Things Fall Apart--Chinua Achebe
5/10
Really not a fan of this book. Nothing wrong with it per se, but I didn't like it.

Leven Thumps and the Eyes of the Want

9/10

During the last section I got extremely confused. Minor deduct in points for that. But! As usual it all came together at the end of the book, still though, there was that confused portion. Amazing books! Absolutely amazing. The universe Obert created is so realistic it's like he was really there. I'd recommend this (What I think will be 4-5 books) to anyone. Very Happy

Digital Fortress
9/10

Actually read this a while ago, but it's still a really good book. Dan Brown is probably the best storyteller...ever. I mean; it's not just the stories he writes, it's the way he writes them, that you believe every word of it. Especially The Da Vinci Code; I mean, everyone's trying to find these secret places and such that he only made up...and even when they can't find them, they're sure they just interpreted it wrong. And Digital Fortress was uber suspensful and all that nice stuff. I liked it better than The Da Vinci Code; anyway.

Have you read Angels and Demons?

Because you're supposed to read that before you read The Da Vinci Code. Or, at least, it would make more sense to.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

10/10

I don't think any of these books could get /less/ than ten. And, of course, I still cried.

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

9/10

I didn't actually like the ending (well I liked the epilogue), but the rest of the book was intense and rather brilliant.

The Host by Stephenie Meyer
10/10

At first I thought I'd hate it, because it reminds me of Scott Westerfield's Uglies, Pretties, and Specials. But it turned out to be amazing and beautiful. The end made me love Wanderer a lot and be really upset, but then the epilogue just made everything really good. Smile

@DarkWaltz: Good Dog!

The Far Pavilions by M.M. Kaye
10/10 for sheer freaking epicness and incredible historical detail, for making me laugh and cry and scream and squee, for sucking me so thoroughly into a world and only letting me go 1100-odd pages later, for the best written battle scenes I've ever read in my entire life, for Wally, for Ash, for Juli, for sweeping mountain passes and the Dur Khaima, for palaces and army camps, for the Guides, for Sita, for Wigram Battye, for Cavangnari even though I didn't like him, for so many things that I could keep going forever...
