BOOK REVIEW

Allegiant

Veronica Roth

4/10Written Feb 4, 2014

Hated it! The earlier parts of the trilogy were OK, but this was a major bust in my opinion! The ending was just plain wrong!

10/10Written Feb 4, 2014

This is one of those books that gets better by time, though it was excellent to start with! A story of budding sexuality and the way it appears in the subconsciousness. A true masterpiece!

Jim Butcher

10/10Written Feb 4, 2014

Another amazing book of Harry's adventures. I just adore the way how Butcher tortures his poor character. I just spent last summer reading all the Dresdens in a row and I can tell you: time well spent!

Ronia, the Robber's Daughter

Astrid Lindgren

10/10Written Feb 4, 2014

A story about friendship and loss and growing up. I sincerely recommend this to anybody, because I feel everyone can get something out of it.A great favorite of mine since early childhood and now a great favorite of my daughter's as well. Just saw it as a play and it was still great!

10/10Written Feb 4, 2014

I read this for the first time when I was about 10 and since I must have read it about a half a dozen times. It is a lovely book about time and of those who steal it. Certainly gives food for thought in today's busy world!
