![]() I was eager to find out what was going to happen and a certain evil brother might have returned ) ) There was a lot of action in this book and the pace i think was really good. I think they will come into play much later, but for now it was about concluded the relationship between Pike and Bloom, Bonnie and Tucker. So this book gives us a lot more background on Bloom's past and kinda to me explodes and opens whole new story lines that can be taken but i feel as if there is more to this idea than these characters are willing to give if that makes sense. I suppose for me I wish there was more time for Bonnie and Tucker but I also did think their story was good. It was a lot to say good bye to these characters and we really, really did say good bye to them in a way. ![]() But going into this I knew it was a continuation of Bloom and Pike's story, along with Bonnie and Tucker's story. So I originally wanted to take a day or two to think about this, but holidays, then life got in the way and I have just been bad. Alright almost a month later lets do this!!! ![]()

How in the world did the author manage to comprise so much knowledge into such a "succinct" piece of work is a question that I'll probably keep asking for years. Not only do you get a spectacular narrative, which is in and by itself very hard to encounter nowadays, but I bet if you listed out all the trivia in this book, it would take you months to finish it. Don't get me wrong, I've read heftier books, but this one is a class beyond everything out there. It is unbelievable, I kid you not, the sheer quantity of information that you get from these 800 pages. ![]() The thing that I want to start out with is the depth in which Mak has gone in order to produce this.

If it wasn't for the expected melodramatic love triangle we've come to expect from author Stephenie Meyer, this adaptation of The Host from director Andrew Niccol would be even more enticing. 5/5: 'The Host,' a science fiction novel by Stephenie Meyer, is a departure from her 'Twilight' series, but it is equally engaging and thought-provoking. ![]() ![]() ![]() A darkly funny and intimate rendering of girlhood, Sour Heart examines what it means to belong to a family, to find your home, leave it, reject it, and return again.Īn evocative, sometimes twisted, yet all together moving short story collection about Asian immigrants living in New York.
