I love this series. Book 3 was a little bit of a letdown for me (by that I mean I gave it 4 stars instead of 5). However, this last book was amazing. I did feel as if Shusterman ignored some of the story lines for too long, but when he did get back to them they were amazing. Shusterman did scare ...
OMG THE ENDING THOUGH. I started this series thinking it was pretty good-not amazing, but good enough to spend a lazy summer afternoon reading. However, this last book blew everything out of the water. I loved how all the characters really found themselves and had a happy ending in their own diff...

This book was one of the most entertaining book I have ever read. I really liked it because there was mystery and action throughout the story. The plot is weird, but the author makes it believable. Having this book to read was really good, because it kept me busy. I gave the story 4 stars because...
This book I thought was pretty amazing. Some parts of the book had just sheer energy that wowed me and made me read faster to find out what was going to happen next. Sections where I'm actually gripping the book harder and my blood gets pumping. Those parts of the book were written, in my opinion...
The only reason you need to read this book: Antsy.I adore Antsy. I was giggling through this whole book, in spite of the exaggerated situations and over-the-top scenarios. Antsy and his family are going on an all-expenses paid cruise with Old Man Crawley and Lexie to celebrate his 80th birthday. ...

His dreams are warning enough that this state of slow decay won't last, and something beyond his worst nightmare is com...
So this was a book that I stumbled upon at the Goodwill while scouring the shelves for a different book. I grabbed it in greedy excitement because I had no idea this book existed. The Shadow Club Rising is a sequel to The Shadow Club, which was a book we read as a class like in 5th grade. It's al...

I feel as if I'm always saying this in my reviews of Neal Shusterman's books, but I can't think of another contemporary author who hits the mark so resoundingly time after time, coming up with stories that mix powerful philosophy, gripping suspense, painfully real characters and shocking twists t...
The Dark Side of NowherePersonally I did not like this book. Being an avid YA reader, I found it disappointing on various levels. I REALLY did want to love this book and give it at least a three star review, but I couldn't. Due to many factors, which I will list bellow.This Book Needs To Explain ...

Antsy was the first out of his friends, Howie...
No one likes to be second-best. We all have that one person who constantly does better at whatever we're trying to do. There's always that one kid who wins all the awards, who always succeeds at everything while the rest of us are left to feel like no one notices us. This is the sentiment that dr...
I am quite disappointed by this book. I had really high expectations for this. I heard amazing things about Neal Shusterman and I love scary short stories. I thought it would be a win-win situation. I was wrong. The stories are mostly hit or miss.The thing that bothered me most about these storie...
