Personal rating of 2 out of 5 stars
2 stars I currently work in a library and this series is quite popular among our patrons. Though I haven’t read many cozy mysteries, I wanted to see what it was all about. There were a lot of cringey moments with bad writing, overly detailed scenes, terrible police work, unethical vigilantism, talking down to the…

2 stars Pretty disappointed with the second volume of this series. While there were some pacing issues that I was able to get past in the first because of the amazing universe created and the awesome characters, this one just didn’t live up to the standard previously set. For starters, I’m not sure why the…

For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-Cycle Okay read. I will say that as an only child, it was kind of hard for me to relate to. Pretty much all I know about having siblings is what I’ve seen on TV and read in books. I’m sure those with siblings would find this more interesting….

2 stars I’m starting to think Patterson’s writing just isn’t for me… Either I have aged out of an appreciation for sarcastic teenage narration or Patterson and Charbonnet haven’t quite figured out how to write a sarcastic teen who doesn’t just annoy the reader the entire time. I wanted to like this book, but found…

2 stars Note: this is the first I have read of anything Big Nate-related. An okay collection of comics originally published 2009 to 2010. The collection was fine, mostly I just don’t think it was a good fit for me personally. I had a difficult time assessing who this book was targeted toward. The characters…

2 stars This was a very easy read. There are only four chapters, each of which are pretty short. This book was okay. It is the first Horrible Harry book I have read. It was cute and the writing was simple. I did like the ending, but overall it wasn’t a very interesting read for…

2 stars This book is pretty much what Bridget Jones would have been like in school, although less charismatic in my opinion. It was okay. It was a pretty quick read, but for me it wasn’t entertaining or insightful. It’s a pretty run of the mill tween book filled with fat shaming, jokes about suicide,…

2 stars A cute story with nice illustrations. This is a very simple story. It is more of a description of events rather than a story with a plot. Not much character development, but the pictures were cute and interactive.

2 stars This is the first book I have read in this series. The antics of Junie B. Jones are reminiscent of Ramona Quimby, but the first person narrator really got on my nerves. Having Junie narrate the story with all of her age-appropriate grammatical errors was very irritating to me. It really took away…

2 stars Found a copy of this book in the Lending Library and decided to check it out for an easy read. The story is simple, the writing is okay, but I really did not like the narration. Junie’s narration really bugged me with her misprounciations and incorrect use of past tense verbs. I understand…
