As I Wake

 As I Wake
written by Elizabeth Scott












 Elizabeth Scott's books have always been hit-or-miss with me.  I admire her writing style and think she is talented at what she does, but some of her stories are more bland than others.  As I Wake had an intriguing premise, but the delivery was confusing.  It was a weird blur between dystopian and realistic fiction, and while that may appeal to some, I would have preferred a clear distinction.  Reading the summary, I was hoping for something realistic-but-creepy, similar to Living Dead Girl, which is my favorite of Scott's books.  Instead, I got the suspense I was looking for, but with a heaping side dish of confusion leading nowhere.  You know, the kind only previously experienced through watching LOST, only, in my opinion, worse.  I don't know.  I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but you think Twilight had an unhealthy romantic relationship?  I think you haven't read this book.  This was my least favorite book written by E. Scott.  I love her writing, I do, I do, and I'm reading Between Here and Forever right now, but I just couldn't get into As I Wake, despite trying. 

Also by Elizabeth Scott:
Bloom
Stealing Heaven
Living Dead Girl
Love You, Hate You, Miss You
Something, Maybe
The Unwritten Rule

I got this book from...: Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

James Dashner

The Death Cure written by James Dashner No, really, what did I read and why ?  James Dashner, what, what, what are you doing?  There are a few cool reveals along the way, but as far as books go, this was not a satisfying conclusion to a trilogy.  We get answers, but the one thing I wanted to know most of all (Thomas' past) remains a mystery.  It felt like most of this book was pointless action that dragged on for no reason, so even though there were things happening, it felt like nothing was happening at all.  The plot was not advanced.  It was violence for the sake of violence.  Theresa and Thomas were, at this point, the only two characters I cared about, and Teresa barely showed up at all in the entirety of the story.  The ending was rushed, and yes, I enjoyed the few twists we got at the very  end (the last page ), but come on.  This was a story that needed answers and plot twists and instead, we got epic battle scenes that I didn't ...

The Van Alen Legacy

The Van Alen Legacy written by Melissa de la Cruz So, I'd firstly like to address the fact that this is not the last book of the series . I don't know why I was led to believe that it was, but let me tell you, it is a huge disappointment to read a book and discover that the saga is still not over when you've finished. I kind of just want to see this series end. I stand by what I said last time, I'm in it for the plot. I do have to commend de la Cruz, as I thought her writing had definitely improved significantly in this book. But it's still a lot of "ooh, look how fancy we are" and not that much substance, and what substance it does have, it moves excruciatingly slowly. I did feel like a lot of what happened, happened too conveniently, too much like wish fulfillment for all of the characters, tied up way too nicely. I'm still sick of the fact that Jack Force...exists. I do suppose that the fact that I feel so strongly about the characters mea...
