So far i have read chapter one and i find it very enjoyable and it shows off the main character's personality a bit, the main problem/the main character's home life. we also get to see a friend :)

This YA novel nicely explores some aspects of developing and expressing one's sense of identity, as well as complex parent-child relationships, and weaves in the beautiful setting of Santorini in a way that lets the reader visualize it well. However, there are many moments where the writing falls into clichés, and many moments where the wording is not as neat or precise as it could have been. Overall, an imperfect but still generally enjoyable read.

I think it was only an okay book, it wasn’t my favorite out of the whole series. I feel like the plot was slow and not much really happened compared to her other books.

T.A. Barron did will with crafting a creation myth for a well known real world myth. The story takes a while to really get going. While some might think the main character, Promi’s obsession with eating is a cute quirk. I feel that it was overdone to the point of turning the story more silly than intended. T.A. Barron attempted a reluctant hero, but this theme was buried under the jokes cracked about food and having pies to steal. It is a good read, but buckle up when you start because it takes about 200 pages to get going.

Decent follow up from book 1. Likable characters. Somewhat predictable ending. Will follow up with book 3

As a scientist, how could I not want to read a book about a booth owned by a company called DNAMix that uses a cheek swab and DNA to tell you what your ideal job/potential should be? This book has become an Apple TV plus series, and it contains a series of dramatic stories in a small town in Louisiana that have been somewhat changed by the readouts from the booth. The main stories follow Doug and Cherylee Hubbard as well as Jacob and Hank Richieu. The endings were not surprising except for the booth being a scam by one of the characters. I am on the fence on whether I liked the book, but I am intrigued with the author's style of writing enough to want to read his bestseller, My Sunshine Away.

This was the best book! I wanted to keep reading it and was sad it was over. My favorite part was probably when Daisys friend wished to be a grown up, at the wishing well, and she turned into a grown up but she learned she didn’t like being a grown up and she turned small again at the end of the book. She wanted to be a kid. Matilda - age 7

This was such a cute enemies to lovers story with characters wanting to change for the better. Very entertaining!

Fences is a beautifully written yet heart wrenching story of a black man and father being so affected by the past that he can’t move forward, causing him to lose control of those he loved over time. Troy, the main character of the play, is in many ways scarred from his past. He works with his hands because his father did and he knows that a skill if the only thing the harsh world can’t take away from you. Growing up in the post-civil war time period and seeing the ways in which his father and black people struggled, he refuses to believe society will ever treat black people justly and allow them a chance to pursue what they love most. This is reflected in his refusal to sign a paper and let Cory, his son, play football and gain an opportunity for college. Troy can not fathom a world which allows black people to play mainstream sports and tries to prevent the pain before it starts by stopping Cory from playing. Resentment grows in Cory and with added issues of society’s treatment of his disabled veteran brother, Gabe, Troy begins to feel stuck and out of control with his life’s path. In doing so, he cheats on his wife, Rose, with a woman named Alberta and becomes the father to a girl who he asks Rose to take in. Miserable, and pushing away all who cared about him in his life, he becomes a stranger in his own home and begins his “fight” with death until he passes 8 years later. His impact on those around him (both good and bad) lingers on. I liked the story, even with us heartfelt sad ending. It is an overall great book!

The best book ever read ON PLANET EARTH
