This edition has been professionally formatted and contains several tables of contents. The first...
The kick off to a young adult line of mystery novels featuring the Brig's granddaughter Lucy Wilson, this has the set-up feel of the Sarah Jane Adventures, with a slightly more adult tone. Not much more, as these are designed to be aimed at the younger set, but feel more Doctor Who in the peril thrown at our heroine. An enjoyable read that also manages to expand the Brig-verse. Highly recommended! For more, visit www.travelingthevortex.com

for those who enjoy YA novels, this is a solid read
i read this book to try to gauge my personal opinion of John Green's writing and how much his ideas vary from book to book: reading this after The Fault in Our Stars made me give up his work. i really did try to get into his writing as such hype has surrounded it but i just think it wasn't for me

Where to start.
This book grabbed me from the first chapter. every chapter left you hanging (sign of a good author!) and brought a new question or a new mystery. although not all of the questions were answered in the first book of this exciting new trilogy, most of them were--but they were all answered in amazing, unforgettable, unexpected ways. drop your classic ideas about "demonic" novels--this book belongs on any fiction-loving adventurous reader's bookshelf!

Monk and Natalie are off to Summit, New Jersey, to help new police chief Randy Disher gain a handle on the string of burglaries plaguing the normally quiet town. This book is an absolute treat for fans of the TV show and Lee's novels based on them because of what he does with the characters.

Seemed like a good premise
I really wanted to like this book. It sounded like it would be good, the story sounds very interesting. However, I just couldn't look past how annoyingly it was written. I read a lot of YA novels because I am a middle school teacher, but this was definitely one of the worst. I couldn't get more than halfway through.
Amazing characterization, a complete fictional world, psychologically satisfying, philosophically intriguing. Moore manages to treat both global and individual conflict quite well. Slightly uneven near the end, where it becomes less deep and more science-fiction-y. Otherwise, it would be a five star series. It deals with its complex subject matter quite competently. I have rated other graphic novels as five star that were not nearly as deeply satisfying, however they handled their admittedly much smaller task slightly better.

Book Review | Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
I felt this book was different to what i read i am use to reading romance novels but i love to see what is out there. So this was popular so i jumped on the bandwagon and i felt this book was gripping and had twist and turns. I feel this book was better then the film by far and will love to read more of the author's books.
