The history of the Psi Corp from finding the first telepath to the birth of Bester. And it reads just like a history book, too. Way too dry to be a novel.

Addicting, beautiful, real YA novel!
I devoured this one summer and fell in love with Lauren Oliver's prose. She tapped into the teenage experience in a way that spoke to me as a teen. I loved the concept, the characters, and knew that I would be a Lauren Oliver fan for life.

Ambivalence: A Novel
Contains spoilers, click to show
Minor spoilers....kinda
I was as ambivalent about the book as Ove was about his failures in taking his own life. At least for about 3/4 of the book....at some point I was instead reading with tears streaming down my face.

Another history book that reads like a novel, Hasting's is such a good writer. It's really interesting to see another side of WW2, and it demonstrates how much was done in secret. The book covers Bletchley Park, the Cambridge Spy Ring, and other behind the scenes operations, both for and against the allies.
Slow to start and begins looking like a generic teen novel but it got interesting with some darker tones and story. Would like to have seen more character development but there is more to the series so I'd hope it happens at some point, otherwise the characters didn't really change or grow much.

I've read the Tamakis' work before. They really know how to create real characters in real settings. Just because it's a graphic novel doesn't mean that it's only meant for kids. Oh, this is so not. I only recommend starting in the upper teens (Like 15, 16 years old) to read this book.

Dark avengers
My kinda graphic novel what if the avengers were team of bad guys mostly former members of the thunderbolts team and led by Norman Osborne himself when he's not the green goblin. It works as a comic and to see Osborne leading his own team is interesting concept

Truth be told: I wasn't really all that impressed by this novel. I found the plot to be pretty obvious from the get-go, none of the central characters to be all that interesting, and the phonetic spelling of pronunciation to be rather off-putting.
Perhaps I'm just not the target audience?

This fantasy/steampunk novel was a glue read, one you can't put down and sticks with you. The development of the characters relationship was almost a character itself and a strong driving force in the story. The conflict and draw of the three main characters will keep you reading that "one more page".
