That is until after the pestering of his mother finally wears through and he agrees to go visit an old friend who has been recently diagnosed with Leukemia. Slowly but surely Rachel shows Earl and Greg how to discover who they are. The bittersweet and profound truthfulness is woven with blatantly true comedy and crude humor, occasionally you will cry, occasionally will howl in laughter, but in the end the bittersweet glow of and amazingly well done ending makes the book worth reading on its own " See Review |

C
added it
A flaw which takes the form of the most beautiful, wonderful, interesting, person A has ever met, and A knows that they need to have more than one day. This novel depicts the story of a loner discovering their need to have another person with them on their wild ride. Particularly well done is the way in which Leviathan depicts so many vastly different lifestyles. " See Review |

Eleanor & Park
by
"Although I was a little skeptical at the begging I ended up loving this book and went on to not only re-read it but recommended it to a number of my friends. I definitely wish that their was a sequel in a more Park based narrative starting were the first book left off. Heads up: the ending is a total cliff hanger. Their may be moments where you as a reader are annoyed with the main characters, but that's a sign of a good author isn't it? The ability to show a character, or even create one, which is imperfect and makes human mistakes or makes decisions that from the outside we don't necessarily understand. I believe it's all about the author's ability to show why that character made that specific choice, something Rowel does well."

The Infinite Moment of Us
by
"This book is a total holiday book. Fun, but still definitely not the most eloquent wording, strong plot or character development. However being a person who is constantly over-annoyed by authors like Sarah Dessen who miss uses punctuation, grammar, and spelling. I can definitely appreciate that Myracle is a good author and capable of constructing a sentence. If your looking for a complicated plot where you can't predict the outcome this might not be your read, however if you pick this up on a easy weekend morning with a cup of tea and your pajamas on, then this book is fun and sweet which doesn't follow the same algorithmic plot patterns as some other novels of it's category."
