I liked this novella a surprising amount. It felt very Alcatraz-y, actually. I hope Lift gets more screentime in the future; I'll be very frustrated if I don't find out all of the things being hinted at.

Very fun, if rather silly. I do love Beauty and the Beast retellings. I'm glad I found this one. It is in most ways very true to the Disney movie, if that matters to you.

So very meh.<br />Also, can I just say, if you're that scared of your best friends and romantic partners, they are not your friends? Honestly, all the enforced PC-ness and diversity and yet (with the exception of Sam and Amir) every relationship in these books is horribly abusive. What a terrible example for the age bracket these books are intended for.

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34002132">Oathbringer</a> by <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/38550">Brandon Sanderson</a><br/>
My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2195683665">2 of 5 stars</a>
<br /><br />
I am so, so disappointed. I was looking forward to this book more than I've looked forward to any book since the latest Megan Whalen Turner. I reread the first two books in anticipation, talked about it to anyone who would listen, and when there was a mishap with picking up my library copy I paid a fortune to own it and be able to read it a few days earlier.<br />But it just honestly wasn't very good. The characters have become caricatures of themselves, and each seems to have been assigned to be the token gay, alcoholic, depressed, drug-addicted, etc. character. The plot was for the most part dull, and it's difficult for me to see where the rest of the series could possibly go from here. The villains were always this series' weakest point, but in this book they became almost unreadable. Shallan and Szeth in particular disappointed me of the main characters, but I can't really say that any of them made it through this book with my opinion of them intact. Even Hoid's wisdom seemed far lessened in quality. The writing in general has become... not terrible, for the most part, but it didn't feel to me that Sanderson was trying, particularly. For the most part the phrasing and word choice felt lazy. The hallmark of Sanderson books is the magic systems, which are elaborate and beautifully consistent. In this book I didn't get the same sense that I could understand the workings of the universe as I did in Sanderson's previous works. It felt more like reading Dianna Wynne Jones, and while I for the most part like her, the way her magic just sort of happens has always been very frustrating to me.<br />To be fair, it wasn't all bad. And it certainly kept me busy for a while, not to mention looked most impressive to be carrying around. Had Sanderson been a mediocre author from the beginning, I probably wouldn't be surprised or especially disappointed- but I've come to expect better than mediocre from him.<br />I find it very difficult to imagine that a recovery is possible for the series at this point (or even for there to be another book- I find it hard to come up with a potential worthwhile further plot point). To be honest, I rather hope Sanderson will do what he did with the second on a grander scale, and declare this entire book never to have happened.<br />As a side note, the endpage illustrations are honestly horrifying. The sexualized depictions of the female Heralds bear little resemblance to their descriptions in the book, and quite upset me.<br />At this point I'm not sure whether I recommend this series. The first two books were amazing, so if you don't particularly care about wrapping up every single plot point I still recommend reading those. If it's all or nothing, wait until the next book comes out and see if the series can be brought back. Use the interim time to reread Wheel of Time or something; Oathbringer is basically the same but with disappointed expectations.

I really hope this means there are more books in the series coming.<br />My only real complaint was that the big reveal was pretty obvious, but that didn't really take away from the book. It was nice to see Costis again- I didn't love him in The King of Attolia, but I did in this book, which was a nice surprise. I did miss the usual cast of characters, but not as much as I expected to.

It's okay. 'Salem's Lot is still my favorite so far. Out of the three Stephen King novels I've read (or tried to read), this one comes second.<br />I was not as impressed with the locker room scene as everyone else seems to be. It was a weird and creepy fantasy even without knowing a man was writing it.

<br /><br />
I found perhaps half of Riordan's attempts at jokes to be funny; I imagine that if I were in the intended age range that number would be much higher. I'm not nearly as impressed with the mythology as I was in the Percy Jackson books- in this one I honestly found myself skeptical that Riordan pulled any of it from real sources (I haven't had a chance to research it yet)- but the change has been away from ancient mythology and toward learning tolerance for other human beings, which I can't really complain about. While these (and the other new series) might not be as good books as his earlier ones, the addition of morals makes up for it, at least for me.

Other reviewers have about summed up what needs to be said, so I'll just ask one question: Why did they decide to kill people instead of restricting the birth rate? They're not banning population growth, just moderating it. It's not like they're short on time to wait for their turn to have a child.

Read most of it over the course of two semesters of college for two different classes. A good selection and many of the stories are enjoyable.

It was fun, I'll give it that, but it lacked the necessary intrigue to be a good mystery novel. I was very unsatisfied with the ending. Overall pretty meh.

Some were funny, but a lot were offensive or the humor seemed juvenile.

It's definitely a work of genius, but I'm not entirely certain I like it. It definitely grew on me over the course of the book, though. I'm happy to have read it.<br />My main complaint would be how difficult it was to understand Joseph's speech.

Meh. There were bits I enjoyed, but the romance was silly and the ending was rushed. The book also just felt too long.
