Oh, so you haven't read the books because you're waiting to see all the movies? You must live on the same planet as my sister in law, who is doing that But everyone else on the planet read the books first Truthfully, I found some of the parts of this book to drag Like when they're looking for horcruxes and camping hither and yon But, the payoff is superfabulous, if sad And not exactly what I expected, and so very satisfying I don't know what else to say without spoiling it for you [read full review]]]>www.sazze.comWed, 01 Dec 2010 22:26:53 -0800By: Nikki W.

I read this on a recommendation from a review on Amazon They mentioned how it was comparable to Sherrilyn Kenyon's books and I do love her stories so I figured, hey, why not Although, the story was good I'm not going to debate that I think the problem lies in the fact that I started this as an audiobook The narrator was just not good in my opinion He would be doing voices and all of a sudden the male would stop speaking in a Spanish accent or the main characters voice would change into the female part even though it was clearly still the main character, Wrath, speaking It was so very...

When I read a book, I expect to read a good one But this book was not only a good one, but instead fantastic I absolutely fell in love with the character's in this book I originally saw the film first because I didn't know it was a book until after I had seen it, but my English teacher recommended this to me and I couldn't say no because she always recommends brilliant books to me, and she wouldn't let me say no :b With that being said, I might have a different take on the book than other people do Seeing the film made me more prepared for what would happen in the book however it did not...

I read the world's first "Digi-Novel," and I LOVED it! It was extremely disturbing, exciting, and a TOTAL page turner Written by Anthony Zuiker and Duane Swierczynski (whose names you may recognize from CSI), its an interactive novel, where every 20 pages or so, you log into the Level26 website and watch a professionally made video accompaning what you just read It may be an incoming voicemail you hear, or a video clip of the killer's latest victim You never know! Some people may skip the digital tie-ins, but as the case progresses, you find out vital information from these clips Plus,...

I mentioned I was in love with the "Shopaholic" series of books by Sophie Kinsella a while backnewsflash: still am! I just re-read Shopaholic Takes Manhattan, which I think is the second or third in the series It follows Becky Bloomwood and her boyfriend Luke, who has had a business opportunity arise in New York, and asks Becky to come with him The book was awesome, the highs that Becky experiences while shopping in New York, where she feels on top of the world, to the lows when her debt is exposed in a British paper and is ostracized by everyone I love the characters in the books, and how...

Another book from my favorite author, JA Konrath Tequila Abernathy was once an Olympic gymnast His small stature and significant strength made him a champion But that was a long time ago; Tequila now works for a mob boss as a collector of debts Until it appears that Tequila made off with the gambling money from the Super Bowl -- now his boss and all his other collectors want to get Tequila no matter what And to make things worse, the cops are after him too This story has never been published traditionally It's only available as a Kindle download for now I imagine that it will also...

Sci-fi novels don't get much better than Ender's Game I first read this when I was in 8th grade and I still enjoy the rest of the series This is probably the first book that got me excited to see another Sci-fi book The character development in the book is intense and there are several situations that make the book a classic in my mind Ender, a boy genius, is a person who has flaws but he is a likable character and it is easy to follow him in his journey Battle School The earth has reached the point of over population and is being attacked by a alien race On the outside it seems like a...

If you're a fan of the British sci-fi TV show 'Dr Who' this will make your eyes pop! The 'Dr Who Visual Dictionary' has loads and LOADS of photos and detailed descriptions of every single prop, hero, villain, and monster The book spans the series from the appearance of the 10th Dr played by David Tennant until the ending of the 4th series when he announced he'd be leaving the show There is little to no information on the show before he took over the role from Christopher Eccleston so if you're looking for a complete history this won't help But for me since I never really liked the...

If I had written this review right after I finished the book, I probably wouldn't have given this all five stars After having time to reflect on everything I read and really giving it some thought, I've come to realize it really was a good book Rainwater takes place in 1934 during the depression Ella runs a boardinghouse and watches over her 10 year old son Solly, who is autistic Unfortunately, in the 30's they really didn't know much about autism Then David Rainwater arrives in need of a room Ella begrudgingly rents it out to him Mr Rainwater ends up against the town bully, Conrad...

Highly recommend this book He covers a lot in this book and most importantly how the intelligence agency commonly use False Flag operations Operations committed by Mossad, but which are made to look as though they come from Palestinians or Arab militants, with the result that they and not Mossad gets the blame in the media This is used over and over in today's wars, but never gets a mention in the media, nor in the analysis of events by political commentators After reading this book, I now always ask myself the question as to who benefits, when an events happen The one who benefits the most...

A masterpiece That's what I think this book is Clearly, this is one of the best stories I've had the pleasure of reading Without even telling you the storyline, I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone Written in 1987 -- before networked computers and the impact they would have had on this story -- this is the story of three people: Travis Cornell, Nora Devon, and a golden retriever named Einstein (yes, Einstein is a person too as you'll learn when you read the book) Their stories begin completely in ignorance of one another, but as the story progresses their lives...

Alright, so I found this on my bookshelf and decided to give it a try It looked pretty good Basically, it's about Kate Lerner who's ex-husband who disappeared on her 15 years ago without child support or alimony sends her a letter saying he's dying and he has a proposition for her I expected so much more from this book It only starts getting good at page 300 and by good, I mean less like you want to throw it away All through the book it's just Kate debating what she wants to do and talking it through with several different people It's so annoying I did not enjoy this book at...

I have had this book Undead and Unwed on my bookshelf for sometime I bought it when I had to add books to my cart in order to get free shipping I read a few of the reviews and people were raving about this being a fun exciting book I did not get that I was waiting for it to get fun but all it did for me was well, nothing I was a little irritated about how things were happening and Betsy's attitude and how flippant she was Not to mention how some important things were happening and she'd just go off and zone out and her mind would start to wander to shoes instead of what was happening...

Maryn actually recommended this book to me, which I have to say was a fantastic recommendation!! Everyone's imagined the animatronics coming to life in Disneyland at one time or another, and this book did a superb job at breathing life into the dolls of Small World who attack by biting! My one gripe is that there were some big continuity problems for me Yes, I know, I have no problem with rides coming to life, but tell me the big to do is that the park characters haven't figured out how to get out of the park and cause trouble in the real world, but then the next chapter the city has...

Oh Lordy Lordy LORD! I just HAD to review this little book set considering I read through it like 20 times a day with my son! He is obsessed with the movie Cars so naturally he would be drawn to this little boxed book set Everything is perfect about this set The carrying case is perfect for carrying the books, the fact these are board books makes it very resistant to wear and tear and perfect for little hands to flip through, the pictures are vibrant and accurate, and the stories are just long enough for a young child's attention span This set is aimed toward kids ages 4-8, but I'm using...

I love BookMooch!!
