3 stars I liked this book slightly better than the first, mostly because I felt more comfortable and knowledgeable about the reoccurring slang terms used. This series is a bit of a cross between Divergent, The Hunger Games, and X-Men, which is definitely not a bad thing. As with the first book, I thought the writing was…

3 stars Interesting story. A little dry in the beginning, but really picks up at the end. Very good descriptions, but I really don’t feel like you learn all that much about Riot.

3 stars This is more than just a book about a man and his dog. This is a journey of passion, dedication, and how to be in a relationship without keeping those you love on a tight lease. It is about freedom and sharing the journey of life with someone who really, truly understands you….

3 stars I received a copy of this book from LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review. This was a very cool collection of poems.

4 stars Really great incorporation of graphics and history of some of the original Avengers. David does an impressive job of summing up a rather confusing amount of changes made to each character throughout time. The text is humorous and at times a bit snarky (if he didn’t have such an impressive number of comics…

4 stars A quick read that makes you laugh as much as it makes you think. The concept was a phenomenal one and while the language was simplistic, the change in narration and humorous characters still kept the text interesting. I really liked Susan and John as narrators and really enjoyed their humor and wit….

4 stars A very interesting book. It is packed with information, which is presented in colorful graphs and charts, making the information easier to process. The book focuses on women around the world, including the intersections of race and class. A very informative read.While some of the charts are a little confusing, overall this is…
