I knew from the first few pages that this book was going to be a tough read, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.
There was so much going on and none of it ever stuck. Nothing ever landed hard enough to make an impact. I felt no sizzle or connection between Chase and Tommy (I felt more between Chase and Dex, Donnie, ... | [

This is certainly one of the more popular gay romance reads, both here on Goodreads and on Amazon. I'll be honest, I sort of searched the book based on the title alone--come on, it's a gay romance with "bear" and "otter" in the title, what the hell did you think I was looking for? But instead, I got something else...a ... | [

I can relate to this book on a spiritual level...this is my second year going to a small-town college, and holy crap, can I relate to Carol.
Hopefully I have a few more options and the social ability to show a backbone once in a while.
All in all, I really did love this book--funny, smart, and good for a Minnesota ... | [

I didn't love this book, but it certainly made me not hate Hemingway's writing, which I always have ever since high school. I loved "Hills Like White Elephants" because I love good dialogue, but so much of his stuff is just lost on me. He's really the only expat I don't read.
But there were some good parts of the The... | [

Books like Misery almost make me want to create a "books about writing" bookshelf, or maybe "books about books." Because that's how I read this book. I nearly overlooked my horror shelf--I'm used to horror, horror is comfortable. I watch Nightmare on Elm Street when I'm trying to doze off, I finished Misery alone in th... | [

Last weekend, I found myself in one the sweetest, most comfortably situations one can find themselves on a calm, cool summer Saturday after a long week of work: I was home alone, and I had a new book to read.
The neighborhood was practically silent--it was two in the afternoon, the sun was out but not too hot, there ... | [

I'm a huge film fan, and for whatever reason, my cousin and I decided to rent The Room and watch it on my high school graduation night. It will forever go down as one of my fondest movie-watching memories--I've never laughed so hard and felt so uncomfortable at the same time. So once I saw that this book was coming out... | [

So I'm not a huge romance reader. Never have been. I liked it a little when I was younger, but I realized that I just couldn't get into most of the plots--guy is mean to girl, girl falls for his rogue-ish bad-boy charm, guy jackhammers girl into wall while moaning about how she is "his"--yuck.

If I thought "Scrap Metal" was heavy on the schmoop, I don't know how I handled "Family Man." This novel is a bona fide schmoopfest and not even I am immune to it.
So we have our narrator, the young Trey Giles, who has a sweet old granny and an alcoholic mother. He has a "no sex" rule even though he is out and proud,... | [

You can't argue against Shakespeare. I've learned this throughout my term as a literature student. If you don't get Shakespeare, it isn't a flaw on the Bard's part...you need to re-read, close-read, and check Spark Notes until you get it, then you'll love it. It's fact.

This was another play I read for my World Drama class. It is not my favorite from the course so far but I certainly enjoyed it- it transcended my expectations, that's for sure!
The play is about Nora Helmer, a married woman whose husband Torvald is patronizing, controlling, and obsessed with being in charge of everyt... | [

Like everyone else has said before in so many reviews, I'm shocked that this was written in the 17th century. The humor translates so well to modern day that it almost seems like a rewrite or a satire of older, stuffier plays. I know that the language was shifted and modified during the later translation, but even the ... | [

I just wasn't feeling the first third of this book. Maybe I set my expectations sky-high because of the stellar ratings, I don't know, but I just wasn't getting a great feel for these characters. The last third of the book swept that all away, though, and I couldn't help but get caught up in the humor, sweetness, and a... | [

So "The Dark Tower" ... | [

In one of the best bits of literary contrast I've observed in a long time, I read the first three books in Michaels' "Faith, Love, & Devotion" series right after reading Jane Kindred's "Demons of Elysium" series, hopping from one end of the M/M romance spectrum to the other.

I think the word I would use to describe this romance is light. Not in the ooey-gooey-fluffy way of novellas with no action or conflict, or in the dull way with zero sex or passion. There's plenty of all that in this book. But it is still a romance, and all throughout the book, I knew Jared and Matt would make it.

It has been a long time since I've sat in a classroom ten minutes before class and laughed my ass off while reading a great book. The worried looks were definitely worth it this time.
I'd never actually heard of Moran before the buzz about this memoir, but I decided to take a chance on it after seeing it in my colleg... | [

I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book after reading "Divergent," but I had my apprehensions that the plot would slow down after the factions started falling apart.

I bought this a few days ago while on my crazy hunt for good M/M romance novels after finishing the smoking "Hot Head" by Damon Suede. This wasn't a bad book, but it lacked the slow build-up, oozing sexual tension, and tenderhearted romance of "Hot Head".
I really, really need to stop comparing all M/M books to "Hot ... | [

Ah, another fine, messed-up novel by the great and twisted V.C. Andrews. While the last novel ("Petals on the Wind") in the Dollanganger series was more of a family epic, spanning over a decade of Cathy's life, this one took place over one summer and it was much more of a horror novel.

I liked "Ash" but it left me wanting more. Unfortunately, "Huntress" didn't deliver as much as I hoped it would. It was a pretty novel in a sparkling fantasy world, but I felt that the characters were one-dimensional and the writing was often dry.

It has been almost a year since I read the awesome first novel of the Paranormals series, "Jenny Pox." I was surprised by the well-crafted horror, the maliciously wonderful villain, and the original story, and I couldn't wait to read the next one. I put it on hold for awhile, but I'm glad I've finally gotten around to ... | [

I devoured these books when I was in middle school. I've read them all multiple times. But that doesn't mean they're good books for young girls- they made me think I had to have designer clothes and a boyfriend at age 13. They're entertaining, but a bad influence. | [

Probably one of my favorite books about the craft, which is saying a lot, because I have an ironic dislike for the "on writing" genre. It's hard to write about writing without sounding pretentious. Because only the best writers deserve to instruct, and depending on what sort of reader you are, opinions differ drastical... | [

Not my first King novel, but the first I've truly enjoyed. "Carrie" is more like a novella than a full novel since it reads so fast and has a condensed, to-the-point plot, but it doesn't pull any punches and it really provides the scares. This was a really intelligent and well-written read.
Carrie White is a telekine... | [

Oh, good lord, are these books bad. But at the same time, they are oh so wonderful. How does that even work? I don't know, but Andrews (who must've had one messed-up childhood) certainly knew the secret formula.
This is the second book in the Dollanganger series, after the ... | [

This book has evoked some pretty strong emotions- not all positive. It started slow, made me apprehensive, and often made me angry. But by the end, I was left feeling an exhausting mixture of inspiration, confusion, exasperation, sadness, and skepticism.
It is exceptionally written, I'll give Irving that.

I definitely prefer this fantasy world to that of Miller's other fantasy series "Empress", but the pacing and the focusing on too many characters at once made me long for grim Hekat and tortured Vortka. That being said, this first novel in the "Kingmaker, Kingbreaker" duology was a great, fun, intriguing piece of high ... | [

Why must you do this to us, George R.R. Martin? Why must you craft these baffling novels, each one better and more depressing than the last? Why must you suck me into this painstakingly handcrafted world only to spurn me in the end? Why must you make me feel akin to these characters and then slay the... | [

I really, really wanted to like this book, but I think my favorite part was when I hit 90% finished and I realized I was almost done. That usually isn't a good sign, is it?
This is a ebook-exclusive novel by Lilith Saintcrow (whose previous novels I have not and probably never will read) about a young woman named Via... | [

I did not start this book with high expectations. Beautiful Disaster is right on par with 50 Shades of Grey for me- meaning I bought it for the hype. If this is one of the most popular Kindle books, it must be good, right? I won't trash the writing in this book. The writing is just fine for a YA romance-type novel. Few... | [

Fangirls and fanboys, you all know what I mean. It will ruin your life, but you'll love every second of it, and you won't regret it at all. I knew it from the first page--this book sucked me in from the very beginning until I was neck-deep in cold wa... | [

Godbersen really has some writing chops, and I knew that "Bright Young Things" was going to be a good read right from the well-written and engaging prologue. And I was right- the characters were interesting, especially Astrid, and the scene of 1929 New York City was well-set. But after reading Godbersen's excellent "Lu... | [

This was definitely the best book in a really well-written, interesting series. I think that these books are underrated and written off as cheesy teen romance books, but "Splendor" was deep and honestly, quite heartbreaking. It didn't have a happy ending and nothing was written off as a fairy tale.... | [

Well, jeez. What can I say about this novel that hasn't already been said? I loved it. It was a great, thrilling, exciting, fresh YA joyride, and I can't wait to pick up "Insurgent" and continue being lost in this world.

This was a cute book, but I enjoyed the "Percy Jackson" series a little more because I am familiar with the mythology. I think that if I brushed up on Egyptian mythology before I read this one, I could have appreciated it more.
Not to say that this wasn't a good book. It is perfect for all ages, modern, funny, witty,... | [

I know there are people who loved this book, because it appeals to a certain audience in a certain age group who live in a certain part of the world. I am not in any of those groups, therefore I found this book to be pretentious, dividing, and completely unnecessary.

There is a quote that's been rolling around Tumblr for a year or so, hailing from this novel. I didn't remember reading it before but it certainly rang a bell when I finally came across it while Cat's Eye:
"And yet it disturbs me to know I have hurt someone unintentionally. I want all my hurts to be intentional."

This little novel reminded me of why I love Francesca Lia Block. It's pretty, short, and full of Los Angeles imagery that I can only get through Block and Janet Fitch. I love how Block's novels always read like children's fantasy stories but are really about things that affect teenagers all over the world- beauty stand... | [

I was really intrigued with the topic of this little novella. With a title like "Rape: A Love Story", who wouldn't be? Too bad that the most interesting thing about it was the title.
For such a heavy topic this was a shallow, short little book. I know absolutely nothing about the characters. I didn't really care much... | [

I have a confession- I lied in my last review. I said it was hot and sexy and had a cool plot, even though I only gave 3 stars.
To be honest, I didn't really get much out of this book. The writing wasn't stellar, the sex wasn't special, and I didn't fall in love with Christian Grey. I have read way too much amazing e... | [

A lot of people didn't like this book, and I totally understand that. I can even agree in some part. I will say right away that the second quarter of the book is nearly insufferable in how pretentious it is, enough so to nearly put me off the entire novel.

This is certainly a series of epic proportions, and "A Clash of Kings" is only a dent in the beautiful clusterf**k that is "A Song of Ice and Fire". It seriously took me like two months to read this monster and about 20% of it could've been edited out.

I didn't really enjoy this book because I didn't really understand it. We learned about the premise too late in the book to really get into it, and we never got too close to the characters.

This was a good story and extremely emotional, but I didn't really like the style it was written in. I wish it took a more traditional approach. The story felt too short and I wanted to know more about Lakshmi and her family.

This novel was somewhat a disappointment after reading its wonderful predecessor, "Matched". I always enjoy dystopian stories because I love fantasy. I love learning about the way these fictional cultures work, who is in charge, how the citizens react with one another, and eventually how the protagonists break through ... | [

There were a lot of things I loved about this book and a lot of things I hated about this book.
Things I loved:
-The elaborate and beautiful setting
-The including of children as reliable and interesting narrators
-Daenarys Targaryen aka The World's Greatest BAMF
-Political uprisings
-An elaborate backstory... | [

This isn't really the type of book I usually go for, but I'm glad I did. It is truly charming and funny and Bridget Jones is an incredibly realistic protagonist. This was a silly, naughty, sweet romp but if you don't take it too seriously, you'll love it. | [

A huge ending to a huge series. I was pretty much in tears for the epilogue, because I knew that it was all over. I'm so glad I took this past month to read this series that I'd never bothered to pick up before, because now I know of its power. Harry Potter is truly charming, enchanting, and oh so magical. | [

This one was hard for me to get into and it started off really slow, but the ending was like BAM! The last hundred or so pages had me curled in a ball and holding my breath as I read. It was worth the slow start! | [
