Weekly Recap 6/27/10

Posted on 27 June 2010

I kind of like this weekly recap idea, so I’m going to go with it for a little while. :)

Books Read:

Incarceron (Incarceron, Bk 1) by Catherine Fisher – So good!  I really liked this book.  It was interesting!  The settings (both inside and outside Incarceron) were so imaginative.  Inside the prison was creepy.  It wasn’t what I expected, but it was cool.  The outside of the prison being another kind of prision for Claudia was a pretty cool concept as well.  I liked how it went back and forth between Finn and Claudia.  As the action gets going, the perspective switches are faster.  There’s a lot of adventure and lots of reveals, but the reveals often open up new questions.  I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.  I ordered it from Amazon UK so it should be here this week or so.

Swoon at Your Own Risk  by Sydney Salter – Eh – it was okay.  I didn’t really love any of the characters.  Most of them were selfish and annoying.  Polly was kind of a brat at times and kind of hard to relate to.  But she wasn’t alone – Jane, Sawyer, Grandma Swoon, and Hayden weren’t likable either.  I did like Xander despite his creepy stalkerish ways.
