I know this is a beginning reader, but it felt way too simplified—to the point of choppy silliness. I was reading the Czech-English bilingual version, in Czech, and the reading level was good for me, but I still feel it could been more coherent even a ...more |

I don’t think this was as good as the hype, but I did enjoy the tension, the twists. The writing was engaging enough. I do enjoy books with some admirable characters, so that aspect was disappointing…but also kind of interesting in its way. I also fin ...more |

| This had an interesting (though somewhat holey) premise. The various stories of how this premise could affect different people were interesting. The writing style was easy and fast, but sometimes felt a little told, especially in the romance parts. T ...more | |

A fast, exciting, enjoyable read with admirable but flawed characters, good plotting, good characterization. A librarian friend of mine once recommended April Henry for reluctant readers, and I have to agree. |

| This felt a little slow, plodding, far longer than it needed to be, and repetitive, just like this sentence. And I didn’t quite care enough about the characters to make me want to try to read it faster, though there was some intrigue and interesting ...more | |
