Despite my quibbles with how the series ended, I definitely have a soft spot for the Ryves brothers. :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680066584646789184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829473038212118995.post-55369128237402604052011-10-10T01:31:03.118-05:002011-10-10T01:31:03.118-05:00hi, i just wanted to say i read your review of &qu...hi, i just wanted to say i read your review of "The Demon's Surrender" over at betterworldbooks and i really appreciated it and thought it was a great review. <br /><br />i completely agree with all of it. sara rees brennan is a really entertaining writer with original ideas, but it was just disappointing that after building up such a fantastic brothers/siblings plot, it was just kind of abandoned or left unresolved. <br /><br />Nick learning to be human and finally being able to express his love for Alan would have been a satisfying enough read for many fans. instead, we got changes in POV that left gaping holes in the story. disappointing. <br /><br />also, i liked your comment about ideological angling. i totally agree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829473038212118995.post-18379691756036239982011-07-22T14:11:56.395-05:002011-07-22T14:11:56.395-05:00Miss Cole: I haven't read that trilogy yet, bu...Miss Cole: I haven't read that trilogy yet, but have heard excellent things!

If you're looking for something that's funny and thought-provoking, check out Yann Martel's LIFE OF PI. If you're looking for something more serious and a slower read, check out Margaret Atwood's THE BLIND ASSASSIN (which is really historical fiction and sci-fi all jam-packed into one) and Michael Ondaatje's THE ENGLISH PATIENT (this one is definitely not a light read - read it bits at a time).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829473038212118995.post-29647541327377108082011-07-22T08:24:25.091-05:002011-07-22T08:24:25.091-05:00More books added to my TBR pile... thanks for the ...More books added to my TBR pile... thanks for the list!<br /><br />"So, on the off chance that you’re wandering around muttering, “What to read?..."<br /><br />Always. :)Hektor Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908146663251226473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829473038212118995.post-65712691092440057062011-07-22T08:07:46.477-05:002011-07-22T08:07:46.477-05:00I <3 Garth Nix.
