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’m curious as to how much the co-authors add to each Patterson novel.

Not the typical Baldacci novel. But I enjoyed this book very much

Captivating story; all the pieces fit together to make an entertaining read.

This book takes place in the near future where Muslim Americans are being forced into internment camps by order of the president. Layla, a 17 year old Muslim American is forced from her home into an internment camp. But Layla won’t stay quiet. She organizes protests with help from her friends, and with help from her boyfriend David, shows the world outside the camp what it’s like being forced to live in the internment camp.

This book was alright. It was kind of like a “what happens after the Aristocats movie.” It was sweet and funny, but it didn’t appeal to me like a 5 star book would.

This is an amazing sequel to Growing Pangs which follows Katie through the tough path of growing up. Katie has started learning to manage her OCD and is going to try out for the musical Annie. Then, she realizes she has a crush on a girl. But her church is filled with people who say that being gay or bisexual is bad and a sin. They also say that girls are meant to simply help the men. Katie has to push through and learn that they can’t tell her who she can’t be and that she has to shine as her own person. This is an amazing book and I would recommend it to anyone.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I have very recently read books one and three in Ms. Cambridge's An American in Paris mystery series and loved both. I especially love how the history and culture of Paris is so detailed in her books. Tabitha and Julia are the best pair of friends. Julia is teaching Tabitha how to cook and Tabitha helps Julia with her French. The two of them made me laugh thoroughout this book as well as the other two books. Tabitha has again decided to help with local murders when she witnesses them. I don't want to give anything away so won't list who is murdered. I especially enjoy how much she annoys the Inspector with her helpfulness in solving crimes, bringing clues to him, etc. An American in Paris Mystery series was fun to read as someone who loves mysteries and cozies. I also very much enjoyed learning more about the Paris catacombs, about how important wine was during the war and in Paris culture, all of the numerous cats that are in Paris and the Coke concern. (from my Goodreads review)

Mehh. Story was weird. 2.5 stars

A fun, sweet read.
