Books of 2011 {2}

So I just finished Generation Dead by Daniel waters and I wanted to get my review up as quick as possible. I really enjoyed the book and am super curious to what happens in the next one and where things go for the main character Phoebe. If you're looking for a book with a good amount of suspense then this is the book for you.

Generation Dead by Daniel Waters

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really wish I could give this book a full five stars. The ending was moving and the story was very well thought out. I enjoyed it, but getting through the book was tough. I understand why he wrote the zombie speach out the way he did, but it added to the slowness of the book, as well as the drawn out story. I feel that there are parts in the novel that you are given, but nothing clarifies them in the end. Overall it was a good story and I do really want to read the second one to see what happens and how things progress with Adam and Phoebe.

I can't decide if I should post these when I finish a book, or move it to a day specifically for reviews. So over the next week or so I'll be working on setting something up so my reviews may just be once a week.

So the new year has been put into full swing and January is almost over, but I've been trying my best to read as fast as possible. I'll be honest I haven't gotten much done, but I have read a few including the new book my Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and you can find reviews for them below.

A Shore Thing by Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I have to admit I loved this book. Everyone I talked to before I started it seemed to be against reading it for one reason, the author. But I love anything and everything Jersey Shore, so how could I say no. I finished the book in just two days and couldn't stop laughing the entire time. If you know anything about Snooki you can see the resemblance in main character Gia, even throwing in a few things she's said, and done, on the show. Even if you aren't a fan of Jersey Shore or Snooki I would still recommend this book. It's an amazing book about two cousins who take a month off to go to the shore and end up becoming better people and even closer friends. This book has such a cute story and hilarious antidotes. If your looking for a upbeat and good times kind of book to read I would add this to your list.

The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I have enjoyed this entire series, and the books just get better as they go. With the other books in the series I was able to guess what would happen due to hints in the novel, but with this one I was so engrossed I either missed the hints or they weren't there. It made for an exciting end and a few plot twists to change things up. There were two things that I was unhappy with, first being the final battle and how short it seemed, but I understand that they need to leave most of the big fighting for the final book which is the next book. The other thing I was disappointed with was where it ended. I so badly wanted to know what the conversation Percy and Nico were about to have was about, but it just ended so I'm left hanging and need to get the next one as soon as possible!

Let me know if you've read any of them and what your opinions of them are.
