Well this book is OK, I guess. The plot isn't that exciting - all it is basically is a guy gets a job at a gas station; his life starts going downhill, and at the end of the book, he's a man. - MNHS |

Scary, thought-provoking - something for high school. Various parts may describe things which most would find disgusting. This book is like Twilight except that Twilight takes place in more of a school setting.

Peeps was an entertaining read. (I read it in about two days, whenever I got the chance.) It was interesting to see how Westerfeld wove actual biology information into the novel (including real (ew!) parasites. I few parts of the book dragged on, so I sometimes found myself skipping the even numbered info chapters to get back to the storyline. A unique novel. - MWHS |

This book was awesome! The plot was great about vampires or all the diseases made this a very interesting book. Perhaps a sequel? - BMS |

I thought the book was really interesting until it got toward the end. You don't get to see what happens to the characters and the stupid trembling noise is some worm creature. Overall I think the book was great but should have ended differently. - MNHS |

Pretties is all about remembering what's important in life. Full of adventure and suspense. - KMS |

I didn't enjoy the book as much as Uglies. There was too much adventure. I didn't like the part where the 'people' thought Tally as a god. It seemed incredibly unrealistic. - KMS |

This book is excellent! At the very beginning, I was practically cursing out loud when Tally was pretty-headed. But later the book became a rush, especially when they do the stunts to stay 'bubbly.' Zane is soooo great; I immediately loved the character despite his former actions - MWHS |

Great book. So much action made me want to keep reading. Excellent! - KMS |

Westerfeld again creates an exciting plot line. For Tally, it must be like deja vu to try to escape the city once more. A few aspects of the book, including the 'reservation' are certainly plausible - Westerfeld's writing beings us into an alternate world in such detail one feels it is happening as they read. - MWHS |
2 |
This book was just a great as the first one and had many twists in it. Also you kept wondering who and where and what was the New Smoke. New characters like Zane and the Crims also added some qualities to the book and Special Circumstances made it all the more exciting. The pretties was an all around great book with a very special ending. - MWHS |

This book should be recommended to girls in the 11-12 age group. It will make you want to read the next book in the trilogy - KMS |

The monsters have found a way to expand midnight so that all humans will enter the blue time and become prey. Complicating the crisis is Rex's residual darkling characteristics that leave him with the unsettling notion that other humans are food, Jonathan's secret desire that the midnight hour could last forever so that he would always be free of the confining "flatland" gravity, and the fact that no one has yet figured out why the darklings wish to dispose of Jessica Day. |

This book is about everyday life. It has a small climax, but it is mostly about conflicts. This is a girl book; I don't honestly think a guy would understand the main character's point of view.

I thought this book was going to be boring, but for historical fiction, it was really, really good. - MNHS |

I think Artie is a strong girl. I can't believe how she can clean and cook! And...she can explore that cave all by herself. She also stood up to her dad. She was brave. - BMS |

I liked this book because Artie follows her dreams about what she believes in, but the author could have used more depth to the story and more umph. - BMS |
