*Sighs in contentment* I seriously loved this series. I don't know how much more I can brag about it! I recommend it for anyone ages 10+, I find a way to work it into many of my displays at work, I have bought copies of my own to lend to friends. I just seriously am in love with everything about the WondLa series. Most of all I love the message it gives. About love, family, acceptance of yourself and others, respecting the environment, and the big topics of life and death. No matter if you're hu-man or alien, or what planet you are from, the themes of this series is universal!

I'm glad this book ended up being really good. I had heard great things about "Curse of the Wendigo" but didn't realize it was the second book in this series. "The Monstrumologist" is book one, and was a different kind of read. It's most certainly for older teens, and the writing and speech style is very Victorian. It is also super violent. That's a good thing, though! I haven't been so grossed out since "Scowler", so this is yet another book you shouldn't read while eating.

So if you're looking for a scary book, with plenty of icky moments, for more dedicated readers, this is definitely a great book for them!

When I read Stephen King, it's usually one of his scary and/or paranormal novels. This one is a cat and mouse chase between a retired detective and a psycho 30 year old. It was a fun romp, needed a bit more suspense because it slowed in some spots, but a book that kept me entertained through the end.

Oh good, another book to reassure me that my strangeness is shared with others! I may not go as far as Briony, but fandom is definitely in my blood. Is it normal to totally obsess and fantasize about magic and favorite, not-real characters? I don't know about normal, but it happens! Briony LOVES a character in her favorite book series. Her life revolves around it. So when the final book in the series comes out, and she finishes reading it, then what? Everyone tells her to get her head out of the clouds, magic isn't real, and to focus on real life, but Briony just won't accept it. She has to find out of magic and spirits are real, or else the real world is going to be super boring.

Man, I will forever love this book. It's a perfect teen book. Rob Thomas understands teens, understands how they think and talk, he knows the struggle, and he is able to write like none other. I believe him to have reached the state of teen author nirvana, a state in which John Green is close to obtaining, but isn't quite there yet.

I am sorry to say that this book doesn't come close to the awesomeness that was The Maze Runner. The writing felt stunted and many parts were rushed. When it comes to the new popular theme of futuristic gaming and people getting stuck inside their mmorpg , this is not the best of the genre. It tried to be a simpler Ready Player One but for teens, but ended up falling flat. Just read Ready Player One, it's an amazing book.

A very sweet manga with some delicious-sounding recipes!

*Praises the heavens* Yes! A second book in a series that I LOVED! Perhaps it's because I've been reading teen book series lately, but the Curse of the Crappy Second Book has been prevalent in most series I've read lately. UNTIL NOW. I was a big fan of the first book and was recommended to me by a co-worker. I love the characters, but I also love the unapologetic wildness of the terra indigene. They are not human, therefore they will not act like them. No weepy or emo vampires, no stupid wolves. They are wild and animals, and the author does a wonderful job creating the most interesting characters. I also appreciate how the author gave each book a page-turning plot, but was able to wrap it up by the end. THANK YOU!! Ugh, cliff hangers for the sake of selling more books gets on my nerves. Sure, we're still left with HFL creating a racket, and then the complicated emotions between Simon and Meg are growing more intense, but I was able to read the book voraciously and then feel the satisfaction of a well-ended book when I finished.

"It was not a happy ending, but a happy middle..." Yup, that pretty much sums up this book, which, thank GOD was so much better than book 2! As I had mentioned, book 2 was all setup, so this book was all action, answers, and the setup for possibly a whole other series (*sigh*). It really is a great trilogy and I thoroughly enjoyed how she ended it! *applause*

Bad news: It didn't live up to all the hype I've been hearing. Good news: This book was great, but it didn't come close to overtaking the love in my heart that I have for Rowell's other book "Fangirl".

I was told that I would stay up all night reading it and couldn't put it down. I was easily able to put it down. The writing is poetic and great. I love her characters and the way Rainbow Rowell writes. It was just.... slow? Realistic. Real-time romance. Life is not one climactic event after another. This book reflects that. Sure, we're on edge with the threat of Eleanor's stepfather, and it does eventually pick up the pace during the last few chapters, but this book is told at the pace of real life. It also has a realistic ending (reminiscent of Levithan's "Every Day").

So all in all. A great book, just not what I was expecting.
