I think that Fahrenheit 451 feels less dark and has a slightly more optimistic view, which makes it a more enjoyable read.

Humor and dry wit lighten a travelogue of the most polluted and ravaged places in the world.

Ernest Cline does an excellent job with this mash-up novel.

There are examples of clunky, cliché-ridden writing that could've been smoothed over, but with the breakneck pacing and all the narrow escapes, betrayals and armored space-knights falling dramatically from the sky, every ugly sentence ended up in the rearview so quickly that there must've seemed little point.

I always love Kate and Curran’s developing relationship, and I cannot give it enough praise. I love that they made me like an Alpha hero (because to say that I usually don’t would be a huge understatement).

...great narrative nonfiction.

While chaotic at times, this delightfully zany novel is anything but disappointing, and Laurenston’s fans will gobble it up like Livy with a jar of cinnamon honey.

Little Brother is being marketed as a young-adult novel, but it's an entertaining, smart all-ages read . . . The tight thriller storyline and ripped-from-the-headlines immediacy are nigh-irresistible.

It is amazing to read about a hard-working detective that can still manage a family of ten children and a few difficulties in his love life.

The Black Dahlia is haunting, incomplete, because you never truly know what happened or who the murderer is.

This creates a narrative element that invites, and richly rewards, any amount of exploration and interpretation. If possible, read this book by candlelight. Thus illuminated, the gold edges of the paper catch the light and flicker like stardust as the leaves are turned.

This new volume, with its historical slant, its autobiographical material, its impressionistic descriptions of scenery, its occasional nostalgia and pleasing irony, confirms her reputation.

...is a heavenly book, a stellar achievement by a debut novelist that manages to combine sparkling prose with truly memorable, shining, characters. It contains constellations of grand images and ideas, gleams with vitality, and sparkles with wit.

...like an inverted pyramid, the novel thus builds itself up broadeningly while balanced on the frailest imaginable single point: the indestructibility--and battered-ness--of love. A lovely, painful book: Walker's finest work yet.

All Quiet on the Western Front is an amazing, unforgettable book–it’s just as relevant today as the day it was published.

This is just about the best way for Lowry to bookend a series she never intended to last beyond a single volume.

Dear reader, light your lamp and listen to the tale of Despereaux, the last mouse born of Antoinette.

It’s hard to compose facts and figures into a volume that reads as easily as a novel, loaded with derring-do and emotion. Mr. Holmes has succeeded at that challenge, profiling an important but underexamined aspect of human history that is uplifting in all its forms.
