All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris
5.0
Another great Sookie Stackhouse novel. I loved every page and managed to gobble it up in 2 days. These books may not be the greatest works of literary art, but when you read a vampire book, it's not what you are looking for. It's exciting, interesting, has a mystery in it, sex, passion, love. The characters are ever changing, evolving. It's not drawn out. It's fast paced and exiting, you can hardly put it down. And I was reading while walking on the street.
The Chosen One by Sam Bourne
4.0
I finished this book in a week. It was rather engaging and interesting. Mind you, not the best book I've ever read, but it was entertaining. The character had some development and it was fast-paced. I also liked the ending. So if you are looking for an interesting story and are not terribly squeamish, this is a good book. Even if it wasn't that special for me.
Flashforward by Robert J. Sawyer
3.0
This book is very unlike the series. I enjoyed the series and I did like the book. But other than the initial idea, they have nothing in common. Oh, and some names are the same, but the people behind them are totally different. So I don't want to write spoilers, it should be enough that the book explores the idea of a Flash Forward without the over-dramatization of the series. It's rather clean and simple. There is a lot of science in it and that can get frustrating. I skipped most of it as I was trying really hard not to fail Physics in high school. So basically I have no clue about partical physics. Once you put it down, it does give you a sense of satisfaction, unlike the last episode of the series, which was just frustrating.
Thank You, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

This story was hilarious! What can I say, brilliant as always.
Carry On, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse
5.0
I read this one in a couple of days. It's a collection of 10 stories. The first one has how Jeeves joined Wooster's service, which is very interesting. Most of the other stories take place in New York. The last one is really interesting. It takes place in England, and is narrated by Jeeves. I'm not sure if there are more stories from his point of view, but it was really fun seeing what he actually thinks and how he manipulates events.

I love vampires. I watch everything that has vampires in it and read a lot of vampire fiction. But this is about vampires? Really? It has nothing of what makes vampires interesting. In fact, it has nothing interesting at all. I read the first book and it was okay. Then I get to this one and have to read through pages and pages of whining, teenage angst over a guy she barely knows. I wanted to strangle the little b... Thank the gods I was never a teenager, because if that's what it's like, then I didn't miss a thing. Then she takes forever to realise that Jacob is a werewolf. Who didn't know by the end of the book? The saddest thing is that this horrible little girl has the same name as I do. I didn't read the whole thing, I gave up after page 200. I'm selling the book, because I never ever want to pick it up again. Just seeing it in the shops makes me cringe.
Seriously, how can people be so in love with this series? Don't they have taste? I've read fanfiction that was more interesting, exciting and better written than this book.
