Passion review redo

*CONTAINS SPOILERS

First of all, the first review of this book was horribly done. So, I'm redoing it. :D

Goodreads: Luce would die for Daniel

And she has. Over and over again. Throughout time, Luce and Daniel have found each other, only to be painfully torn apart: Luce dead, Daniel left broken and alone. But perhaps it doesn’t need to be that way. . . .

Luce is certain that something—or someone—in a past life can help her in her present one. So she begins the most important journey of this lifetime . . . going back eternities to witness firsthand her romances with Daniel . . . and finally unlock the key to making their love last.

Cam and the legions of angels and Outcasts are desperate to catch Luce, but none are as frantic as Daniel. He chases Luce through their shared pasts, terrified of what might happen if she rewrites history.

Because of their romance for the ages could go up in flames....forever

Okay review time:

• To start off, here's a general fact about the book: it switches between Daniel's and Luce's provs. I thought this was smart. It gave us a view from both characters instead of just Luce. Plus since Daniel's trying to find her, it really made the book better by showing us what he was up to.
• The book centers around Luce, Daniel and Bill (you'll see who that is later on). Sure, it's about Luce's journey to find the source of the curse and Daniel's to help her and find her first, but then there's Bill. Who's Bill you ask? Keep reading. :D
• In the beginning, a meeting is going on between some people of the Elders, some Outcasts, and a man that I-won't-tell-you-the-name-of-or-I'll-ruin-the-book-for-you. This meeting is in one of the Scale's oldest members, Sophia, who happens to be the eldest Elder. The rest of them are running scared. Anyway, the 'man' is upset that no one has caught Luce yet and tells all of them that it's time for him to take matters in his own hands. At this point, readers are wondering who in the world is this guy and what could he want with Luce. I was. (And I will admit it, I thought the beginning was set in the past, but after I looked again, it wasn't.)
• The ending: TOTAL SHELL SHOCKED. I never really thought it was possible, but apparently it is.

Characters w/ Notes:

Luce: She's changed. Throughout the book, she's trying to find out why she and Daniel are cursed. Eventually, she figures out why and she seems to matured a bit. I like her a lot in the London England life, but I dont' like what she did. (Not telling.)

Notes on her:

• In the beginning, I have to say this, but Luce did seem kinda pathetic and stupid. She knows she's looking for something, or a way to break the stupid curse, but she's so scared that she doesn't know what to do or to take the time to stop and gather herself up and concentrate.
• Forgot to mention, beside being able to travel back and look at her past selves, Luce finds out a lot of things about them. And when she goes "3-D", she gains abilities that her past life has. Then there's that one abilities that kinda keyed her in on part of the curse. I can't say what it is, but let's just say it deals with Daniel's true self.
• Okay, on pages 127-130, around there, we meet Roland again, and he tries to tell Luce something (I'm not going to say) and she can't seem to comphrend something so simple. And later on she goes an ignores him!
• Thought the whole book, Luce is traveling back in time to find out the origin of her curse so she can try to stop it from every happening. I found several of her past lives interesting. Especially the ones in Egypt, China, France, and London, England. It showed Luce in a different sense...you could say. I feel that her as present Luce is a head strong girl that's love sick. In her past lives, she's a young girl that love sick and doesn't really have her head attached. Sure, some of her lives demonstrated courage and intelligentence, but I feel that most of them were just love sick. After all, that's the curse. The only one that didn't seem like a love sick child was her in Italy (a smart nurse) and in Helston, England, where she was a big bitch. (Sorry for my French, but she was).

Daniel: Okay, i have to say, that he seem kinda desparate in this book. He never really stopped to think about where she would end up next. He just kept thinking "I need to get to her. I need to be with her" and all that other blah blah blah crap. He's a romantic (but that's not a bad thing. Romantic guys are the best ;D ). Anyway, he doesn't really change during the book, he still the protective guy that still loves Luce.

Notes on him:

• Pg 33-36. Daniel kinda seems dumb. He's staring at present Luce after past Luce just died. (Oh this is when she was in Russia). I mean, one look at her clothes and I could have told you that she was from the future. Instead he just looks at her then shouts at her like some lost kid. No offense to him, I would have not done any of that.
• Okay, throughout the book, sometimes Daniel would talk to his past life. (How cool would that be?) Several times, when he talked to them, them seemed really depressed. But of course, when Daniel got there, the 'BIG EVENT' occured (you should know what I'm talking about here. NO SPOILER THIS TIME). But then, past Daniel would give present Daniel advice. I thought this was cool but weird in a way. Cool because it's like a father giving his own son advice on girls. Weird because it's Daniel giving Daniel advice, and later on, he'll remember giving himself his own advice. Weird.
• Okay, Shelby and Miles make an appearance in the book. Like all the other angels, they're looking for Luce too. Where and what they do in the book, now that's shocking. I have to say, making them go back in time was smart. SPOILER! Okay, so later on, Daniel merges himself with one of his past lives. (Why I truly don't know. I didn't get that part). To split himself, he needs to have a starshot run down to the center of his chest to split him. If not for one of the two Nephillium, then he would be still together.

Bill (Yep, the Bill): Okay, SPOILER. Luce meets this creepy little gargoyle Bill. Think of him as a small little gargoyle that has the powers of a fairy godmother......father. Anyway, in the beginning, he automatically uses his brains to impress us and Luce. And when I mean he uses his brains, I mean, he's really smart. Soon he becomes Luce's guide on her quest; helping her with looking the part, making sure she said the right thing, providing information on the time period, and information on what Luce was like and what happened to her during the time period they were in. A funny and sarcastic tour guide. I liked him in the beginning, though at sometimes I thought he was really annoyed at Luce for some of the things she did or said. Let's just say my opinion of him changed at the end.

Others:

We don't really meet any other major characters except Shelby, Miles, and the other angels. But I will say this, Cam was very different from what he is now. Why? Well, back then, something changed him. Something dramatic to make him the way he is now. I never really pictured him to ever be like that, but it was a nice change to see a guy that wasn't an arrogant jerk. I just hate what happens to him. :(

Future: I think we'll all be in for a shock in Rapture. With the way the book ended, I wouldn't be surprised if Rapture sells over 500,000 copies the first week with that cliffhanger. I do think Luce and Daniel and everyone else will have a happy ending, but I think one of the characters will die first.

 

Quotes:

Luce-Italy: "But you should go see Miss Fiero at the nurses' station. She does the registration and the scheduling"--Lucia giggled again and lowered her voice, leaning twoard Luce--"and the doctor, on Tuesday afternoons!" Pg 61.

Luce-Helston: "Get away from him, you trollop!" Pg 146. Trollop. What a word!

Daniel and page 113-116. This you have to read.

Bill: "Kids today, they just want things to go fast--boom boom BOOM." Pg. 186

Read this book. It was VERY good. If you haven't yet, go to the Library, Walmart, or get it from a friend. It's a must read. :D

5 shells

Cover: 3 shells

Okay, the only reason why I gave the cover a 3 is that I don't like how the girl looks so thin and animated. The first two and the ones after this one look like real girls. Plus, I really don't like the dress they use in this one.

Ending: 4 shells

I really did NOT like the hugh cliffhanger.

Note: I didn't get this book in exchange for a review. I bought it. Amazom!

Okay, it's kinda creepy to see them side to side like I put them. They kinda look like one guy.

Contemporary February #4: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

*CONTAINS SPOILERS

 

Goodreads:

Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. She's stuck at JFK, late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon to be step-mother that Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's in seat 18C. Hadley's in 18A.
Twists of fate and quirks of timing play out in this thoughtful novel about family connections, second chances and first loves. Set over a 24-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.

Review: Cheesy, sweet, funny, romantic, classic, comedy. Though words are this novel.

The tension between dad and kid because dad cheated on mom and is getting married. Mom's upset. Girl hates dad. But then, one plane ride, one boy, changes everything.

This book was so cute! I loved it. Sure, there were a few things I might have done differently, but I loved it. The feelings Hadley was feeling were so spot on, and Oliver, sweet Oliver, is a total catch. I just feel sorry for him about his dad.

Ok, not actually funny, but heart touching. When Hadley confronted her dad and told him everything, he sat there and listened instead of ignoring her or going to his new wife. That was my "Aw" moment. And all the feelings that Oliver had boiling up in him about his God awful dad, well, let's just say that was interesting to read. 

I have only one problem, maybe that's just me, but if was Hadley, I wouldn't just talk to my dad in a room and tell him everything. No, I would pound him with all my anger. "YOU LEFT MOM! AND YOU STILL WERE MARRIED! AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO ATTEND YOUR WEDDING!!! F**K NO!" That's what I would do. I wouldn't let him get off that easily. 

The characters? Well, in the amount of time the book actually covers, suprisingly the characters did show change. Hadley went from a girl who hates her had and life to one who starts warming up to her new family. Oliver didn't change, but he did get a moment where he could just get it out. Both our main characters had their rage boiling up inside of them, one's rage longer than the other's. I can't say that I wish that things like this didn't happen, but unfortunately they do.

Future: Just a wonderful stand alone.

Okay, sorry this one is short, but anything else I say is basically going to make me feel like I'm repeating what other bloggers have said. I loved the book from start to finish, and though I don't believe in love at first sight, this book put a little belief in me.

Rating:

Cover:

It's cute and creative, but I like the UK one better.

Ending:

I love happy endings.

Contemporary February #3: Dash & Lily's Book of Dares

*CONTAINS SPOILERS*

Goodreads:

"I’ve left some clues for you.
If you want them, turn the page.
If you don’t, put the book back on the shelf, please.”

Lily has left a red notebook full of challenges on a favorite bookstore shelf, waiting for just the right guy to come along and accept its dares. But is Dash that right guy? Or are Dash and Lily only destined to trade dares, dreams, and desires in the notebook they pass back and forth at locations across New York? Could their in-person selves possibly connect as well as their notebook versions? Or will they be a comic mismatch of disastrous proportions?

Review: Okay, first of all, this book was THE BEST!! Seriously, I mean, I was into it from the beginning. Only time I put it down was for homework (Gah!) and to sleep (not that I got much of it). It captivated me so much that by 12:30 (at night), I forced myself to put it down. Now, I maybe exaggerating a bit, this is how I feel.

First off, the notebook. At first, I thought it was going to be dare dares. Like, I dare you to this, dare you to jump off blah blah blah. But no, it was more like, “I dare you keep writing”. In the book, Lily and Dash write down their feelings and what they think on some topics and then ‘dared’ each other to get it to the next place. I thought this was a cute idea and a good way to get out their feelings of hurt and anger.

Dash and Lily’s relationship bloomed like most relationships should: over time. I hate that insta-love crap. Sure, they did it mostly through a notebook, but that’s what makes it cute.

Problem: The Families.

Mostly Lily’s. Dash’s I understand. Parent’s split, Dad and Mom get with new people, Dad’s doesn’t talk much to kid and doesn’t really want him in a way, both go on vacations without kid because kid lies and says he’s staying with the other. I really don’t like Dash’s dad. When the fiasco about kid abuser and baby stealer (long story) came up, his dad didn’t even call him to ask if he was okay, except to see if he need a lawyer.

Lily’s family is okay. I have to say, part of her oversensitivity for most of her life I blame on the parents. I bet they sheltered her too much. Yes, go to Fiji on the honeymoon you never had since you got married young instead of waiting until after you got money to raise kids. Yes, don’t tell your kid that you may be moving there because of a job offer. Yes, let her spend Christmas alone. GAH! HATE PARENTS LIKE THAT! Especially when they are thinking about moving their only kid (that’s not in college) away from the only home she’s know. Plus, they still treat her like a kid. And by ‘they’, I mean everyone in her idiotic family. Example, when her brother got sick, she told her parents. Mom asks if he gets sicker, can she call the doctor. WELL, OF COURSE SHE CAN!! SHE’S SIXTEEN FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE!! And her grandpa, who says she can’t go out alone and blah blah blah. And it doesn’t help that her dad’s the VP of her school, and like she said, “Who really want to be friends with the vice principal’s daughter?” If you get her anger, you fail! GAH! Brother’s an idiot. I get it; yes, he’s in love again after a harsh breakup, but that doesn’t give him the write to ignore his sister when she needs him the most, AND ON CHRISTMAS!!! Thank God she had other relatives who were more supportive.

Second Problem (not a big one at least): Language.

In the book, Dash doesn’t have the cleanest mouth. He says the f-bomb once or twice, and then all the other curse words like ‘damn’ and ‘shit’. I just don’t like it how he uses it in front of Lily, who never said a cuss word in her life. The closest she got to saying was not verbally, but just flipping off her brother.

Main Characters:

Lily: Pure as the driven snow, she doesn’t really cuss or do bad things. She’s the epitome (vocab word! Take that Mrs. Pascal! (definition: perfect example)) of the good girl, except she’s overly sensitive, which, like I said before, I think is because of her horrid parents. Anyway, I believe she’s the character that changes the most. I’m not going to say how, but she does. Last thing, she’s a good soccer player. :D

Dash: Kinda arrogant, impatient, and pushy, but he’s a boy. In the book, Lily’s family describes him as “snarly”, when I think it’s just witty sarcasm/humor. Though he could be thought of as just a typical teenage boy dealing with divorced parents and a distant dad, he’s very deep. Some of things he writes are very deep, and you can see a side of him that doesn’t come out. I love guys like this. :D

Other characters:

For the ones that supported Dash and Lily’s adventure, Lily’s relatives and Dash’s friends, they are awesome.

For those who didn’t: Dash’s dad, Lily’s parents and grandpa, they suck.

Future: Well, the book is just a stand alone, but both authors have written more books like this one that I will definitely be reading. :D

Quotes:

“You’re being silly,” I [Dash] assured her.

“Lily is the greatest girl who ever was.”
I drew closer. “Lily is the greatest girl who ever was.”

For a moment, I think we’d forgotten where we were. Pg. 221

“Cinderella was such a dork.” Lily, pg. 136

“It wasn’t so much about plot. It was much more about character.” Dash, pg. 198

Song: Okay, while I read this, I started to listen to Glee's version of We Found Love by Rihanna. I thought the song went perfectly with the book. Sure, the "hopeless place" isn't all true, but in a way, it is because both are without anyone on Christmas in a way.  

Over all, this book had me captivated from page 1. Twists and turns with the great red note book were entertaining and fun. And the characters were crafted perfectly.

This, my friends, will be one of the only books I reread again.

Rating:

The Big Kahuna

Cover:

Seriously, look at it. I love that the street signs have the title and the authors' names on them, and the heart in the crosswalk sign is amazing. And since the book takes place around Christmas time, and what better than to have snow falling, but even better, heart shaped snow!

Ending:

Love stories are the best.

*Christmas gift from Mom. :D Thank you!

Keep On Reading!

Up Next:

I believe the one to the left is the US cover, and the one to the right is the UK cover. That or it's the paperback version, but I doubt it. :D

Waiting on Wednesday #7

 

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're can't wait to get our hands on.

So, here's who I'm waiting on.

The Immortal Rules

By: Julie Kagawa

Due Date: April 24, 2012.

Goodreads:

You will kill. The only question is when.
In the dark days since the insidious Red Lung virus decimated the human population, vampires have risen to rule the crumbling cities and suburbs. Uncontested Princes hold sway over diminished ranks of humans: their "pets." In exchange for their labor, loyalty and of course, their blood, these pets are registered, given food and shelter, permitted to survive.
Unregistered humans cling to fringes, scavenging for survival. Allison Sekemoto and her fellow Unregistereds are hunted, not only by vampires, but by rabids, the unholy result of Red Lung-infected vampires feeding on unwary humans. One night, Allie is attacked by a pack of rabids, saved by an unlikely hero...and turned vampire.
Uncomfortable in her undead skin, Allie falls in with a ragtag crew of humans seeking a cure, or cures: for Rabidism and for Vampirism. She's passing for human...for now. But the hunger is growing and will not be denied. Not for friendship—not even for love.

Why?

1: It's written by Julie Kagawa.

2: I LOVED the Iron Fey series.

3: I like vampires.

4. The plot sounds like paranormal meets dystopian. I love both.

5: It's written by Julie Kagawa.

Do I need to go on?

So, what are you waiting on?

Contemporary February #2: The Beginning of After

*CONTAINS SPOILERS*

Goodreads: Anyone who’s had something truly crappy happen to them will tell you: It’s all about Before and After. What I’m talking about here is the ka-pow, shake-you-to-your-core-and-turn-your-bones-to-plastic kind of crappy.

Sixteen-year-old Laurel’s world changes instantly when her parents and brother are killed in a terrible car accident. Behind the wheel is the father of her bad-boy neighbor, David Kaufman, whose mother is also killed. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Laurel navigates a new reality in which she and her best friend grow apart, boys may or may not be approaching her out of pity, overpowering memories lurk everywhere, and Mr. Kaufman is comatose but still very much alive. Through it all there is David, who swoops in and out of Laurel’s life and to whom she finds herself attracted against her better judgment. She will forever be connected to him by their mutual loss—a connection that will change them both in unexpected ways.

Review:
Okay, so when I first saw the book, I was like WHOA! I MUST READ IT! Why you may ask? I love contemporary, and the plot sounded classic and unique all at the same time. Classic--girl falls for bad boy, trouble, blah blah blah. Unique--the reason why they did.

In the book, Laurel loses her family in one single night. To her neighbor. Car + Drunk Driver = Death. And why didn’t anyone stop him?! It sucks. Really, it does. I felt extremely sorry for her. 1) she lost her family. 2) she was stared at like a freak because of what happened. 3) she had some annoying therapist "try" to help her through her grieving. Seriously, I wouldn't want some strange lady talking like she knew all about my parents and what happened! Anyway, the fact that David went on a cross-country road trip was amazing, and I say that all the postcards he sent to her (well, actually his dog, Masher, that Laurel was taking care of) was more therapeutic than any talk with a stranger. In a way, knowing that there was another person out there that was going through the same thing as her made her feel better. I might be jumping the gun, but don't you ever feel that way sometimes? That out there there's that one person who is going through what you are, and yet you have no clue who they are? I do sometimes, mostly when I read contemporary. With contemporary, I'm the character, this is the life I wish I had, the life I want. :) See why I love contemporary so much?

Okay, back to the review, I say, the descriptions of what Laurel did after her parents die were kinda typical. And I loved it. I mean, it does happen: you get wrapped in your grief trying to sort through things and everyone suddenly doesn't seem to meet up to your problems anymore and you distance yourself and that one boy or girl asks you out, and all you can think of is "Is he/she asking me out out of pity?" Honestly, that's what I thought when Joe asked her to prom. But I'm happy he actually did like her.

Now, I had only three problems with this book
1): The way they portrayed drugs and sex. Drugs--smoking. David was part of a group that smoked blah blah blah. And Laurel! OMG! She did it once. Thank God she didn't start. Then the sex part. Well, there was implied sex between Meg and Gavin, friends of Laurel, and I'm fine with that because that's them. My problem was with Joe. At the after party of prom, Joe tells Laurel he wished they were in the limo alone instead of being out on the deck of the house. Really? Is that what all boys think of? And then at the end of the book when David and Laurel actually got five seconds away from the act itself! GAH! Can there be one book that the main character doesn’t just throw herself at the guy all because she depressed?! Well, actually Laurel wasn’t depressed depressed, just wanting comfort in my opinion.

2): Now, it may just be me, but when I read the summary, it said, and I quote:

“Through it all there is David, who swoops in and out of Laurel’s life and to whom she finds herself attracted against her better judgment.”

Where was this attraction? During most of the book, Laurel was flirting with Joe, NOT David. The only time they actually showed interest in each other was when they kissed, were in the woods together looking at a cave from their past, or when they were around Masher. Seriously! Yes, the attraction was there, but not so much. I felt at the end she kinda just decided “Oh, well I’m going to like him and not Joe.” Well, throughout the book she actually did question her feelings for Joe, which led to her leading him on at sometimes, which was wrong, but honest, I’m happy she said to him that they weren’t good.

3): How in the world does a car start on fire after hitting a ditch?!


Characters:

Laurel, our protagonist, when through a lot of change. She was detached and distant after the accident, but later starts to come back to life.

David, well, I think he was on a journey of self-discovery. He didn’t know what he wanted to do after the accident and he just left. During his journey, he made a few discoveries. Or at least that’s what I think.

Nana: Horrible what happened to her. Her son died, her grandson died, and her daughter in law died. And did I mention she lost her husband earlier in life? It sucks. Personally, though she’s a great supportive, but sometimes I think it should have been her in therapy.


Other Characters
1. Laurel’s best friend Meg had problems of her own, as in, her parents fought a lot because Mom was depressed and Dad was sick of it. (How supportive!)
2. Joe just really liked her but I think he knew she couldn’t fully like him back.
3. Eve was a good friend and co-worker, even though she pulled away after learning that Laurel’s parents.
4. The two girls, names forgotten, that try to help Laurel come back to life and her friends, were okay but too perky.

(That’s all I can remember from the book)


Future: Just a stand alone, but I think the author will think about making another book just like it.

Though it wasn’t my favorite, The Beginning of After did leave an impression on me, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves contemporary. :D

 Rating

Cover:

I kinda wish it had something more to it. I like it has a girl on the front and looking into the distance, as if she's thinking about her problem, and I like the sun in the background, but I think there could have been soemthing more to it.

Ending:

I liked the ending. Wasn't totally in love with. I like how everything was resolved, but think there could have been more.

*I won this book without any requests attached. I forget from who.
