book was ok. i enjoyed the idea of the story, and the main character was really strong and i agreed with the ending. However, I felt the author was trying too hard to be hip in her writing style with all the slang and abbreviated words she was using. Will give her another try when I get my hands on SUMMER INTERN, but wasn't the best young adult book i've read recently.

didn't realize this was actually the 2nd book in the series. DUH! read it in one night. Interesting concept, and rather likeable. Camille was a strong willed girl in the wrong place at the wrong time, but she gets the guy in the end. Now to read Red Handed... I'm so clueless sometimes!!

was one of those books i kept waiting for something to happen. the characters were a bit whiney and I couldn't relate. the ending was the only really surprising part of the book.

A wonderful conclusion to Annie's People trilogy. If you like Beverly, you'll love this one too. Didn't see the twist coming, which always is a good thing, but I'm a sucker for happy endings! :)

Got this one from the library. Guess it was the writing style I didn't really care for. I enjoyed the interaction between Chloe and Dr. Dearborn. But the author would use quotation marks here and there, but not consistently so it made it hard to really follow who was doing what. Chloe is a strong character who overcomes a lot, and is worth rooting for.

i loved this one!! The last 2 or 3 by Sparks have been a bit of a disappointment to me, so I was a bit hesitant to get into this one. BUT it was worth it! It was very entertaining and got me from page one. I was curious as to the choice which doesn't come into play until a good 3/4 of the way in. But still, the book was a rare treat finally!! YEAH!

another good book by Brian. HOwever, it almost felt like it wasn't connected to the Private series. It just flowed a bit differently and Reed was much harsher than she's been before. But still makes me want to read the next installment!

found the blurb on the back to be misleading. says about 5 friends and a death. if you read it, you'll know what i mean. i have read the entire series because i'm not a quitter, but wasn't that impressed

will scare the crap out of it, and it's based on true information. even far scarier is HOT ZONE also by Preston. If you're interested in medicine and diseases and stuff, these are the books to read
