I love this book. I can't wait to bring it to my writing group.

I liked the concept of the protagonist's memory loss. What kept nagging at me was that part of her ordeal felt like it was punishment for past actions. I followed her journey, but though I was happy with the ending, it could be said that negligence played a role in her story.

I've often thought of what happened to the gods of centuries past. Gaiman definitely kept me interested throughout the protagonist's quest.

I had this book on my nightstand for a month and it was in between two books I really wanted to get to and two books I was reading simultaneously. There's a chance I didn't give it the attention it needed and will definitely come back in the future to reread some of the stories I enjoyed.

I haven't read anything on President Lincoln since the fourth grade. This book wasn't just entertaining, it was a recap high school history textbook-style of his life. Grahame-Smith was right when he wrote that Lincoln had an extraordinary life and accomplishments without adding vampires into the mix. This book was fun.

I loved it. I avoided this book believing that it fell into a genre of novel that I tend to avoid, but it was actually a lot of fun. Katniss is a strong female protagonist and though she's only 16, you find yourself rooting for her on her journey. You can definitely feel Collins screenwriting background in her work. The novel was continually fast-paced with rarely a dull moment.

I enjoyed reading through some of my favorite tales and discovering ones I hadn't read. I also enjoyed reading the essays on Poe, two of my favorites being by King and Grafton.
