Fantastic ending. Perhaps more of an adult read than student.

Hold Fast and Water Castle are near the top of my TBR.

I am never quite sure about his books. Some I love and some not so much. This one just sounds like one I would have abandoned.

Same with new books by authors you haven't enjoyed in the past, authors grow and change and evolve who they are as well as their writing. The Spinelli book is something else! I have so many notes and jottings about it that I won't know where to begin with it! It's going to be a challenge to review that book!Nicole L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16803189343078878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-32394274795327897042013-04-01T07:48:16.757-04:002013-04-01T07:48:16.757-04:00Sad about the Paulsen book - it just goes to show ...Sad about the Paulsen book - it just goes to show that you really do need to read 'em all and just can't go along with a trusted author!

I sometimes feel like I only read positive reviews, and it makes me worry that my thoughts might be ill received. Glad to know you appreciate it :) I'll stop by later to see what you read this week!Nicole L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16803189343078878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-61864834085699747902013-04-01T06:49:02.894-04:002013-04-01T06:49:02.894-04:00I really appreciate the very honest comments.

I always need graphic novel recommendations, though, so I'll check out Poseidon. I also realize I didn't write what I'm reading this week so I'd better revisit mine!
