Vernon God Little

nobody@vox.com(Lightchaser) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 05:59:11 -0700

This is the first Booker-Prize-winning book that I have actually liked, and I must admit to being quite surprised by it. I could call this "The Catcher in the Rye of our times," but it would be unnecessary because Vernon God Little manages to hol...

Simon Says by Lori Foster Okay, this book was okay...I guess. I wouldn't read it twice, like i did with the Twilight series. But Lori, you could have done better than this book. You made the character, Simon, seem older than he was. And gosh, Da...

This is the 32nd book I have read this year, and I would give it 2.5 out of 5. Unfortunately, the trite and cliched writing let this book down - a shame, because the story itself is very gripping, even if there were a few too many convenient coi...
