bookshelves: teen
interesting and very, very weird. a kid's small, religious town goes crazy over....spilling. yes, spilling. the sin of onan. look it up:) anywho, turns out that a fallen angel is fixated on the sin and makes the town go nuts to the point of pouring boiling oil on a sinner's private parts. quick read, short. easy push for a reluctant reader. recommend to kids who liked repossessed. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76325083 to: Fallen (Hardcover) by Lauren Kate
bookshelves: advanced-copy, teen
another one that wasn't my bag:) very gothic and romantic, i think that kate is going to be the next big teen 'thing'. the angels/demons concept is going to replace vampires in the teen romance genre for shizzle. i gave this book away happily because i know about 50 teens who will want to read it!
there was not alot of action in this book, more drama and romance than anything else. it seemed like she set it up for the 2nd book to have a lot more action in it. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77572584 Fantastic Mr. Fox (Hardcover) by Roald Dahl

bookshelves: kids
i guess this just wasn't my bag. i like the greek mythology, but didn't really like percy. i felt the same about him in clash of the titans. would reccommend to younger boy readers though and i can see why so many people like it. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76325111 to: Last Night I Sang to the Monster (Hardcover) by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
bookshelves: advanced-copy, grownups-fiction
this was a good read, very comforting. i liked the way he worked out his troubles in the end and saw hope. i think it is very like the America book by ER Frank, except with less cussing. Saenz is a thoughtful writer with the ability to create realistic characters but still not offend anyone. a good read for older teens and i would reccommend to younger teens who are good readers. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76325182 The Anthologist (hardcover) by Nicholson Baker

bookshelves: teen
i wasn't as in love with this as i am with harrison's grown up books. perhaps the subject matter, or the characterization left me out. an interesting topic though. madison is dead but still walking around. she's in search of her body and is on the run from a really hot bad guy (typical harrison there!) there are guardian angels and time keepers and good angels and bad angels. and madison is just trying to get her body back and live a normal life. i think teens will like it more than i did. ]]>
