"'Catching Fire' picks up right where 'Hunger Games' left off. Unrest in the Districts is growing at an alarming pace and Katniss unwittingly finds herself the figurehead for the movement against the Capitol. The characters you loved return for the sequel and the reader must endure each indignity the Capitol inflicts upon them. It is painful, tortuous, imaginative and motivating. It is everything 'The Hunger Games' was and more." - Season Hughes, Amazon reviewer

"The original story is very nicely presented, with all original illustrations in color when possible, and in black and white elsewhere. The type is nice and clear, very easy to read. [...]
And then the annotations — useful, engaging, and very well done. You will WANT to read these." - Mark Pollock, Amazon reviewer

"This series is for your average 8th Grader. This is written in the style of the Hunger Games. I didn't like the ending, but understand why the author went that way. [...] This is not about reality, it is about fantasy and allowing a 16 year old girl to be the center of the Universe and control the destiny of the Human Race." - ktollstam, Amazon reviewer

"Based on meticulous research including considerable primary resources and oral narrative, Daniel Brown's story of the University of Washington rowing crew that won gold in the 1936 Olympics, gives an experiential look at the athletes who lacked the amenities, family devotion, and corporate sponsorships that today are pretty much viewed as essential for achieving such success.
'Shaped by the social, economic and political challenges of the Dust Bowl, Depression and the simmering hostilities in Europe, these young men developed the 'harmony, balance and rhythm' necessary not only to triumph in Berlin, but to thrive in life." - deeper waters, Amazon reviewer

"My own words escape me as I try to recount the beauty of this book in a short review. Rarely have I read a book as moving, as profound, as this one. Narrated by Death, this story is one that crawls under your skin and reverberates your soul with its images of Nazi Germany, friendship, and loss." - Tamela Mccann, Amazon reviewer

"If somebody appreciated A Time to Kill, they would very much enjoy this book. While some of the characters were in both, the storylines are independent. Loved the surprises throughout, especially the twist at the end." - D. Gregory, Amazon reviewer

"Two women, generations apart, but joined by circumstance and the discovery of their similarities, both in experience and in temperament. A worthwhile read for anyone who enjoys great writing and, ultimately, a very satisfying ending." - D. Reinstein, Amazon reviewer

"I find this book an exciting and plausible adventure with unexpected twists of plot that keep you riveted to the pages. The author has done a fabulous job in researching the science as well as the art and literature of Dante's ancient world." - kika, Amazon reviewer

"This book is not for the faint of heart as the author tackles themes of a violent and sexual nature. However, the story is so realistic and beautifully told that it doesn't come off as a ploy to shock readers. Well-crafted and meticulously researched, Outlander is historical fiction at its finest... and so much fun! The hero and heroine come alive. You'll find yourself living and breathing in their world, anxiously devouring each chapter." - An anonymous Amazon reviewer

"Divergent is one novel that had me jumping out of my seat, biting my nails to the quick as I was drawn into Beatrice's world, cheering her on one minute, and wanting to cry with her the next. [...] This is one book that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves action, bravery, a little romance, and a ton of adventure. Be forewarned that it will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and eagerly anticipating a sequel!" - Odessa, Amazon reviewer

"Reading this book, meeting the people in it, sharing their journeys, is an engrossing experience that shouldn’t be undercut by foreknowledge. All the Light We Cannot See contains a great deal of action, but that action is more than balanced by the development of characters we witness over the decade or so that this novel encompasses. This is novel of people more than it is a novel of events." - Sarah-Hope, Amazon reviewer

"The book is compelling and moving. Tartt is a master of foreshadowing, letting us know just enough of what is to come that we feel helpless to put down the book. I found myself staying up late for several nights, turning page after page to connect the dots." - Neurasthenic, Amazon reviewer

"'The Nightingale' may be Kristin Hannah's best book yet! Combining history, family relationships and dynamics, as well as focusing on individuals doing what is necessary to survive the horrors of war, this novel draws readers into the story and holds them firmly in its grip from first page to last. It is a novel of finding the courage to do what is right and then of doing what is necessary to do the right thing." - delicateflower152, Amazon reviewer

"I read this book in two days flat and I know that, had I had the time, I would have read it in one sitting. This is a book that grips you, draws you in and leaves you feeling a slightly better person for having read it." - Liat2768, Amazon reviewer

"I highly recommend this book to people who are into reading hard sci-fi of the not-too-distant future. [...] Somebody did their homework on this one — and that's what stands out above all else." - Bob, Amazon reviewer

"'The Fault in Our Stars' is a work that defies its genre in all the best ways possible. The silly boycrushes and superficial gossip that most writers think makes up 99% of high school steps aside for a beautiful, honest, heartrending story of life, death, and love." - Helen, Amazon reviewer

Average rating: 3.9/5 stars
"This is an absorbing novel from start to twisted finish. If there are two characters in recent fiction readers might love to hate more than Amy and Nick, I don’t know who they are. 'Gone Girl' is proof that readers don’t need to love the characters to love a work of fiction." - T Chris, Amazon reviewer

"The Hunger Games (Trilogy) is one of the most 'unputdownable' books to enter the teen market in a long time. The cliffhangers at the end of each volume are so intense, you can't help but continue on." - Bonnie Lynn Wagner, Amazon reviewer
Number of reviews: 66,400+
Average rating: 3.9/5 stars
"I absolutely loved this trilogy! I'm going to miss Christian and Anastasia! The characters jump off of the page and become so lifelike, that they seem to become your friends or family, not fictitious people you're reading about." - T. L. Barton, Amazon reviewer
