The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson

5.0

Whhoaaa, what a series of events. It's worth it to read the first 200 pages. Then it will be a lot harder to close the book until you're done.
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson

5.0

The first book was mostly about Blomkvist, the second about Salander. This 3rd book is the real thing that involves both of them and the "justice league" against professional and intellectual persons within the police force. It felt like a cat and a mouse chase. The mouse would obviously win over the cat. But how? Read this millennium series to know.
Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon

3.0

Yoon introduces classic after classic and explains bits of them using Madeline's unfolding story as one reads through it.

She aims her gun fully-loaded with life-lesson-bullets and shoots the reader paragraph after paragraph. Past readers would not recommend dodging her bullets, so do I.

Funny. Inspirational. Worth the read.
Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

3.0

From a single event, Jodi Picoult explains fictionally that the past, present and future are all connected more like a web than a straight line.

She uses similes to further explain an idea, a description, an event; she does this brilliantly.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

5.0

This book tells us that the news people may think they are broadcasting facts but they're not. Not even close. In most times, only two persons know the truth: the suspect and the victim.

Gillian Flynn. Truly /Amazing/ *wink*

The interesting part comes at the last 60 pages, It was okay for her first thriller. This book has negative views on men ...
Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

3.0

When you know how to make a good story and have lots of stored quotations and ideas somewhere, you should create a storyline, insert some quotes or ideas here and there and name your story Turtles All The Way Down and share it to the world.
The Inferno by Dante Alighieri

4.0

Fresh readers will consciously be thinking of their own sins as they read through Dante's Inferno. ~What is really man's purpose here on earth, is it to do as they wish (but suffer later in this Inferno, Dante tells) or take care of God's creations: the earth, moon and the above stars?
