Just as amazing as I remember it. You start out reading the novel, waiting for this huge plot and adventure t ounfold, and then you realize that you have been reading it since page. Mr. Alexander does not waste your time and effort with fluff.

On the second page, I was once again finding myself consumed in this novel meant for young adults. I have to say that it is still one of my favorite series, despite my age, and would recommend to any age.

Oh. My. God. I LOVED this book more than I can say. This was the first I've read in the series and I will sure as hell be going back for more!? The writing was fabulous.. unlike your typical rock story and I was hooked right from the start and did not want to put it down. I loved Z and Anna and their connection was both beautiful and heartbreaking. Passionate love scenes, loss, hope, and undying love... An absolute must-read - Highly recommended!!

I have not read a lot of comics. I did get very into Valerian and Laureline and the new Labyrinth comic, but both I got into because of already being a fan of the story from the movie versions. Getting into this media, both of my brother (avid comic book readers) each suggested some comics for me. My younger brother suggested saga. I really enjoyed reading it. I found the story, style, voice, magic, and characters to all work great. I will continue reading this series soon!

An alright movie
To be honest I am not much of a movie person. That being said comedy really isn't my think but this one wasn't too bad. The language wasn't extremely rough, there were very few inappropriate jokes from what I can remember, and it wasn't even degrading to any specific group of people. It's been awhile since I've watched this but the entire tremors series is on that I don't mind watching (much to the delight of my husband who is a movie buff).

I took me a while to get into this but with no Internet for the past three days I've had to stick to paperbacks so I knuckled down with this.

I liked it but it didn't win me over fully. Some things I'd already figured out, some things seemed to be thrown in from left field and completely threw me off.

As for the romance aspect... I kinda like the thought of Sophie with Luca now instead of Nic.

I'm not sure if I'll continue the series...

This is the final book in the trilogy and although it does wrap somethings up it kinda leaves a "that's it?" feeling. The characters do not seem to develop any more than they did in the second book except Marco whom I hated throughout the series. Usually the concluding book in a trilogy is the biggest because all the revelations that come but this was the shortest. I think this could have been done as two books instead of three and ended stronger. That said I suggest you read all three together for the best experience.
  
I love babies. I love the One-skein wonders series. So it’s natural that I would love this book.

I love knitting and crocheting but I’m not the most patient long-term project minded person. I also really like pictures. Generally I decide what to make (knit, sew, cook) based on the picture. That’s one thing I really like about this book: all the patterns have at least one picture (usually more) plus diagrams! I also really like the page-layout and the color-blocks.

This is perfect for anyone who wants a quick project for a precious little one.
