Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I've finished reading The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck by John Steinbeck. The Grapes of Wrath is a beautifully written but extremely moving and heartbreaking novel with interesting, realistic and well-developed characters. I love John Steinbeck's wonderful writing style. I just loved his fantastic vivid descriptions of the landscape and the people. At times the descriptions of the barren landscape and the appalling conditions the family have to put up with is very depressing. I wanted to put the book down sometimes due to this but I'm glad a persevered through and finished the novel.This novel well deserved the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction it won in 1940 and it really is a masterpiece of 20th Century literature. It is definitely a must read! Four stars!

The book was really good a quick read as well. Ellis kinda reminded me of christopher moore (if you haven't read him you must) but on a much more deranged and creepy level. I recommend it mostly because it made me want to read more books by him.

This EU behind-the-scenes look has palace intrigue, humor, a murder mystery, and is a pretty fine read.

Jason (jokers_knight_out) Stephen King-wise, The Colorado Kid and Under the Dome (hoping to finish it before it appears on ABC this summer). Non-Stephen King-wise, Unlocked by Karen Kingsbury, A Magic Broken by Vox Day, Subterranea by Mike Duran, and Rift Jump by Greg Mitchell.

Hey Crystal, that is what I am reading. I am on page 135. So far, it had been just alright. A kid from class raved about it, said it was his favorite book, so I decided to pick it up and read.


Joann H (Sshh!!! I'm reading) | 4 comments Finishing up Beautiful Darkness. I wanna read the book before i watch the movie so I can judge and prove to myself once again how books are always better than the movie versions. :)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I've just finished The Divide by Nicholas Evans by Nicholas Evans and Plum Lovin' (Stephanie Plum, #12.5) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich.

The Divide started off so well but the plot did get quite slow halfway through the book. I did wish it would speed up at times but the story did remain strangely engaging. The last 60 or 70 pages of the novel were just as gripping and compelling as the first half of the novel. To tell the truth, I enjoyed the family drama sub-plot a lot more than I liked the murder mystery plot but I think that was probably because I didn't like the character of Abbie all that much so I found it hard to care about what happened to her. I loved all the vivid and wonderful descriptions of the Montana setting and landscape that made me feel like I was actually there. Nicholas Evans has got a great writing style and I love his use of language and imagery. I gave this novel 3½ stars!

I love all the regular Stephanie Plum novels but I'm not sure I like these between the numbers novellas. I was very disappointed by Plum Lovin'. Nothing much happened in it and it was extremely dull and boring. It wasn't anywhere near as funny as the regular novels do be and I really hate the supernatural element in the novella. I gave it 1½ stars!

Now I'm a few chapters into The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly by Jennifer Donnelly.
