Ask Me by Kimberly Pauley
3.0
I've been sick and needed something easy to read that didn't require too much thinking. This did the trick but left me with so many questions. This story was a little light on logic. I could see where having this kind of "gift" would be more of a curse when you had to go to high school surrounded by kids asking questions. Still, I think this book needed more details filled in. Also, this girl, Aria, goes from being no one's friend to suddenly having the attention of both of the most popular guys in school and why? I have no idea. Also, a girl from school that was missing was found murdered and a bunch of the students blamed one of the boys she'd been dating. The girl had been with two boys separately during the past few days so why did no one suspect the other guy? Why was Aria so willing to believe one of them and not the other? Then there is the ending which was way too abrupt. This book could have been good if the author had taken a bit more time to round it out.

This story had potential but it was wasted. I was enthralled in the story right from the beginning but then it just got too weird. It just wasn't very believable. I also don't like wishy-washy endings.

This story was interesting but there were a few details that didn't make sense. I decided to ignore those and just enjoy the story.
The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
4.0
This book has so much detail that my brain feels like it could explode. It was hard to follow at times and I had to stop and take a break. I wanted a map where I could follow their progress but one more detailed than was provided. I need to take a break for now but I'll read the next part soon.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
5.0
I'm so glad I finally read this book. I knew it was a great story and have seen the animated movie and the other movies but I really enjoyed reading the book and all it's wonderful details. I loved the poems and songs throughout the book. I didn't realize there were some parts that didn't make it into the movies. I never knew what I was missing but I should have know better. Books are always better than movies. I loved the imagery and amazing detail so much that I think I'll look for a nice copy of this book to keep in my own library. I'm sure I will read this one again.
