I've just finished Hexwood by Diana Wyn Jones, which I absolutely loved for its sophisticated narrative structure that uses time jumps and fake-outs with different characters.

Have just started The Last Stand by Jonathan Stroud.

Zipotes · May 8, 2009

Finished Seven Tears Into The Sea.

Now reading Midnighters (first one in series) Scott Westerfeld.

marianaz · May 10, 2009

Almost finished GONE by Michael Grant. Slow in the begining but the action picks up later on.
Going to read SKINNED next, by Robin Wasserman. Sounds promising....

Red.Ink.Rain · May 10, 2009

Just read TANTALIZE by Cynthia Smith. Now reading LITTLE BROTHER by Cory Doctorow. Not sure I'll be able to finish it though, lol.

Momento Mori · May 11, 2009

Finished The Last Siege by Jonathan Stroud, which I thought was a pretty good read so was surprised to see all the negative reviews for it on Amazon. I think that it suffers in comparison to Stroud's Bartimaeus Trilogy because there's no fantasy element to The Last Siege, but it's pretty tautly written and the only criticisms I'd make were that there should have been a little more character development for Emily and Marcus and I think the book finished a chapter too soon as I wanted to know what the fall-out was from the events.

Have now started Nightrise by Anthony Horowitz. It's the third book in his Power of Five series and an urban fantasy. I'm enjoying this series much more than I did the Alex Ryder series because I find the characters more realistic in terms of their emotional response to the situations they're put in.

I finished Wintergirls, and it was WONDERFUL! Beautiful, scary, sad, heartbreaking, and everything in between! I recommend it to everyone.

Chanelley · May 11, 2009

The Uninvited.

CommaSplice · May 11, 2009

Finished SMACK by Melvin Burgess.

Didn't much care for the ending (I wanted it to turn out right for Tar and Gemma!

), but overall the book was good. Better than some I've seen in the genre.

Angie_Frazier · May 11, 2009

Right now, I'm reading THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH and it is riveting. I just finished Cindy Pon's SILVER PHOENIX, and that was also a winner.

THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH ....I thought this book had a total "The Village" vibe going mixed in with a little "Night of the Living Dead" kept me interested...I think there is a second book coming out in this series???

DonnaDuck · May 12, 2009

I heard it was a cross between The Village and Resident Evil before I read the post above. You don't know how happy that makes me. LOL
