GAH SO CUTE. I wouldn't have picked this up if it hadn't been children's comics week in class, but, seriously adorable. And very nicely captures the tween angst of wanting to be popular even though the popular kids tend to be lame.
Pretty funny still, but sadly dated! AHH I get those jokes I'm olddd
HEY THERE, CUTEST ENDANGERED ANIMAL I DID NOT KNOW EXISTED UNTIL THIS WEEK
Help, why is this so popular? I didn't understand it at all and I feel hopelessly out of touch.
I was really surprised by this book! For some reason I misunderstood the concept of this book and I thought it was about the last HUMAN BEING on earth? But no, Yorick is the last MAN. All the ladies are still alive. Just in case anyone else was confused. To me, that's a much more interesting concept, and I think it's well-executed here with a lot of complexity. I'll definitely pick up the next volume.
Oh, Scott Westerfeld, I get it. Everyone loved Uglies (myself included). Everyone wanted more Uglies. So you said, ok, I'll write this fourth book of the Uglies trilogy. But in your heart, I bet you were done with Uglies, and it shows in Extras.
It has some cool ideas, for sure--the Twitter-like reputation economy is intriguing--but I was never able to buy into it the way I could the Uglies world. And the whole mess with the Extras? Uhhh jeeze I don't know.

Look here, Jackson Pearce. Not everything has to be about werewolves you know. I really liked the first half of this book, but then when it started becoming apparent what made this a "companion novel" to Sisters Red, it lost me. I could not suspend my disbelief long enough for all the werewolf dramz that went down. Too bad because I really wanted to like this book!
Ehhh. I love Seth Rudetsky's Broadway columns/podcasts/etc but this book didn't do a lot for me. Pretty cliched gay teen high school drama. Maybe this book would have been groundbreaking 20 years ago but now it just feels stale and underdeveloped.
This was like probably cool when it first came out but by this point I've already seen Wolverine's backstory presented in more compelling ways. Also the art is kind of whatever.
