Ahsoka quickly became a favorite of mine through watching The Clone Wars and I wanted to love her story as well. And parts of it I did. Her story was interesting and it was nice seeing the start of the Empire and the start of the Rebellion. Parts of the book really sped up and parts were super slow (the middle). Overall, I can't critique the book that much because it was way better than Heir to the Jedi but I just finished Dark Disciple (my favorite) so it's hard to accurately judge Ahsoka. Overall, it's a good read for fans of TCW and people who need to see more world building during the Rise of the Empire. I'm ready for Rebels and just have A New Dawn until I can start watching!

This book was rather subpar and was not that grasping. I read, and finished, only to finish reading it. It wasn't all that shocking and, to be honest, it just seemed sad. I feel sorry that people like this exist out there because it is rather sad, but the writing didn't make me feel for Augusten because some of it was brought on himself by himself. Stay in school kids.

I wanted to love this book. But I couldn't.

This book was not good. It was dull. For one, there is no story at all. For Murakami, the entire booked seemed like a subplot to any other character in any other novel he's written.

Plus, we don't even get an ending. We don't find out about two major, major characters (S and H) at all before the book ends.

There were guns involved in the story and yet neither were fired.

This leaves much to be desired and I, for one, am saddened.

I said I would 2 star this book, go higher if something in the last 50 pages happened. Instead, it was a recap of the whole book while he sat in a train station.

1 star it is. I'm sorry. But it just wasn't good.

The Book Thief was a good book. It was not great. The entire book is hurt tremendously by the narrator. He completely, and utterly, ruins the read for me. If you want to avoid spoilers, avoid reading the chapters written solely from the narrator's point of view. The ending would be so so so powerful if it wasn't for the narrator.

Sorry for dragging this out but, seriously, a 5 star book was ruined by this. I only gave it 2 stars because the story itself was amazing.

This was my first time, willingly, reading a classic. It was recommended to me by Chelsea. I must say, it was fantastic. It was so interesting and so much reminded me of our modern world we live in. I enjoyed it so much. I feel like, if I read it again in the future, I'll get even more out of it. But wow.

Oh. My. Lord.

This book.

Less than 72 hours and I was done. Besides working, I just read this book. I couldn't put it down.

Just... wow. If you are looking for a super fast read, something you can not ever put down, read this book.

While some may say it glorifies suicide, I think it gives an insight that a lot of people would avoid. If you're in high school, READ THIS BOOK.

It should be required reading.

And anyone who goes through depression, it gets better. It isn't over.
