READ THIS BOOK. The story is sweet and simple...it's not too cutesy or too dramatic and there is no trying to hard. It just reads easy. It is great as young adult fiction, but it reads very well for adults as well. I loved this book. I read it all in one sitting and more or less bawled my eyes out.

A moving and powerful book based on a horrific real event. An amazing book that I would recommend highly. Sad, but poignant. For the full review: http://erraticprojectjunkie.blogspot.com/2012/03/2012-boty-sarahs-key-by-tatiana-de.html

I loved this book. It reminded me quite early on of the characters in The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. I initially had issues with the ending, but then came to the realization that it was because I wanted more of the story not because the ending wasn't a good one.

I LOVED this book. I loved the characters, I loved the plot. The only thing I didn't love about it is that it left me wanting more. I wanted more time and follow up. This is honestly a book that could do very well with a sequel. At the end I didn't feel disappointed in any way, but I felt a strong desire to know more about the lives of Skeeter, Minny, Aibileen and Yule May after the story ended.

I know that there has been some controversy about this book, but I think that it was very well written. Writing it from multiple points of view was definitely helpful in developing the story and keeping things more transparent for the reader. I think that there are balanced examples and a fair representation of the social climate of Mississippi in the 50's and 60's. I base this not on my own personal experience, but on the other novels I've read about the time period and the other information I have been exposed to regarding the civil rights movement in the United States.

I honestly didn't think I would like this book as much as I did. I thought it would be much less than it ended up being. I can't explain exactly what I expected, but I know that it did a magnificent job of getting me sucked in. I can definitely see myself reading this book again, without question.

You might as well go and read my review for The Hunger Games, because this is going to pretty much be the same. I LOVED this book. I could not stop reading and I actually got mad because I had to put it down in order to get enough sleep for work the next day. Yet once again, the ending left me with a cliffhanger and really glad that I had the third book ready to roll.

Very good series and merged well with The Mortal Instruments series in this last book.

I love Audrey Niffenegger. I was just as pleased with this book as I had been with The Time Traveler's Wife. Though the story deals with ghosts and a rather fantastical plot line, it didn't feel contrived or hard to believe. I really enjoyed this book. She did a good job of creating enough mystery around the plot line that I was hooked within the first few pages. I read the whole book in just a few days and found myself excited to get back to it. I felt as true sense of getting to know the characters and I wanted to see where their paths would take them.

The story centers on Julia and Valentina Poole, twin sisters who inherit their Aunt Elspeth's flat upon her death with the strange condition that they live there for a year and do not allow their parents to enter the apartment. They are thrust out of the life they know and are forced to start to think about the future.

Each main character in the plot has their own selfish tendencies as well as an obsession. These are the things that bring them all together and thread the plot as a cohesive whole. There is Martin, with his OCD so pervasive that he drives off his own wife; Julia, the twin who wants to be in charge and can't stand the thought of living a life different from that of her sister; Robert, who obsesses about his thesis, but can't find a way to make it whole and finds himself torn between love for two women; and Valentina, the weaker twin who knows inside what she wants but cannot break free of her domineering sister.

This is absolutely a book that I would recommend to other readers. I will certainly be reading it again. Though it wasn't as sweepingly romantic as The Time Traveler's Wife, I still found it enthralling and wonderful.
