The Viper's Nest (2010)
I was afraid this same author might make Amy Cahill a silly love-struck girl again. He did it to her in "The Sword Thief" but this time, even though he introduced a love interest for her, he didn't make her behave too bad. But my grouse would be: why is it necessary to give her a love interest? T...
Son (2012)
An interesting wrap-up to The Giver series. Several unanswered questions from the previous three books are answered in this book, but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed in the ending (what else is new). The ending, for me, seemed rushed, thrown together, lets just quick knot up a few of th...
The Warlock (2011)
Double cliff hanger!! Its all lead up to this point and the middle of the book wasn't all that great. This book is what I would call "A Transition Book". A transition book is a book that an author writes to get the readers up to spead when he could have just added a couple more books to the e...
The Black Circle (2009)

Consider Phlebas (1987)
Ehhhhhh.I really expected to like this more than I did, and at times I did find myself enjoying it. I liked several of the characters quite a bit, but others never felt fully formed or even interesting. I think I mainly just found it...tedious, a lot of the time. Too much filler. And this is mayb...
Redshirts (2012)
There's two angles from which I come at this book.One angle is of great pleasure in the ideas of this book. It's a very clever concept, with a fun blend of meta ideas and an intriguing storyline. There's nothing not to like about a fun story, right?The other angle is focused more on the latter ...
Swamplandia! (2011)
I know this book got good reviews, probably by reviewers that know little about Florida. As a native Floridian, I just couldn't get past certain details to get into the book. The family named their daughter Oceola, the name of the greatest war chief of the Seminoles. That these characters had a g...

Eon: Dragoneye Reborn (2008)
3.5 stars, rounded up because it does deserve better than 3. I did enjoy reading Eon. The world lore drew me in more than I thought it would. The dragons and their pearls were just plain awesome.My biggest complaint with this book is that it was just so friggin long. The story was dragged on by v...
The Two Pearls Of Wisdom (2009)
*Some minor spoilers ahead mixed in with a lot of ranting* I did not hate this book (edit: after writing this review I'm thinking maybe i actually did hate this book...), but I have a lot of problems with it. Mostly how effed up the character relationships are and how the author doesn't portray t...

Anathem is a philosophical science fiction novel. It tells the story of the planet Arbre through the eyes of Erasmus as he and his planet face a time of uncertainty and decisions.The community Erasmus belongs to values ideas - especially philosophical and metaphysical ideas. Part of the fun I h...
The Windup Girl (2009)
Imagine our world in the 23rd century. What will it be like? Will something like Gene Roddenberry’s vision of the 23rd century, as seen in Star Trek, be the reality? Will mankind learn to embrace diversity and no longer judge others based on appearance? Will we create/discover solutions to our en...
The Blood of Olympus (2014)
El libro estaba bastante bien, pero creo que se esperaba un poco más para el final de estos maravillosos libros. El final fue muy cortante, inmediatamente después de terminarlo me quede en shock porque necesitaba saber que pasaba después, ¡Pensé que a mi libro le faltaba el último capítulo!Lo úni...

Into the Gauntlet - Library Edition (2010)
The final book in the series is here! The most interesting one in the series, and also when all the Cahill's unite against a crazy Cahill named Isabel. The genre is fiction, mystery and realistic fiction. I thought this book was very detailed and showed us the rest of the secrets of the 39 clues ...
