I'm not a big fantasy fan so I'll admit I got really lost when I was reading it but I wouldn't say it was awful but it was really confusing. I'm gonna still be continuing this book series but I really had a hard time falling in love with the characters but even more so understanding the point/plot of the book.

I reread this and am just as impressed with it as I was the first time I read it. Collins’ world building is incredible.

Good Book. A little slow in parts.

Read this because we were going to France. Fun to hear about the making of the painting but not the best book overall.

This was a cute romance!

Well researched and questioning. I appreciate the discussion outside of a theologian trying to sell the idea of Heaven and Hell.

A little slow, but interesting story.

This is a wonderful, illustrated book with Audubon's hand-colored engravings. The text describes Audubon's exploration of birds throughout the country and includes his poetic descriptions of birds and nature. There are 64 birds with their descriptions.

While likely not an uncommon response, I loved this book. It was the first book I've read in a bit, and I found myself unable to put it down. I never read it in school, and think I can respect it even more reading it outside of that context as it was by my own accord. Similar to The Handmaid's Tale, another one of my favorites, I found this story to not be too far off from our reality, which made it ever more significant to me. It certainly deserves a place on all bookshelves! The only reason it got 4 stars is for its vague, rather unsatisfying ending, although it was likely left this way on purpose. However, I will forever be upset that Clarisse did not welcome Montag at the end of the story with the others by the rail tracks!

Another favorite! Can be read in so many different voices!
