-star. Well-written, original, moving, and more complex than the social agenda(s) it's written about. ”

  • The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
    • Rated 2 stars

    “Great premise, flat characters, too little intrigue and too few layers for my taste. ”

  • The Elegance of the Hedgehog
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Wonderful little book - character driven, philosophical but not heavy-handed. I was completely drawn in.
    ”

  • Jane Eyre
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Loved it.
    Yes, even the slightly overwrought language.
    Drank the Kool-Aid, number me among the believers.”

    “Didn't finish. Turned from enchanting to sordid very quickly.”
