2 stars (Free copy through Kindle store.)I really liked the concept for this story. Very interesting take on the Snow White tale.However, I was really bored by the writing. The descriptions felt overly detailed to the point of me completely losing interest. Despite how short it was, it seemed to drag on because of all…

2 stars (Free book from Kindle store.)Pretty much everything I have disliked about the other prequels holds true for this one as well. I was happy when Rapunzel showed up (finally an actual Grimm character is a series supposedly dedicated to Grimm stories). Although Jack also appears (the one with the beanstalk) and allusions are…

2 stars (Free book from Kindle store.)I was really disappointed by this story considering that the majority of the characters, including the title character, are not Grimm related. This is the Grimm Diaries, yet few of the hundreds of Grimm characters actually made it into this story. Like in Beauty Never Dies, Jace pulls from…

3 stars As with the first two books in this series, this one was just as fun with interesting characters and creative plot points. I loved the character of Bill/Billina (although Dorothy furthered my dislike of her by suggesting the hen should change her name). I did not like how much of a role Dorothy…

2 stars I received a copy of this book from Booklikes in exchange for an honest review. In no way was this a bad book. If anything I was a bad reader for this particular book. I hate reviwing books that were well written but not my style. Here it goes. McFarlane’s writing is very…

3 stars I am still really unsure how I feel about this book, but a 3-star rating seems fair.Cool idea to add zombies to a classic, although I completely disagree with the intention of “transform[ing] a masterpiece of world literature into something you’d actually want to read.” I think to actually enjoy this book you…

5 stars This is a perfect book for gaining insight into the lives of adults diagnosed with ASD or what was formally diagnosed as Asperger’s Syndrome. Having worked with children with ASDs for the past two years, I was very excited to read some first-hand accounts of adults with ASDs. All of the contributors were…

3 stars I have finally gotten around to reading the first series of the larger Deltora book series (having read Deltora Shadowlands: Special Edition, Books 1-3 and Dragons of Deltora: Special Edition, Books 1 & 2 first). This book was good. It took a little while to get to the main story of the book. There was a lot…

2 stars Hmmmm… weird. Yup, that about sums it up. Definitely not what I was expecting. I think part of the problem with this book is that is was marketed as much funnier than it turned out to be. With lines like “man-sized baby kitten” and “Yes, their son is OMG so cute” in the…

5 stars Despite the controversy surrounding this book, I think it is very well-done. While in no way does Boyne attempt to give a real-life account of the Holocaust, he does provide an interesting prospective that gets the reader thinking. The best way to describe this book is a children’s book for adults, although Boyne…
