Marcus Alexander Hart gave to: Civilwarland in Bad Decline by George Saunders read in January, 2012	My rating:
The reviews for "Civilwarland in Bad Decline" all seem to call it some variation on "dark and funny." This is misleading. It is dark, certainly. It's a collection of short stories that mostly center around a protagonist who for some reason (lack of ...more

Marcus Alexander Hart gave to: Twilight (Twilight, #1) by Stephenie Meyer recommended for: nobody who is over 14 years old, or a boy read in January, 2010	My rating:
I read this book to see what the hubbub was about. Don't you judge me. Waiting for the "big reveal" that Edward is a vampire is excruciating, but once the "secret" is out, the book picks up some steam. This is the only case in recent memory where I th...more

Marcus Alexander Hart gave to: Real World by Natsuo Kirino recommended for: Angsty teen girls read in November, 2011	My rating:
Blah blah blah, drama drama drama, nobody understands me and I can't be myself. I have no idea why I read this book. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but clearly it's not meant for me.

Marcus Alexander Hart gave to: The Thief Of Always by Clive Barker	My rating:
I'll be damned. Clive Barker wrote a children's book. "The Thief of Always" is the heavy-handed fable of a kid who is so bored and restless that he follows a sinister man to a wonderful place that turns out to be evil, and ultimately learns the valua...more

Marcus Alexander Hart gave to: The Unseen by Alexandra Sokoloff (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
I like Alexandra Sokoloff's books, but she really needs to give them less generic names. "Oh, it's a book about paranormal investigators trying to manifest a poltergeist. I think 'The Unseen' pretty much summarizes that concept as well as 'The Harr...more

Marcus Alexander Hart gave to: Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott	My rating:
I just want to say that I've been neglecting my Goodreads updates. It didn't really take me seven months to read a 100-page book. Anyway, after reading Flatland for the first time in ten years or so, I'm surprised at how much of the book is dedicated...more

Marcus Alexander Hart gave to: The Harrowing by Alexandra Sokoloff (Goodreads Author) read in April, 2011	My rating:
The back of this book calls it "The Breakfast Club meets Poltergeist," which is a fair assessment, but it's more than that. "The Harrowing" is the story of five misfits left at college over Thanksgiving break who discover a Ouija board and then... wel...more
