It's certainly not the worst book I've ever read, but I don't know why everyone praises McCaffrey so much if this is her normal writing.

I simply cannnot explain how good this book is!! The way that Susanne Collin’s ties in parts from the other 4 books is amazing!!! It kind of made me want to cry. Is that bad? The way that president snow killed Lenore dove is horrible in a twisted intelligent way. Again is it bad that I understand that? The rest of the book I fell immune to but what really got me was the epilogue. The way that he saw Kathi’s grow up and how she was really the one that stopped the sunrise on the reaping. But what really got me was the last line was when he remembered his now dead brother saying happy birthday on the reaping day. I can not even explain how this made me feel.

I love Rio and loved hearing his own love story! It was definitely a slow first half a the book but I enjoyed it once it picked up!

I loved this book.

This book is kind of ridiculous and dumb, but that’s exactly why I like it. It was a little simple, but nice.

Great story . Love how the author goes between timelines. The story is centered around haven and her quest to continue the searcher dad started. The story brings us between the 1800’s with Mari and Holmes story as well as Haven and Enzo. Really enjoyed .

Good

I don't know what this book wanted to be: spy thriller or anthropology fiction? Either way, it was trying to be too many things at once.

This is the first in the series that I read. Usually, I like to read from the beginning, but I was able to enjoy this immensely. I love period books with characters who are feminist and this author described these two sisters well - strong, supporting each other, and not married! Wow! They go around helping others. We need more books like this.

In Drive, Daniel H. Pink explores what truly motivates people, not just in the workplace, but in life. He argues that the traditional system of rewards and punishments—what he calls “carrots and sticks”—is outdated and often ineffective, especially for modern, creative, or cognitive tasks. Instead, Pink reveals that human motivation is driven by three key elements: 1. Autonomy – the desire to direct our own lives, 2. Mastery – the urge to get better at something that matters, 3. Purpose – the yearning to do work that has meaning and contributes to something larger than ourselves. He draws on decades of research in psychology and behavioral science to show that while external rewards can work for simple, mechanical tasks, they can actually reduce motivation and creativity when it comes to deeper, more thoughtful work. He calls for a shift in how we think about work, education, and management—moving away from control and toward trust, engagement, and internal drive. When people are given space to grow and a reason to care, they don’t need to be pushed—they’re already motivated to move forward.
