It's a demon-eat-demon world for Nick Gautier. Just when he thinks he's finally gotten a handle on how not to take over the world and destroy it, Death returns with an all-star cast that is determined to end the Malachai reign and lineage forever. Worse? Death and War have found the one, true enemy Nick can't find, and even if he did, it's one he could never bring himself to banish or kill. Now framed for murders he hasn't committed, and surrounded by new friends who might be turncoats, Nick is learning fast how his father went down in flames.

But is this the last one in the series? I need another one! I really like this series. It’s up there with the Raven Cycle.

In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

I loved this book. I’ve read it twice. The second time was to refresh my memory before I see the movie. I’m sure there will be changes but I’m expecting it to be pretty incredible.

Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. A senior in high school, he's still secretly preoccupied with a series of fantasy novels he read as a child, set in a magical land called Fillory. Imagine his surprise when he finds himself unexpectedly admitted to a very secret, very exclusive college of magic in upstate New York, where he receives a thorough and rigorous education in the craft of modern sorcery.

Had a hard time fully getting into it towards the end. I'm hoping it all comes together for me as I move to the next book.

I'm a huge fan of the author. The Greisha series is a favorite of mine.
My only negative is there were too many narrators. Lauren Fortgang alone would have done the trick.

The selection began with 35 girls. Now, with the group narrowed down to the Elite, the competition to win Prince Maxon's love is fiercer than ever. The closer America gets to the crown, the more she struggles to figure out where her heart truly lies. Each moment she spends with Maxon is like a fairy tale, filled with breathless, glittering romance. But whenever she sees her first love, Aspen, standing guard, she's swept up in longing for the life they'd planned to share.

As soon as I finished book one I started book two and now I'm ready for three. There were a few moments when I shouted at my speakers, "Get over yourself and admit you love Maxon!!!" And "Forget Aspen!!!" I still loved the story.

A great ending to a great trilogy
Revisado: 09-24-12
Would you consider the audio edition of Mockingjay to be better than the print version?
I consider the audio edition better only because it allows me to enjoy the book anywhere, and at any time.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I can't say that I had a favorite character. I liked them all in their for different reason. Katnis for her drive, Gayle for his loyalty, Peta for his innocence.
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene was where Katnis when to shoot snow and shot the women instead. That was GREAT!!! I was surprised, but thought it was the right move.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I had a lot of WOW moments, but not crying. Sure there was some laughing.

Great story!
Revisado: 08-15-12
What did you love best about The Perks of Being a Wallflower?
I was not familiar with this book until I saw the trailer for the movie this past weekend. This story had me from the start and will stick with me for a long time.
What did you like best about this story?
It was very well written. I liked the use of letters to tell the story.
Have you listened to any of Johnny Heller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first time I have listened to Johnny Heller. He was perfect for the character. Since everything was told in the form of a letter, everything coming across in Charlie's voice was perfect to me. Now if only they could have done as well with Fifty Shades.
If you could take any character from The Perks of Being a Wallflower out to dinner, who would it be and why?
I would have to say Patrick. He was a riot! Great music taste too.

Great story. Horrible narration
Revisado: 04-26-12
Would you listen to Fifty Shades of Grey again? Why?
Even with the modifications to the narration (slowing and deepening her voice) she is still rather annoying. It is such a great story I will just purchase the book so that I can take in the entire story.
What other book might you compare Fifty Shades of Grey to and why?
This book sort of reminds me of a vampire story except Christian is a living breathing human. His secret life mixed with his good looks makes him the guy she wants to hate but can't resist the power he has casts over her.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Becca Battoe?
Not sure. Becca made it sound more like a Judy Bloom novel! I wanted to go dig out ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME MARGARET.
