Wow. I am blown away by this book and I think that it is a really amazing and important thing to be written. I applaud David for his courage in writing this, in sharing his story. It is a difficult read, but it is one I don't regret undertaking. Definitely plan to read the next ones in the series later.

Book two of this series does not disappoint!! All the characters are back and this story line has even more secrets than the first one. You can't help but to fall in love with this author's writing as she quickly pulls you into the story and keeps you enthralled until the bitter end. I can't wait to read the next one!!

This was such a wonderful book! So many great lessons running through through the whole thing about friendship, family, & the impact the choices you make have. Yet it had blood & suspense but humor too. I can't wait to see how this series continues, if it does. Mr. Beatty you have some big shoes to fill to live up to this first installment!

Not as enjoyable as the first book in the series. The PoV is now with Shaun, a much more irritating, geeky protagonist than his sister. There is a conspiracy running through the plot, which is exposed very slowly over far too many pages. Again, the action scenes are quite exciting but they fit into an overall piece which is somewhat disappointing.

A laugh out loud science fiction adventure
I can't say enough about the first book in the Space Team series. It's a hoot. I really enjoyed the main character and the unexpected adventure he was sucked in to. Space Team is a really fun read if you're looking to unwind with some light-hearted laughter.

Highly recommended
  
Wow, this was even better then the first. Got new characters, new plots and new interesting twists and turns. I loved so much about this story and this series. Got introduced to a yummy new character... yum ;) and I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation through most of this book. I cannot wait to read the next one.

A desperate Stephanie Plum takes a job as a bounty hunter for her cousin. And her first job? Tracking down her former high school boyfriend turned cop. A bit raunchy at times, but a fast paced and humorous series opener.

Bert is working for a nasty divorce lawyer, but when her boss is shot, she and her twin Nan team up to find the killer. A bit slower than the rest of the series, but these twins are always fun.

Meg and Michael are hosting an extreme coquette tournament on their property when Meg stumbles across a body half hidden under a bush. Not quite as funny as previous entries in the series, but the mystery is strong.

Darkwing Duck, Vol. 3: F.O.W.L Disposition

Darkwing teams up with his old nemesis Steelbeak to take down F.O.W.L. Or is it a trap? I found one part of the climax very out of place, even for Darkwing, but overall I enjoyed the next chapter in the comic series.
