A Perfect Literary Match

I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. Usually I don't really go for the lovey-dovey centered stories, but this book made me realize that I do appreciate a well-written romance, which is what this book incorporated really well. Like...

Ever-Amazing

So unbelievably awesome! I had high expectations for this book after reading everyone's stellar reviews, and it lived up to all of them! First of all, the story was absolutely genius. This was a very unique retelling of the Persephone myth. The mythology was written so well;...

A Smart Paranormal Tale

This was a great story. Reading the description, I didn't know what to expect. What I got was a compelling and beautifully told paranormal mystery. The town of Gatlin was very well-written. I could picture this small town with its variety of characters and very interesting history,...

Dystopia + Love Issues + Awesome Writing = Great Book

This was a great sequel to Delirium. I really enjoyed how the story flipped back and forth between 2 different times after the events of Delirium took place: "Now" and "Then". It kept the pace going and ensured something exciting was always happening. I also liked how...

A Unique and Beautiful Dystopian Tale

WOW. Lauren Oliver just blew my mind. I knew I would like this book, but other than that, I didn't know what to expect. This was very subtle and, at some points, a little slow. I didn't truly realize how extraordinary and unique this was until the end. As I...

Fantastic

Amazingly, awesomely, astoundingly fantastic! This was so fun and easy to read. The setting, the characters, the story, the sharp dialogue, everything was so good! I want to move to the town of Croak. With its morbid shop names and eccentric townspeople, it provided the perfect setting...
