J.C. Cole and 3 other people liked Sabrina's review of Leaving Seattle: "Leaving Seattle" is a great nostalgic read. It shows Seattle through the eyes of a guy and a girl, each living their own lives but in the same city. Their different experiences make the story really interesting.

J.C. Cole and 2 other people liked Jeanette's review of Ordell's Constellation: A Science Fiction Fantasy: "This is for me more YA than I prefer. At points I think it was cartoonish.
