Ruffleclaw is a memorable character, which you would hope that a monster would be. He is overwhelmingly disgusting and rude, with very few redeeming qualities. Readers who like gross-out humor and fantastical characters will likely enjoy Ruffleclaw. If you are not into monsters, you might want to pass on this book.
This book is engaging and easy to read - it would be a great choice for younger readers in the 8-11 year old group.
I give this book five stars because I had the craving for mystery and puzzles and I got just that. My favorite character is Christopher Rowe. He's the fun one who likes to explore new things and find new puzzles. I recommend this book to anyone that is into solving things and finding mysteries to be revealed. It’s an adventurous, heart racing, page turning novel. If you get a chance to read it, I think you would really enjoy this novel as much as I did.
My opinion on the book is that it is very interesting and inspiring. For example, when Ronan goes head to head with the Bend Sinister, I think that he was brave and courageous. This turned out to be my favorite part in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy and a nonstop adventure. If I had to make a suggestion to the author, it would be to not put so much detail because I found it distracting.
My opinion on this novel is that it was compelling to read. I want to address that this novel is rather slow paced, but I believe that the author is a great writer! This novel made me stop and think about the choices that we make and the choices made by the others around us. A part in this narrative did make me get very emotional; suicide cases. My favorite character was Autumn; she was so kind and made great choices! I thoroughly enjoyed this novel!
Overall I think "The Tournament" was a good book. At some points I felt like I was reading the last chapter I read over again but maybe that's just me.
This book is a great choice for a variety of readers - those who love sports, adventure, futurisic reads, or action. There is a lot of political tension and action, keeping the reader turning page after page. It is for mature readers, there are some swear words, but other than that the book was a very good read.
I give this book two stars because it’s slow paced and medium romance. If you like books with lots of detail, maybe this is a book for you. My favorite character was Klaus because of his rebellious personality. My favorite part was when Klaus meets the werewolf who was with the vampire because of its tension. Overall this book was pretty good, but it dragged on too long, to capture my attention.
Sometimes The Scorpion Rules was difficult to follow, leaping from sad moments to humor before you got a chance to let either one sink in. Some actions (at least the ones I could follow) were quite cruel and depressing, but it really suited it’s main idea as a whole. I enjoyed how almost powerless Greta was, unlike other books where the main character is too brave or strong. I sometimes have issues with books concluding like how The Scorpion Rules ended, with all the death, heart break, and lack of a true “victory”, but this book executed it nicely. The book was very open-minded, containing same-sex relationships and many other ideas that made the book more relatable. It said something like, “these kids aren’t perfect, but they’re still human.” The typos were few, but when they were, they were pretty confusing. The book was totally my style and I recommend it to anyone who likes romance, violence, robots, and heartbreak.
This was a fantastic book to read. I would reccomend this book to anyone likes fantasy books.
I reccomend this book for readers in grades 5-8. The story keeps the reader's interest and has them anticipating what will happen at the turn of every page. The biggest downfall of this book is the fact it dosen't get the reader to know the characters like they should, it really leaves everything to the imagination when you wonder about the characters.
I really enjoyed City of the Yeti. It was an awesome book with a cool storyline that I haven’t encountered before. A couple of kids find their way to a group of mysterious creatures that are the basis of the Yeti legend; what’s not to love? I really enjoyed the characters’ personalities. They were relatable and easy to fall in love with. I found myself rooting for them all the way through the book.
A part in the book I really enjoyed was when Danny thought up a creative and complex way to take care of both of the Sramanas’ main problems at the same time.
I loved this book from start to finish. I would recommend this book to ages 12 and up as there are some mature themes running through the book.
