K.D. Absolutely Great review, Karen. I will read this book soon and see and compare my notes with yours. Thanks!

Jasmine I was actually adopted, I am fairly sure. don't tell my parents I know.


message 4: by Weinz (new)

Weinz My nine-year-old read the entire series this summer and loved them.

great books.

karen no one in particular, i just want to be an heiress. i have worked hard enough, i would like to retire to my inherited castle and read for a year before returning to the workforce. IS THAT SO WRONG???

but if it were a god-situation, i could be poseidon's kid; that would be all right.


message 6: by Greg (new)

Greg What the fuck, I just went to your profile page and a talking ad came on the screen something about new mothers. Is this your doing? Is there something I should know about? Have you given birth to a child and given the child away and one day that child will dream that it had been adopted and little will it know that it's mother is the Queen of Goodreads.com?


message 7: by karen (new)

karen really?? i never have my sound on so i am rarely afflicted by these ads you people complain about all the time. maybe goodreads.com is trying to impregnate me, and i will give birth to that bee or something...


message 8: by Alan (new)

Alan any current religious disagreements will be just like poseidon and athena's quarrels - Karen, dead right: you should go and sort out the Middle East now.

i know, right?? my skills are being totally wasted here shelving books... i think i shall replace the u.n. with... just me.


Joshua Nomen-Mutatio Heh. You are a pretty united person after all. I just picture Little Bossy Karen treating entire nations like elementary school friends: "Okay, Yemen, now we're gonna play dress-up. Put the Legos away. And stop oppressing your citizenry, mmmkay?"

The only thing more horrifying would be if the bee is born with a conjoined twin. And they're fucking.

It just occurred to me that it would be a lot harder these days to hide your secrets from ad algorithms than to delete browser history and cookies.

make me sound smart.


message 40: by Dawson (new)

Dawson Lowe You said that it was meant for kids but your review was targeted more to adults with the word choice you used. Kids would have a hard time knowing if they would want to read the book or not based on this review.


message 41: by karen (new)

karen the book is targeted towards young readers but i am grown and this review is my response to what i read. kids don't look to me to figure out whether or not they want to read a book - they don't care what old fogeys think.
