At the end of each review I will post a
rating scale of 1-5 using the cute and original (lol) Playing Cards.
Rating scale will be as follows:
5 of Hearts- You must read this book NOW!!
4 of Hearts- A great read, put it on your TBR list.
3 of Hearts- Glad I read but no big deal
2 of Hearts- Why did I finish this?
Joker Card - Don't bother (why did I?)
I keep forgetting to review this one and now it's been quite some time since I've finished it, so I hope I can do the book justice! A few people wondered if it was Twilightish and I have to say that I didn't think it was anywhere close to being similar to Twilight. In fact, I enjoyed the two main characters much more than Bella and Edward. I loved Grace and thought her connection to the wolves in the woods behind her house rang true. Sam touched my heart and I could so sympathize with his struggle between the wolf and human worlds. As I was reading this book I was leaning towards a 4/5 star rating, but the ending was fantabulous and I ended up giving this one a 5!!! Read it!
My Rating:
The Color of Water (Color Trilogy #2) and The Color of Heaven (Color Trilogy #3) -Kim Dong Hwa
After finishing all three in this graphic novel series, I have to say that I was left feeling a little let down. Color of Water was in my opinion, very boring and a rehash of book one. After reading it, I wondered if I really wanted to bother with the third, but it was just sitting there so I had to finish it. I'm glad that I did continue on with book three. It was so much better than book 2....in fact, I think the author could've just written book one and three and left it at that. Overall, it was an o.k. read and not an entire waste of a few hours.
My Rating on Book 2:
My Rating on Book 3:
Shiver was nit a book that I was expecting to enjoy, but I liked it a whole lot. They tied up the story quite well for me, so I am very curious to see where it all goes in the sequel.
ReplyDeleteShiver is one of the books I've wanted to read but haven't; glad u loved it.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm impressed with your review of Shiver! I'll have to see if I can find it!
ReplyDeleteI've steered away from Shiver because of the Twilight comparison, but you've just made me re-think that.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going to have to add Shiver to my to-read list.

I agree, I like Grace and Sam better than Bella and Edward.
ReplyDeleteI loved Shiver and hated Twilight. But that's just me. :-)
ReplyDelete*sigh* better than bella and edward????? I need to read that one now :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind reading Shiver one of these days...
ReplyDeleteToo bad the third book was a rehash of book one. That is a big disappointment.
ReplyDeleteWow! I just looked up Shiver on Amazon and read the first few pages. Awesome book - don't know how I missed looking it up before. Just added it my wish list. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteI thought Shiver would not be my thing but, if you gave it a 5, maybe I need to re-think.
ReplyDeleteI really love your Six Sentences.
I am reading Linger right now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the information about the bill! I think that something similar was attempted a year or two ago and I can see why they would try to push something through. But, had I known what you told me, I never would have said I was in favor of it. I am in support of the teachers all the way. I guess you could say that the media hasn't informed me well enough about the actual details.
ReplyDeleteI think it is just another reason why Matt and I need to simply suck it up and move like we said we were going to. :)
I love that the end of Shiver knocked its rating up. This one is on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteI really have to get Shiver for Annie...she wants that one so badly. And then mom can borrow it, which is always a nice side benefit. :) I'm glad to hear you loved it so much!
ReplyDeleteI have Shiver on my TBR shelf and I prefer wolves over bampires so it sounds like one I'll enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI had the absolute opposite reaction to this book. I did not like it at all! I actually gave up on it. Wish I liked this stuff, but oh well. Glad you do!
