Lovely Bones- Alice Sebold

So my lovely friend Nikki mailed me this book all the way from Dallas to Brussels after hearing me complain that they didn’t have a Kindle version available.

They just made a movie about this book and so before the movie came out, I wanted to read the book.

You know, so I could get irritated at how much better the book was than the movie.

I liked it.

I mean, it’s dark. Don’t get me wrong. But I enjoyed the book.

I’m going to go ahead and give it 4 stars and say I would recommend it.

Genesis of Shannara Trilogy- Terry Brooks

Well I already wrote about Gypsy Morph and here are the first two books in the Genesis of Shannara series.

REALLY liked this series. Definitely better then Word/Void series and a great lead up to Sword of Shannara.

I’m telling you people, if you like fantasy and you like series, you should read these books!

5 stars and I recommend

Time Traveler’s Wife- Audrey Niffenegger

Okay, did you see the movie?

Well the book pulls the movie’s pants down and gives it a bare bottom spanking.
It’s THAT much better.

I mean, I cried in the book and just sat through the movie thinking, WHAT? That’s not how that happened!

So yes, read the book and erase the movie from your memory with the true reality of the Time Traveler’s Wife!

5 stars and I recommend it!

Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr- Christopher Paolini

I love dragons.

I do.

Did you ever see that movie with Matthew McConaughey, Reign of Fire? Matthew was all dragon killer with those hot tatoos all over his body… oh wait, that’s not why I love dragons, just a nice mental picture.

No seriously, my love of dragons stems back to Puff the Magic Dragon and my dad always singing us that song when we were younger.

Eragon was a great book and you’ll be even more impressed when you find out that he was just 16 when he wrote the thing! He literally created his own language, a people group, his own world! My hat goes off to Christopher for putting together and AMAZING series.

However, I am SO not happy with the fact that he decided to write a 4th book and is now taking his SWEET ace time getting it written. There isn’t even a projected release date or anything on the website. Boo Christopher for that. Get to writing!

Gets a little wordy at times, but I can’t give him anything less than 5 stars due to the sheer brillance of his story and the way it untangles.
5 stars and definitely recommend.
