So much going on! It seems pretty hopeless in Connor and Risa's plight to end unwinding, but we'll have to wait and see in book 4! I still really love this series, even if I think it could have been a stand alone with just book 1. Oh well, lots of suspense!

*Sighs in contentment* I seriously loved this series. I don't know how much more I can brag about it! I recommend it for anyone ages 10+, I find a way to work it into many of my displays at work, I have bought copies of my own to lend to friends. I just seriously am in love with everything about the WondLa series. Most of all I love the message it gives. About love, family, acceptance of yourself and others, respecting the environment, and the big topics of life and death. No matter if you're hu-man or alien, or what planet you are from, the themes of this series is universal!

Oh good, another book to reassure me that my strangeness is shared with others! I may not go as far as Briony, but fandom is definitely in my blood. Is it normal to totally obsess and fantasize about magic and favorite, not-real characters? I don't know about normal, but it happens! Briony LOVES a character in her favorite book series. Her life revolves around it. So when the final book in the series comes out, and she finishes reading it, then what? Everyone tells her to get her head out of the clouds, magic isn't real, and to focus on real life, but Briony just won't accept it. She has to find out of magic and spirits are real, or else the real world is going to be super boring.

Man, I will forever love this book. It's a perfect teen book. Rob Thomas understands teens, understands how they think and talk, he knows the struggle, and he is able to write like none other. I believe him to have reached the state of teen author nirvana, a state in which John Green is close to obtaining, but isn't quite there yet.

I am sorry to say that this book doesn't come close to the awesomeness that was The Maze Runner. The writing felt stunted and many parts were rushed. When it comes to the new popular theme of futuristic gaming and people getting stuck inside their mmorpg , this is not the best of the genre. It tried to be a simpler Ready Player One but for teens, but ended up falling flat. Just read Ready Player One, it's an amazing book.

Okay, so I'm still miffed that they pulled the "saga" card and turned this into a series when the first book would have been delightfully great as a stand alone. But still, it is a fun series, but I felt the photos were a little more forced into the story than in the first book. It was still a gripping sequel, not a boring setup book, with action and a nice little twist at the end, and of course, a cliff-hanger. Anyway, I'll definitely read the third book, but I really hope they don't draw this series out. Making it lengthy rather than quality will doom this series.

A very sweet manga with some delicious-sounding recipes!

"It was not a happy ending, but a happy middle..." Yup, that pretty much sums up this book, which, thank GOD was so much better than book 2! As I had mentioned, book 2 was all setup, so this book was all action, answers, and the setup for possibly a whole other series (*sigh*). It really is a great trilogy and I thoroughly enjoyed how she ended it! *applause*
