I saw Scott Westerfeld...LOL I love your last line! <br />I saw Scott Westerfeld do a presentation on Leviathan last week. He was fascinating, he made me not only want to read Leviathan straight away but find out more about WW! and Darwin's theories. The pictures look amazing but more amazing were the photos/sketches that inspired them!<br /><br />Great reviewAlix https://www.blogger.com/profile/04684209302932310537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-83167153534182128772009-10-11T10:43:28.207-04:002009-10-11T10:43:28.207-04:00thanks for all the recommendations!

Reading the book, &...@Leila: exactly. XD hahahaha!<br /><br />Reading the book, "How can you be sixteen and worry about NONE of that?"<br /><br />...<br /><br />I looked ahead a lot, anxious to see when they would finally meet up. And I was hoping they'd like... fall in love. *guilt* but that's complicated when one thinks the other is a boy.<br /><br />Anyways, it was a great read.

Anytime a prince flees for his life in the night-time it's usually a sign of exciting things to come (at least in fiction :).) I'll have to read it.Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11864928264352251649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-76469449910976222362009-09-25T20:54:29.442-04:002009-09-25T20:54:29.442-04:00I had no plans to read Leviatian but than I read t...I had no plans to read Leviatian but than I read this review. <br /><br />There are too many great MG/YA books coming out.
