So I saw that they made a TV Series based on this book, I have not watched it yet, I wanted to read it first. This book spoke to me in ways that reached me deeply. You have to ask yourself, "I've helped raise this child that is not mine, what am I willing to give up in life to keep her safe?" The twists and turns in this book kept me engaged. The snarky teenage angst came through flawlessly. I can't wait to see if the series holds a flame to the book version.

I thoroughly enjoyed this 562 page travel through the lives of the Romanovs, Rasputin and Russian revolutionary politics. It was dense in some parts, but I really felt like I knew the Tsar and the Empress by the end of the book. Even though you know how their lived end, Robert Massie still keeps you engrossed in their lives, in the happy times as well at the sad.

nventive, lyrically written fantasy. I guessed the first big plot twist fairly early on, but was completely surprised by the cliffhanger. There are several characters and themes I want to see more fully developed in the sequel.

Nice book on the Signs that we get from the universe and the ones we loved who have passed. Many instances of Signs recieved by people are shared in the book, which are quite astonishing to note.

Nice book

Interesting characters

Just a wonderful read! Great for kids and for adults. Such a wonderful plot with adventure and personal growth themes to think about.

This was a fun little book to listen to. It was okay, I wanted the ending to be more crazy and with a bigger plot twist, but it was pretty good. It seemed to wrap up nicely so I don't know why there are 2 more books, maybe I'll read them later.

Another young adult genre read. This one was personally driven by my love of poet, Pablo Neruda. I loved the author's interpretation of what his childhood was like (with creative liberties of course). It seems he had a very stereotypical Hispanic upbringing, where he needed to be more of a man's man, and not a writer, dreamer and collector. Seeing how he breaks the mold of what is expected of him and becoming who he is destined to be is heartwarming.

Nice Novel about Timeless Love.
