Haiku Reviews Part II

So I've been reading a lot, but have a major case of the lazies. Here are two reviews of books I've read recently that I loved. I'm almost positive both of these will be on our library system's Mock Printz.

As Easy As Falling Off the Face of the Earth – Lynne Rae Perkins

An improbable
number of things go wrong…you’ll
be charmed through and through.


Ship Breaker – Paolo Bacigalupi

Best dystopian
names and slang I’ve ever read.
Story's not bad either ;)

(i'm counting story's as one syllable. I couldn't decide if it was one or two, so heck, one it is!)

Vacation Reading

I'm back from a lovely vacation, but alas, I had so much fun I only read two books the entire time! And they were both adult books! For shame! I find myself busy so I will review in haiku. Enjoy!

The Magicians by Lev Grossman

Had I liked Quentin
I would have enjoyed this much
much more than I did.



The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill


Meena seemed too good
to be true, but it was still
compelling reading.
