“Homework strongly indicates that the teachers are not doing their jobs well enough during the school day. It's not like they'll let you bring your home stuff to school and work on it there. You can't say, 'I didn't finish sleeping at home, so I have to work on finishing my sleep here.”

| I really enjoyed this one. Yes, the world-building is conspicuously missing. I think that may throw off some readers who will wonder how we got to this point. I did wonder a few times, but I could also see examples in history of a horrific regime ari...more | |

| This book of history is well written and I learned a few things while reading it. It covers an interesting period in American history, particularly the World Wars, and the author's perspective on various events is interesting and fresh. Although the...more | |

| This Cahills vs. Vespers series sure seems a lot darker than the 39 Clues series. This is an okay entry, but it doesn't move the story much further along. We do get to cast suspicions on new characters though, and find out that the Vespers have spies...more | |

| I really like the book, although I found it surprising that everyone forgave Jamie so quickly for publicly mocking them for the sake of comedy. I really think that should have been covered a little differently. I feel like all of the male characters...more | |

My feelings about this book: 1. I am SO glad the series is finally over. Woo-hoo! 2. I still have no idea what the point of the series was. Basically, the same thing happened in every book. Except I think the world ended this time. Maybe. Still not sur...more |

| I was prepared to love the book, just as I loved Liesl and Po, but this was a no go for me. I just couldn't get into the story. The descriptions were vivid, if bleak, but I just didn't care about the characters or the premise. | |

“Emily just knew that the grocery store clerk’s cousin had slipped on a bath mat and fallen out a second-story open window only to be saved because the woman landed on a discarded mattress.
But what interested Emily most about the incident was how the cousin had subsequently met a man in physical therapy who introduced her to his half brother who she ended up marrying and then running over with her car a year later after a heated argument. And that man, it was discovered, had been the one to dump the mattress in her yard.
He’d saved her so that she could later cripple him.
Emily found that not ironic but intriguing.
Because everything, she believed, was connected.”

“The last time Wendell's mother had caught them playing cowboys and Indians, she'd read them a twenty-minute lecture on the history of Native American oppression, which had really put a damper on things. It was hard to have a thrilling shoot-out while yelling: 'I respect your position and hope that we can come to a mutually respectful conclusion!”
