I had my doubts about this book, but as soon as I got to know Cinder more my whole viewpoint changed.

Cinder is an amazing character.  She was insecure about being cyborg and {that thing that I can't say * spoiler*}.

Cinder has character motivation.  She was motivated to find a cure for her stepsister {who had letumosis} 

and fixing her getaway car.  

When you read this book you will fell like you are in the story.  When Cinder has adrenaline rushes; you also have them.

At the end of the book {last fifty pages} my heart was about to beat right out of my chest.

My reactions:

"Oh, no! Cinder!"

"Kai! Are you Crazy!?"

"YAY!!!"

"Oh thank heavens!"

"I KNEW IT!"

Cinder will make you feel the feels.  I loved it!

Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter

White Rabbit Chronicles #1
Released: September 25, 2012
Published: Harlequin Teen  
Pages: 404 in the US Hardcover edition
Synopsis:  Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that’s all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.
Her father was right. The monsters are real….
To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn’t careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies….

Novel by Gena Showalter |

My Opinion:

      Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter absolutely fantastic.  I have no bad comments about this novel at all.  It's entertaining, comical, action-packed, and the romance is beautiful.  I would recommend this novel to anyone.  The beginning didn't have very many zombie related things, but it was still very intriguing.  

Cole's and Alice's Relationship:

This was one of the most confusing relationships I have ever read about; I still loved every minute of it.  It was funny, cute, and vehement.  Cole is protective of Alice, and it is so cute.

The Zombies:

The zombies in this novel are not like any other kind.  These zombies are spirits and only certain people can see them.  If a person is not in their spirit form they cannot touch or see the zombie and vice versa.  There is only one way to kill these zombies and no it is not through the brain.  Just read the novel to find out for yourself.  You won't be sorry.

Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler

Released: December 2011
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Pages: 354
Synopsis: Min Green and Ed Slaterton are breaking up, so Min is writing Ed a letter and giving him a box. Inside the box is why they broke up. Two bottle caps, a movie ticket, a folded note, a box of matches, a protractor, books, a toy truck, a pair of ugly earrings, a comb from a motel room, and every other item collected over the course of a giddy, intimate, heartbreaking relationship. Item after item is illustrated and accounted for, and then the box, like a girlfriend, will be dumped.


Novel by Daniel Handler | Art by Maira Kalman

My opinion :

     I did not like this book whatsoever.  The characters were not at all intriguing, and the storyline was bland and nothing exciting happened.  The only thing that made me read till the last page was my curiosity.  Why did they break up?!?  Sadly when I got to the end I was disappointed; it was a normal reason for a girl to be pissed at a guy and break up with him.  

     The protagonist  is swearing up and down throughout the whole novel; I don't care if she was mad.  I have a pet peeve; and that is the extensive use of swear words.  The one word that always made me want to put the book down was, 'G.D.' and it was used in almost every paragraph.  So, to be honest, I hated her.  She was annoying!  

     In my opinion, this book was not worth the twenty dollars I put into it.  It was pretty in design, I do admit that.  It would save you a lot of time just to skip to the last few chapters and find out why they broke up, honestly.
