"Incarceron" by Catherine Fisher (No Spoilers)


I know!  I know!  I'm so far behind it's getting ridiculous.  I've been busy...?  No excuses, I know.  I'm sorry.  I'll do my best to write these next few reviews, but I'm afraid they won't be involved as I'd like.  It's been over a month since I've read some of these books that I'll have to rack my brain to give you specifics on anything.  (This is why I started this blog in the first place... So I could read a book and then write about my thoughts on it before I forget what I liked/disliked/etc!  Apparently, I've gotten a little out of synch.)  It'll get better... I hope.  Anyway, here we go...




Oh my goodness!!!!  I loved this book so much!  I gave it a big 'ole 5 stars!  I have to confess... I am one who TOTALLY judges books by their covers.  (C'mon... Admit it.  We all do... At least a little.)  Well, when I saw this book, I was immediately fascinated by the cover so, of course, I picked it up.  "Whaddya know... It SOUNDS fascinating too!  I must read it!!!!"  That's pretty much what went through my mind.  I made myself get from this book from the library (in an effort to tame my crazy book spending ways)... Unfortunately, it was on hold and I was fifth in line!  Ugh!  So I waited patiently... And waited... And waited... Until I FINALLY got my chance!!  And it was very much worth the wait.

I don't know what it was about this book, but I could not put it down.  I finished it in a day.  The story is told from a "duel-perspective" which I usually don't like, but it worked here.

This is one of those books that I can't really describe to you.  You just need to read it!

And I am so thrilled to know that it is being made into a movie!  Yes!!!  I truly think that this book, if done well, has the potential to make a visually spectacular movie.  I can picture the prison so well in my mind and I would love to see it on screen.  On the other hand... I'm a little wary, of course, because with my high expectations... I have a greater risk of disappointment.  Fingers crossed...

I highly recommend this book!  I am anxious for my chance to read the second (and final) book, "Sapphique".  I am currently waiting for it from the library.

Coming soon is my review of "Red Riding Hood" by Sarah Blakley-Cartwright, but for now... Go read something else!  

Adiu!!

My purpose for this blog is to express my opinions and thoughts of the books I read. I want to inform the world (or, more specifically and realistically, my friends who may actually be interested) on which books inspire me, which make me angry or sad, and which I just plain love for the simplicity of them.

Too often I read books and, because I do not discuss them or share them with others, the meanings behind them just drift into the nothingness that is the back of my mind, very likely never to be recalled again. Too often do I say, "Yes, I've read that! I loved it!" and then realize I don't remember a thing about the book in question. I don't like that... I don't like that at all, Jerry.

So... Here I am. I've decided to blog about it. Why? Because it seems like that's the thing to do when you want to say something but don't know who to say it to. This blog will be me... Giving my own personal (and ultra valuable) opinion. Some of the posts may have information about the books that you do not want to know. The posts in which I feel may be giving something away, will have "Spoiler Alert!" in the title. In these, I may, quite possibly, be going into detail on the story, so if you haven't read the book and don't want to know about it, then PLEASE don't read that particular post. Just sayin'... I don't want any of you book club ladies getting angry with me because I spoiled the end of 'Pride and Prejudice' for you. (;

There you go... That's what this is all about. And, here I go... Off to cuddle up in my jammie jams with a warm cup of tea and read something. I'll be back when I'm back. Enjoy!
