Question: How do you like the write?

I really did enjoy this book.  The plot was superb, the characters were believable and Martin's writing is quite excellent, though I think leaving the 2 R.R.s out of his name from the covers of his books would have been a wiser choice.  I do not like this series better then the Wheel of Time, but there are certain elements that are better.  Unpredictablity for one.  Robert Jordan can store some surprises up his sleeves now and then but nothing compared to Mr. Martin.  I also enjoy the fact that there is not simply one major enemy like en almost every fantasy, but rather many different factions all competing for the same goal and you don't know who you want to cheer for.  What I did not enjoy about these books, and the only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is the sex and rape.  It got really old and frankly it is just disgusting.  Yes, this was how it was back then and Mr. Martin wants to provide us with a semi-historic environment, but the details started to become unnecessary. I recommended this book to a friend and he almost can't stand reading it just because of the grusome details.  But putting that aside, this is an excellent book and some of the best fantasy out there today.  I enjoy the Wheel of Time very much, but for those of you who don't but still like a good epic fantasy, I would recommend A Song of Ice and Fire, starting with this book.  I have already started the second book and from the way it's turning out so far, that one WILL get 5 stars

Question: How is the quality of the concept on the story?

"The Hunger Games" is a wonderfully written tale set in the future where children are pitted against each other in gladiatorial like games. At face value, the book, which is a highly entertaining read, seems destined to become a classic. The author does an amazing job conveying the main character's thoughts and emotions as she is thrown through one terrible ordeal after another.The problem with the book is that the storyline did not end with any major surprises. I kept waiting for a plot twist that never occurred. The storyline ended almost exactly where I thought it would. Worse, the ending was abrupt and incomplete. That said, the book is part of a series, and presumably the storyline is not over. I was also dissatisfied that the book did not provide me with any deeper insight into humanity nor did it force me to look at the world differently. If there was a moral or point to the story I failed to understand it.To summarize, the author of the book did everything right. Perhaps that is the problem with the book. Because the author did everything right, the story feels too synthetic, too manufactured.

Question: When the book is more interesting?

Definitely deserving of it's status in the Best of 2012.  Gillian Flynn writes with razor-sharp insights into these deeply troubled, hateful but somehow lovable characters.  The mystery is intriguing, the plotting ingenious, the research excellent, but what I liked best of all was the examination of one of society's most revered institutions:  marriage.  As well, the social commentary and satire of America's media culture had me in stitches at times.  It seems the author allowed herself to have a great deal of fun with this novel.  I have already ordered her first two novels and hope to enjoy them.  Although she states that she didn't structure this book to allow for a sequel, I for one beg Gillian Flynn to revisit our deeply disturbed duo.

Question: Is it a good story line?

I was excited to come across a book that has over 4000 reviews, and still have 4.5 stars at that, so I knew it would be good...I didn't know it would be INCREDIBLE!  This book was NOT written hastily, it is apparent how well thought out and planned, and ultimately executed with every turn of the page.  The banter between the characters is also hilarious, especially at the beginning, I found myself laughing out loud so often I was happy I was just sitting on my couch reading it!  It is also a complete book from beginning to end (that can't be said for a lot of releases with similar young couples in the romance novel category around the same time frame) so that's worth a bonus star at this point too!  This was just a really good read, and would also be a really good movie too!

Question: Is this book probably too complicated?

Having enjoyed Donna Tartt's previous 2 books so much, I was eager to read her third novel. However,  I found that I got a bit bogged down in this one. The first third of the book was quite good, and after that it lost some steam and/or I just lost interest. What I would say to prospective readers is that if you have not read The Secret History, her highly acclaimed first book of some 10 years ago -- read that one first. While she is a good writer and her previous 2 novels were very engaging, this one was a little disappointing. For me the loose ends just did not come together at the end.

Question: How is the book?

(Spoiler alert)I just finished reading Mockingjay and had to write a review because I am floored at how bad this book is considering I absolutely loved the first two books in the series. I understand that war is not fun and that this series is not Harry Potter, but I never expected this book to be so dark and well, just flat out not fun. The first two books were serious, but action packed and had a certain momentum that kept the pages turning much the same way the Harry Potter series did. But this book is so far different in tone from the other two novels in the series that it's really shocking. There is no momentum whatsoever and there were substantial portions of this book that I started to skim out of sheer boredom, which never happened when I read the first two novels. This book is so strange that the only thing I can really compare it to is the movie Apocalypse Now because it is such a pyschological nightmare and of course the theme in both is that war is hell ("the horror, the horror"). The only difference is that I loved Apocalypse now, but Mockingjay is one of the worst novels (and sequels) that I have ever read. The things Katniss has to endure in this book (district 13 basically as bad as the capital, Peta becoming crazy, her sister being killed in the end, Katniss being burned basically from head to toe) is just flat out brutal. I guess I am naive because I expected this book to be kind of Star Warsish with the districts (the rebels) taking on and beating the evil capital in a thrilling conclusion. I figured Gale or Peta would die heroically and Katniss would live happily ever after with the survivor. But instead Katniss ends up broken both mentally and physically. I assume the author was not satisfied with writing something that was just a fun piece of popular fiction (like the Harry Potter series) and instead wanted something that would be remembered with the great works of literature (1984, Brave New World, Ender's Game, etc), but if that was the attempt then she has failed miserably. All I can really say in conclusion is that like a lot of people who loved the first two books in the series and I had very high hopes for Mockingjay, but in the end it is one of the most bizzarre, truly ugly novels I have ever read. It is so bad in fact that it will forever cloud my opinion of the series as a whole.

Question: How is the story?

Synopsis:Drew is your typical top-of-the-food-chain playboy with a no nonsense, tell it like it is attitude. He is the best at everything and is used to getting everything he wants. Women are nothing more than a release to him and love doesn't even factor into his thoughts. Until he sees her. She is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen and the most intriguing. She doesn't fall at his feet begging to go home with him, she walks away. Little does he know, she is just starting a new job at his firm. Things are about to get interesting.Review:I decided to read this book based upon the rave reviews it was getting. The fact that it is written from a man's perspective is great. And the fact that he isn't an angsty romantic, but a total guy in all of his glory is even better. I laughed my ass off reading this book. The fact that so many of my friends are male and I happen to know that they think exactly like Drew, made it even funnier. In fact, I think I have actually heard a few of these lines before in real life.The characters in this book are funny and play their parts well. I loved Drew. Not because of his looks or status or anything ridiculous like that, but because he was real and didn't apologize for it. Men just aren't men like they used to be, and it's nice to read a character like this, even if he does have his slappable moments. Kate is one tough cookie and I loved that. She wasn't a lay down and take it type of girl. She is strong and independent and fights to get hers. I loved that she wasn't portrayed as weak even once in this book. The supporting cast is great as well.The relationship between Drew and Kate develops nicely. There is a definite attraction, but it isn't love at first sight. They have a love/hate thing going on and its pretty hilarious. I also have to mention that this book has some pretty hot sex scenes. One in particular was one of the sexiest I've read.I really wanted this to be a 5-star book, but I wouldn't feel right rating it above a 4. Don't get me wrong, it is great, but there was a piece missing. I can't really put my finger on it. With all that said, this was a pretty great debut for Emma Chase. I will definitely be following her future work. READ IT!

Women are nothing more than a release to him and love doesn't even factor into his thoughts. Until he sees her. She is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen and the most intriguing. She doesn't fall at his feet begging to go home with him, she walks away. Little does he know, she is just starting a new job at his firm. Things are about to get interesting. Review:I decided to read this book based upon the rave reviews it was getting. The fact that it is written from a man's perspective is great. And the fact that he isn't an angsty romantic, but a total guy in all of his glory is even better. I laughed my ass off reading this book. The fact that so many of my friends are male and I happen to know that they think exactly like Drew, made it even funnier. In fact, I think I have actually heard a few of these lines before in real life. The characters in this book are funny and play their parts well. I loved Drew. Not because of his looks or status or anything ridiculous like that, but because he was real and didn't apologize for it. Men just aren't men like they used to be, and it's nice to read a character like this, even if he does have his slappable moments. Kate is one tough cookie and I loved that. She wasn't a lay down and take it type of girl. She is strong and independent and fights to get hers. I loved that she wasn't portrayed as weak even once in this book. The supporting cast is great as well. The relationship between Drew and Kate develops nicely. There is a definite attraction, but it isn't love at first sight. They have a love/hate thing going on and its pretty hilarious. I also have to mention that this book has some pretty hot sex scenes. One in particular was one of the sexiest I've read. I really wanted this to be a 5-star book, but I wouldn't feel right rating it above a 4. Don't get me wrong, it is great, but there was a piece missing. I can't really put my finger on it. With all that said, this was a pretty great debut for Emma Chase. I will definitely be following her future work. READ IT!

Question: How is book?

I try to read fiction interspersed with all the non-fiction reading to give myself a break from harder reading and so I decided to give `Hunger Games' a go after seeing that the movie was going to come out and asking my mom if the book was worth it.  She said to read the series.  I read the book in two days.  I found the topic interesting in that the future where a small group of elite control everything and live high off the hog while basically enslaving the rest of the people to work and live in squalor is actually, if you read around off the beaten path, a goal of the powers that be psychopaths running the show currently.  If you read what is being funded by the government (think DARPA) you will see the technological horrors presented in the book or something along the same lines are being furiously pursued by the elite.  They want total control and are pursuing a means to that end.And so it was with that in mind that I think the book has relevance not only for entertainment.  I think it shows what the future holds unless people of conscience stop wanting to just have a quiet life without the responsibility to question and champion the causes of liberty and freedom.  The hunger games parallel the dog eat dog entertainment we are presented with as normal, such as Survivor, and it is high time take the blinders off and see the crap presented by the elite for what it is.  Sad to say the final touches on total National Security State are being put on as I write (NDAA, Executive Orders for full confiscation powers, Patriot Act renewal, etc).  It isn't for the majority of peoples benefit where something akin the life portrayed in this book is a rosy picture as compared to what is actually coming down the pipe.

Question: Where its began to be hot the story?

I was really looking forward to reading this book after all the phenomenal reviews I read for it.  Unfortunately, it didn't meet that for me.  The story became repetitive.  Brooke's feelings about every situation were described, in detail, and sometimes to the point of boredom.The story was good, and somewhat different.  With the exception of the licking (WTH?!?), the love scenes were hot.  I get that the "it" formatting style is to tell the reader that He.Is.So.Hot., however the use of that for emphasis was overdone here.All in all, didn't live up to the hype.  Not sure ill read the next one.

Answer: Not sure

Question: How do you like the grasp?

In this age of marketing, advertising and intensive information exchange, superlative adjectives tend to be overused and abused.  How can everything be unique or spectacular, for then good would surely be reduced to average?  However, certain books (like any work of art or product/commodity) turn  out to be true Classics, with broader and broader appeal; they actually  improve with age as fine wine.Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, can only  be described as a true classic.  It is a unique and brilliantly written  work that keeps the reader enthralled and entertained throughout.  The  novel reads better now than when it was first published twenty-three years  ago.  The first book in a series (now five books total) of stories that  revolve around lead character Andrew (Ender) Wiggin, Card weaves a totally  believable universe containing two completely incompatible and utterly  at-odds interplanetary species.  One is the human race and one is a society  of creatures known only as the "Buggers" due to their resemblance  to insects.  Earth society has temporarily suspended international  hostilities to join together and fight the alien menace.  This  international cooperation spawns a worldwide recruiting process to  identify, gather and train the best and brightest child minds.  The  ultimate goal is to mold them into leaders of the future human  attack/defense forces against the alien Buggers.Card does an amazing job  of relating the thoughts and fears of children in the story, who are almost  exclusively the main characters.  Also, he provides the characters with  passion, strength and emotions that one would expect to see in children  pushed to the brink of endurance.  Title character Ender Wiggin is  unknowingly pre-selected to lead the human forces pending his successful  training regimen, and the majority of the novel focuses in the time period  Ender spends training in Card's wonderful invention, the "Battle  Room".  The Battle Room and the "Battle School" are the main  reasons this novel is great SF.  It combines futuristic scientific  applications that seem only just outside of current human reach, such as  interstellar travel and control of gravity, plus the wonderfully depicted  psychological interplay of a group of the most talented and aggressive  youths the planet has to offer.Stylistically, Card is an excellent  writer.  His dialogue is top notch, and readers become very interested in  the characters he aptly portrays.  He uses strong, active verbs, that keep  you on edge and reading the story way past bedtime.  Recently, Card  published the fifth novel in the series, Ender's Shadow, which retells the  same story from the angle of a different character.  Fans already familiar  with the series will find the desire to re-read Ender's Game to  cross-reference the newest addition to the Ender Universe.  Like many great  works by Jules Verne, appreciation of the Ender Universe continues to grow  as time passes.  The exponential increases in current technology in recent  years only help bring Card's ideas into sharper focus and greater  believability.This is a must read book for all that claim to be fans of  the SF genre.  However, the story also stands on its own with exciting  action sequences and exceptionally likeable and well developed characters.  It was both a Hugo and Nebula award winner, which is validaion to give it  an automatic read for most SF fans.  Do so, you will be glad you did.

Question: How is novel?

Outlander is one of those rare books that takes up permanent residence in your heart. The language is beautiful, detailed, and intricate. The story and setting are captivating. The characters come alive with clever dialogue and vivid descriptions. The novel grips you to the very end and leaves you wanting more. Thankfully, there are several more books in the series, each just as good as the last, while at the same time each stands on its own two metaphorical feet, continuing the story without ever being repetitive. Thank you Diana Gabaldon.End-note: this novel is intended for Adult readers. There is mature content within. For example, do not take it as a gift to a 12 year old's birthday party, or allow anyone really under the age of eighteen or so to randomly flip open a page. Keep it for yourself, recommend it to your (grown-up) friends, and enjoy the ride :)

I finished the entire thing in a couple of hours when I should have been studying for midterms becuase I have been addicted. Since then, I have purchased the entire series and am on the third book. I usually do not write reviews on the books I read however, I decided to write one to hopefully encourage more people to read this book. You will not regret it, and even if on the off chance that you did not like this book, there was never any harm because it was FREE! Love this series!

Question: What point does the book make clear?

I give this two stars instead of one because it does have a valid point about adapting to the dizzying change going on around us and finding how to best contribute in this new world.However, the undeniable fact is that there is a lot less cheese than there used to be. The corporate CEOs, the crooked bankers, the defense contractors, the Walton family, and others have grabbed trillions of dollars worth of cheese from the rest of us. So, when we go in search of cheese, most people will find only inferior cheese--and much less of it.The moral of the story is that if we are suffering due to lack of cheese, it is our fault. It's the mean-spirited, idiotic ideology preached by Herman Cain, who told America, "Don't blame Wall Street. Don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself."  Yeah, right.BTW, if you're wondering where the cheese was moved, it's in the Caymen Islands and other offshore tax shelters.  According to Forbes Magazine, the super rich have stashed $21 Trillion in "cheese." Maybe one day the people in our government will get some balls and make them bring it back.[...]

Question: Is this book interesting?

Hey! I love my audible books and this was the first I have had that has a man and a woman reading. I loved it. I love listening in my car and this is one that I probably wasted a lot of time and gas just hanging out in my car...driving home slower...to work slower.I must say that Amy in this book is so smart...even the author is so smart or rather clear headed. With my ADD there is no way I could figure out how to do something like this. I must admit I had figured out what had happened pretty early on but I can tell you that it does not diminish the story line.It does seem set up a little to have another book...which I would be happy to read.They are filming the movie down close to my hometown in Cape Giradeau, MO. Ben Affleck is playing Nick I guess and not sure of the rest. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT IN AUDIO!!

Question: How was the story line?

This book has great descriptive writing. Although the story is obviously fiction, it is interesting and almost believable that this storyline could happen in the future. I like the fact that the author intertwines romance with a story of survival. I can't wait to read the next book.

Question: Who is in the main role in this book?

Not that impressed. Suddenly Harry Bosch is working homicides again without any mention as to why he left closed cases and I'm not that big of fan of Micky Haller. Very disappointed that Harry Bosch was cast into a supportive role and that role was very minor. And suddenly he and Mike Haller are step-bothers.

Question: How is end?

I have never read anything quite like this book before.  On the surface it's a very simple story, but underneath it digs much deeper.This is more than just a story of a boy and some zoo animals on a lifeboat.  It's a great story of survival but also goes far beyond that.The pacing of the book is fairly slow.  The prep work and detail before Pi makes it onto the boat takes about 100 pages, and the bulk of the book takes place on the lifeboat.  The pacing doesn't make it boring, the book held my interest, but I will call it an investment.I don't want to ruin anything in the story.  I thought the ending was amazing, and made the rest of the book that much more powerful.Although the book didn't make me "believe in God," I won't be forgetting it anytime soon.

Question: How enjoyble is the story line of the work?

I've heard good things about this author and saw this book on the bestseller list, so I decided to read it. I am a New Adult fan and read books by other authors of the genre, so going into this I kind of knew what to expect. As other reviewers have pointed out, the basic storyline for New Adult novels tend to be the same - the hero and the heroine both have secrets in their pasts that somehow affect the present. They meet, develop a relationship (or sometimes there is no development at all), get sexual, break up at one point, and then make up and everything is fixed and they have more sex. I'm okay with this because I know this is what I'm getting.In this one, I really felt like the development of the relationship was well done. There are so many books where the love is instantaneous, which is not accurate to real life (not mine anyway). But in this one, even though the initial attraction was there, the relationship developed over a course of months instead of over hours or days. This made the relationship more realistic to me and I appreciated it.This also gave me time to fall totally in love with Cam, which I did. Of course he's gorgeous - that's just the way it is in this genre; all the men are basically photoshopped love gods - but he is so much more than that. He's clever and snarky and compassionate and caring, and he is so patient with Avery while she is struggling along. And maybe it's just me, but I loved how Cam was always turning his cap backwards when he was having a serious moment. I loved that characteristic that really made it seem like he was listening.Overall, the story was great. It was formulaic to the genre, as I mentioned above, but I understand what I'm getting when I buy NA and I'm fine with it. The supporting characters were also enjoyable, and I would definitely read more by this author based on the story.The writing, however, left something to be desired. Or, more accurately, the editing. There were grammar and spelling errors, words left out, words switched around, phrasing issues, and little problems that could have easily been edited that would have made the reading experience so much more enjoyable. I would have gone four stars because I loved Cam so much and I loved the story, but the editing problems were too much of a distraction. I don't mind a few, but when it's every paragraph or every other sentence, I feel like that's too much.Would I recommend? If you like this genre, definitely. I would probably reread this book just because of Cam, but I wish the author would release a better edited version. If editing errors bother you, this won't be an enjoyable read for you.

Question: How is the future in that story?

I like his work and the research put into his writing  the problem confronted is very real.  The plots did run a little similar in pace and hurry as the DaVinci code
