two reviews for you

Mortal Engines
   by Philip Reeve
Science Fiction   |   373pgs.
     In an era where cities and towns roam the world consuming eachother in a practice calle Municipal Darwinism, the young apprentice historian Tom saves London's Lord Mayor from an assasin.  He expects to be treated as a hero, but instead finds himself left behind on the ground with the assasin, a mysterios girl named Hester Shaw, as London moves on.  He only wants to get back home, but he needs Hester in order to survive away from the city, and with her he may learn that his heros aren't as virtous as he thought, and what exacatly the sinister plan they have for London is.
     An engaging, easy to read book with an interesting but not overly complicated plot and a wide variety of characters.  The point of view switches between a number ot them, givin the reader the whole story as to what's happening in this vividly imagined world.

my rating: 4.5   |   amazon.com rating: 4.5


Sloppy Firsts
   by Megan McCaferty
Teen Diary   |   280pgs.
     Her best friend Hope has just moved away and Jess Darling doesn't know how she's going to survive without her.  She has so many things to deal with, such as the superficial Clueless Crew, as she calls the other girls she and Hope hung out with, a variety of family problems, and of course, boys, all of which would be so much easier if her best friend weren't a thousand miles away.
     It could have been just another typical teenage girl diary style book, but it's more than that.  It's smart and funny and filled with great characters.  And oh yah, a boyfriend is not the same as a happy ending.  And did I mention that it's smart?

my rating: 5   |   amazon.com rating: 4.5
