A fascinating look at the continuing conflict between Israel and Palestine; particularly as it's written by a Jewish author. Great story with truly thoughtful insights into culture and personality. Still not quite sure how the language of math works,...more

Megan rated a book 3 of 5 stars Billy Creekmore by Tracey Porter read in April, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
An historical fiction set in a coal-mining town in West Virginia. I liked it, but there were too many settings for Billy in such a short novel, so I was a little disappointed in the story itself. I like Billy's voice - it's just not a must-read.

This is packaged as a young adult novel - it isn't. I listened to it, something I don't generally do as the narrator is key to the story, and so many are bad. . . Anyway, it's very well narrated, and the story does have a fascinating premise and fini...more

Cute quick read, suspenseful, nice tie-up at the end. A bit like Mary Stewart, whom I love. It's not fair, but as an English teacher, when a writer takes issue with a grammatical structure, and then uses it in the novel themselves, I get irritated. G...more

Megan rated a book 2 of 5 stars The Death Cure (Maze Runner, #3) by James Dashner (Goodreads Author) read in April, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
The writing is good, the characterization pretty well done, but the ending of the third book in the trilogy negated the point of the entire series. No point to the series except to make money by selling three books instead of one. Blech.
