Thomas's Recent Updates

The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare
" Clockwork Angel: Other than the enormous flaw that the cast is identical to that of The Mortal Instruments, this was a great start to the series. I loved the way that Clare handled 19th century London, the writing was beautiful without the similes... "

Hunger by Michael  Grant
" This is the best piece of YA commercial lit I've ever read.

Books filled with action like this, ones that are obviously marketed exclusively towards reluctant readers and boys (publishing companies typically consider the two to be one and the same)... "

Where You Are by J.H. Trumble
" I kind of struggled between giving this a 3 star rating or a 4 star rating. In the end I decided for a 3 star, but maybe I'll revisit this later. I really enjoyed this book. It was well written and I loved the characters. I also really liked the w... "

Requiem (Delirium, #3)
by Lauren Oliver (Goodreads Author)

Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Hamlet
by William Shakespeare
read in April, 2013
Hamlet is one of those books people can analyze, discuss, and philosophize about. On an intellectual level, like a lot of literature, it possesses great merit. It's much more enriching than the "oh, that b*stard killed my father, I will now seek my r...more

Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices, #3)
by Cassandra Clare (Goodreads Author)
read in April, 2013
In 23 days I'll be 18. That's part of the reason why I'm giving Clockwork Princess five stars, even if it may not deserve all of them.

There were definite imperfections within the finale of the Infernal Devices trilogy. Some of the plot twists could h...more

John Steinbeck
“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

John Steinbeck
“Try to understand men. If you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and almost always leads to love.”
