Rapture - Lauren Kate


While this book did have an ending that was easy to spot from book 2 (Torment), it was still very entertaining and a great read. I sped through it very easily as it was written well and easily. All the characters I had grown to love over the last three books featured and all had their own part in the story. 

There was a slight twist near the end that I didn't see coming until just a little while beforehand, and that is just another reason to love this book and the author. Even when you think you have it all figured out, there is a little bit more to add.

Rapture neatly wraps up the series, while still leaving it open for tangent series to be made from it (which I personally would love to see happen as I enjoy the world the books are set in). Also what is great is that you don't have to have read Fallen in Love the novella 3.5 that come out after Passion but before Rapture to help tide fans over and it also gave more history into some of your favourite characters.

A solid 4 stars, great for a weekend read along with the entire series.

A New Year!

Well it's a new year and this blog needs updating (desperately). 2011 was pretty bad in terms of reading. I set a challenge to read 61 and only ended up reading 22. That is appaulling! So this year I am determined to meet my quota (60), not only in the number of books read, but also in the type. This year I will be reading 12 of the following:
  • 12 classics
  • 12 from the shelf
  • 12 borrowed from friends (or the library)
  • 12 purchased
  • 12 reviewed books
I'm feeling pretty good about this challenge ... I have placed Goodreads widget for the 2012 challenge down the left hand side of this blog if anyone is interested in following my progress.

So far I have read two books; The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (1 classic down, 11 to go) and The Way We Were by Elizabeth Noble (1 reviewed, 11 to go).

Reviews for those will be coming soon, however I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed the Great Gatsby and The Way We Were completely surprised me.
