Not quite so awesome as book 1, but not less awesome by enough to deserve fewer than 5 stars. A little more out there than the tightly conceived first book, but definitely opens the door for a great 3rd chapter. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70729855 City of Bones (Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare

3 nice stories. One psychological fantasy with mind-game, one with nature versus money and frogs, and one with Nigerian e-mail schemes and a nice little romance. Always fun to read 170 pages in 20 minutes. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70466985 to: The Hunger Games (Hunger Games, #1) by Suzanne Collins

Man this is good. Mix Hatchet with Gladiator, and with a really good action romance plot. I'll be getting to the sequel asap! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7712275 to: To Kill a Mockingbird (Paperback) by Harper Lee

Didn't live up to my high expectations. Good adult characters, but the story was too predictable. Still glad I read it. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69465790 to: Graceling (Hardcover) by Kristin Cashore

Really excellent, except for the obvious naming of kingdoms n, e, s, and w. Nice elements of romance along with action and conflict. Fantasy elements were a little loose, but the story overcame them. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69403998 to: Cannery Row (Centennial Edition) by John Steinbeck

I do like Steinbeck's writing, though I can see how a longer novel with more description might become tiresome. I'll try another one and see. ]]>
