I can spend hours and hours in book stores. I don't even have to buy a thing, though usually I can't resist! I love books; reading books, looking at books, having books on my shelf. I'm pretty picky about what I read. I can't read a book just for the sake of reading, it's got to be interesting. I guess that's why you only (mostly) see books I... more »

    • Rated 2 stars

    This book was okay. Yes, the characters are easy to see as someone I would know or be my next door neighbor, but it was boring. I had to force myself to finish it (I hate not finishing books!). I also didn't feel like there was any real plot or conclusion; it just kinda went on and on, and then...ended. Not sure what the buzz is all about.

    At first I wasn't terribly impressed. It's surely an entertaining read, but not spectacular. But when the book ended, I wanted to know more, I wanted to know what happens next. I want to read the next book!! I can't wait till I can get my hands on it!!

  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
    • Rated 5 stars

    This was an incredible ending to an amazing series. I really liked how different this book was from the others, but still the same. It wasn't (for the most part) at Hogwarts, it didn't revolve around school struggles, but it was still the tale we have grown to love.
    The ending would have been perfect if there wasn't the after thought, "second" ending. I know why it's there, and I did enjoy reading it, but it took out the punch of the last page that should have finished the book.
    All in all, though, I loved this book, and the rest of the Harry Potter series. Every time I finish one of these books I just want to start the series over again! I'm never done reading these books.

  • Angels & Demons
    • Rated 5 stars

    This is my favorite book of his that I've read. The Da Vinci Code was good, but this is way better, and (very different story) Digital Fortress is better too (maybe because it wasn't so hyped). Angels & Demons is definitely my favorite!
