Loved it. Although it takes its time, it was never boring, and the characters, the humor, and the general good-naturedness of the book made it extremely enjoyable. Contains perhaps the best and most convincing account of childhood I've ever read. Highly recommended.

It took me a little while to get into it because the dialogue seemed strange at first, but once I realized that Hemingway was using English to convey the feel of Spanish, I really enjoyed it. Basically, I read it as a critique of individual, political, and national reasons for going to war and as a reminder that there are human beings on both sides of any conflict.

I enjoyed this one much more than I thought I would. The characters are extremely well done and memorable, and the plot is engaging. I sort of knew the outcome going into it, but Elizabeth's journey from detesting to admiring Mr. Darcey was more convincing than I expected. The book also portrays what is, for me, an interesting lifestyle and time period. Pleasantly surprised.

Hilarious...a joy to read. I thoroughly enjoyed each story, but my favorites were as follows: Jeeves Takes Charge...Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest...The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy...Without the Option...and Bertie Changes His Mind.

Probably the most entertaining reading experience I've ever had. I only read the first Potter book because my wife begged me, but then I tore through the rest of them in less than two weeks. This is the one that took the series to a whole new level, and this is my third time reading it.

A wonderful ending to my favorite series of all time, and just as fun to read the second time around as it was the first (I read it so fast the first time that I could barely remeber what happened).

This is the second of the Professor Dr. von Igelfeld entertainments, and probably the best. A couple of scenes and many of the one-liners in this book are among the funniest I've ever encountered in fiction. Immerses you in a very unique point of view. Highly recommended.

Not quite as addictive as the Kite Runner, but maybe better overall. The Kite Runner's plot was a little too tidy for me, whereas this one felt more like real life. It was depressing at times (most of the time, actually), but the characters were endearing, and for me the ending was poignant and uplifting.

This is the third Dickens book I've read so far. It was okay, but I didn't like it nearly as much as David Copperfield or Great Expectations.

It was interesting at times (especially in the middle), and it was a little spooky at times (especially as the middle transitioned into the end), but I thought the ending wasn't all that satisfying.

Good but not great. On one hand, it was enjoyable: creative, interesting, quick, and sometimes funny or thought-provoking. But it wasn't structured very well, and it took some getting used to. Main idea: human relationships and circumstances (countries, families, technologies, etc.) are mostly arbitrary, so they shouldn't divide us: what really matters is treating each other with common decency.

A satisfying conclusion to a very good series in the young adult fantasy genre. I'm sad to see this one end, although it seems Riordan left a window open for a follow up series.

Not nearly as good as I hoped. Basically, I agree with the general idea that we're becoming a superficial society that values mindless entertainment and distraction, but his way of making this point didn't resonate with me. Also, his writing style is too overwrought for my tastes.
