Zusak's descriptions of a childhood in Nazi Germany were absorbing...This one adds another layer and shows that suffering wasn't limited to those the Nazis sought to invade or destroy. For that reason and for all the ones I outline above, I highly recommend The Book Thief. I can say without hesitation it's the best book I've read all year.

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.

Ketchup Clouds is magic, if you allow it to be, and don't look at it with a reviewer's critical eye, like I did. A 4/5 for this brilliant book. And, when reading, as Aaron says, "Just fly …"

This series truly does improve with every installment. Mead's plot and characters continue to grow stronger as she weaves a tale full of powerful Moroi and their intimidating, dangerous guardians known as dhampirs...Shadow Kiss is the best book in the series so far. Mead took the story down an unimaginable path.

Politics and personal feelings get mixed up into a whirlwind and the pace is extraordinary until the end of the book. Ultimately, I did prefer Blood Promise although Spirit Bound is an excellent book...Rose is an endearing and flawed heroine who's matured greatly in the last two books but I'm pleased to say still has her rebellious streak.
