Brian's Recent Updates

Brian Regan gave to: Legend (Legend, #1) by Marie Lu (Goodreads Author) read in February, 2012	My rating:
Somewhere between Hunger Games and Shipbreaker, you'll find Legend, a cool dystopian adventure yarn about a girl and guy from opposite sides of the tracks in flooded-out, totalitarian future LA. Loved it. Can't wait for the inevitable trilogy!

Brian Regan made a comment on his review of Dead End in Norvelt "Ann - I might have been (a little) less harsh if it hadn't won the bloody NEWBERY! And there were so many other, better choices - Okay For Now, anyon...more"

Brian Regan gave to: Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos read in January, 2012	My rating:
Well, it took me a week to slog through this. Not a great opener for a review of this year's Newbery winner, eh? This is not a great book. I have no idea what the room full of librarians in Texas was thinking. It was at times amusing, certainly o...more

Brian Regan gave to: The Savage by David Almond read in January, 2012	My rating:
Very creepy art by one of my favorite illustrators; an interesting, odd tale from an author I'm still not sure about...

Brian Regan gave to: Liesl and Po by Lauren Oliver (Goodreads Author) read in January, 2012	My rating:
A charming, engaging, fun read. I stayed up later than I should have after a long day to finish it! In tone and subject matter it reminded me a bit of the Graveyard Book. Recommended.

Brian Regan gave to: A Web of Air (The Hungry City Chronicles Prequel, #2) by Philip Reeve read in January, 2012	My rating:
Not as good as the first book (Fever Crumb), or rather, this feels very much like the middle of a trilogy (as it is). Reeve's post-apocalyptic world is still fascinating, and some new colorful characters enter the picture, but it ends feeling very u...more

Brian Regan gave to: Fever Crumb (The Hungry City Chronicles Prequel, #1) by Philip Reeve read in January, 2012	My rating:
Cool steampunk, pacing is uneven, but a nicely realized dystopian future. My favorite bit: the cult members walking through the streets of London chanting their prophet's name: "Hari Potter, Hari Hari Potter"... Heading right into the sequel: Web o...more

Brian Regan gave to: The Future of Us by Jay Asher read in December, 2011	My rating:
Great premise, falls down a bit in the end, but overall an interesting read about the choices we make and the ripples that result from them. Lots of fun references to mid-90's internet infancy and culture that most younger readers will miss.
