This was an usual read, but I did enjoy it.

All the surf/ski references went over my head though. ]]> <![CDATA[Kate is on page 60 of Crazy for the Storm:... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78546270 Kate is on page 60 of 272 of Crazy for the Storm: A Memoir of Survival ]]> <![CDATA[Kate added 'Eating Animals']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77660059 Eating Animals (Hardcover) by Jonathan Safran Foer

I finally finished this. On the whole, I thought the series was a little clumsy but this was definitely the best of the three. ]]> <![CDATA[Kate is on page 198 of City of Glass ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77557036 Kate is on page 198 of 541 of City of Glass ]]> <![CDATA[Kate voted on the book list YA Novels of 2010]]> http://www.goodreads.com/list/user_vote/224480 Kate added Crescendo to the book list YA Novels of 2010

Something about this did not sit well with me. I'm not sure that the message or the central character was all that nice - the whole thing left a sour taste in my mouth.

Still I couldn't put it down at the time, so I guess that warrants three reluctant stars. ]]> <![CDATA[Kate added 'The Wild Things']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59551074 to: The Wild Things (Hardcover) by Dave Eggers

I can't decide whether to give this one three or four stars! I'm sticking with four but definitely somewhere in the middle.

Enjoyable, quirky and fairly short. Probably unmemorable but sweet at the time. ]]>
