A frothy, boozey, southern belle, Zelda Fitzgerald comes in Fowler's novel, narrated with a Southern Accent in this audiobook. Fowler gives Zelda a tragic air, a woman who dabbled at best in many things but never truly shook off her main identity, that of the wild wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Not many surprises here, but a fun read for summer.

**Review based on audiobook**

Teens wake up with targeted memory loss in an enormous maze that does not appear to have an exit. Complicating matters are the wandering gruesome mechanized monsters who try to kill the teens on sight. Why are they in the maze? Why can't they remember who they are? And why do the two newest additions, Thomas, and the first ever girl, Theresa, seem so familiar?

Unfortunately Dashner's writing style and the poor narration did not absorb me into this world. I felt no connection to the characters and did not care if they died or prevailed. The world-building was lack luster, and the conclusion which answered the reasons why these kids were in this maze was completely unsatisfactory. Yahoo, another cliff hanger trilogy. Unfortunately I've read too many books that were akin to this one already.

Very choppy. I returned this title to Amazon after reading.

Thrilling but a bit light on details, Legend is a fun summer read for fans of The Hunger Games or Divergent. Another dystopian version of America, this one focuses on two young people from opposite ends of the socio-economic spectrum who come together to fight against a common goal. I do wish Lu spent a bit more time on describing what caused the rifts in society, but hopefully as the trilogy unfolds this will become more clear.

Wonderful narration (based on audiobook) complete with believable Russian accents, Vaclav and Lena is an enchanting and tough love story of two young teenagers. Loved the language, the lists, and the character development.

Totally ridiculous, but sort of fun. I bought it for my library because of the hilarious title and cover. Fun beach read.

A privileged girl who's family feels no effects from the onset of the Great Depression is sent to a horse-riding camp for ladies in North Carolina due to a mysterious indiscretion that is only slowly revealed as you read. I did not feel much empathy with the main character, as it did not seem she truly grew or learned much besides the fact she should be here own person, no matter what her family thinks. I also thought the 'mysterious circumstances' that led to her banishment were truly horrible. I just kept thinking #richwhitegirlproblems the entire time I read this novel.

Hilarious and dark comics by a British cartoonist with a definite literary bent. I often laughed out loud and also thoroughly enjoyed the illustrations.

Rating is for a text book. It fit the parameters of the clas and gave helpful charts with reference sources (in print and online).
