		<description><![CDATA[The first half of this book is slow-paced and unlike the first book.  The second half involves the Games and is fast-paced and much like the first book.  Both of these are good things.

Having come right off reading the first book, I didn&#8217;t mind that there was a bit of a slow build.  I was [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Mansfield Park.  What can I say?  I liked it far better than I thought I would.  But it made me think about a lot of things, not least of which about Jane Austen herself.

This review will contain spoilers.  Mainly because of the love triangle, and just what I think about that.
Even though I knew the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!  I am amazed not just by this book, but the fact that finally&#8211;finally!&#8211;a book&#8211;a YA book&#8211;has lived up to its hype.

Since most everyone has read this book by now, I will first do just a short summary for the few who haven&#8217;t.
Set at least 74 years in the future (because it&#8217;s the 74th Hunger [...]

		<description><![CDATA[It is systematically impossible to review this book without comparing Shandi Mitchell to Willa Cather.  Similarities include, but are not limited to: Eastern European immigrants to the harsh prairies of North America; suicide; vast landscapes; early 20th century; complex characters (particularly strong women).  

It is also impossible to review this book and include all of [...]

What ensues is a psychological twister, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The Bean Trees was Barbara Kingsolver&#8217;s debut novel, back in the &#8217;80&#8217;s.  One chapter in, and you can already see the foreshadows of the voices she would create over the next few decades.

She has done almost the impossible right off the bat: created characters that are at once endearing and real, flawed but genuinely good. [...]

		<description><![CDATA[If I have anything to complain about this book, it&#8217;s that it&#8217;s too short.  We&#8217;re transported into the world of  Marjane Satrapi&#8217;s family for an afternoon, but left wanting more.

Short though it is, it does manage to pack several stories in, from disparate female voices in Satrapi&#8217;s family.  Each woman takes a turn, usually telling [...]

Perkins-Valdez researched the real retreat where it was common for Southern gentlemen to bring their slave-mistresses.  Of course, being in a free state has a certain [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I really wanted to love this book, but it&#8217;s over-narration killed it for me.  Never in recent memory has it taken me so long to get through a book so short (just over 200 pages).

The writing, at times, can be really beautiful, too.  And there&#8217;s some spots, where Ana Menéndez really nails it, such as [...]
