Misguided Angel

Misguided Angel by Melissa de la Cruz

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is one of my first reviews, but I'll do my best :)



Misguided Angel is the 5th book in the Blue Bloods series, and I consider it to be one of the best yet.



The story had constant action with only a few slow parts that were necessary for the understanding of the book. The plot with the angels just keeps getting more in depth and I can't wait to see where Melissa de la Cruz takes it. There is so much that can come out of this storyline.



Additionally, I was so happy to finally see the relationship between Schuyler and Jack. It seemed unrealistic in the first few books, but without Mimi there to come between them, it seemed genuine and I loved every minute of it. I can't wait to read Bloody Valentine for this reason. The addition of the new characters such as Deming and Paul was also a nice touch. You get to see some new personalitys and Cruz made me love the new just as much as the old.



I just couldn't put it down. The story was unlike that of the previous books in the series, and I wanted more the whole time. There were so many twists. When something seemed easy, there was always more to it.



The only thing I didn't like was that the main ploit seemed disconnected from that of the other books, but it was all tied together in the end and I can't wait for more.



I definitely recommend it.

Sophie's World

Hello to anyone who stumbles upon this blog..it's basically just me talking to myself for now.

At the moment I'm reading the book Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. My swim coach basically forced me to read it as a way to learn to enjoy swimming more. Well, so far it's just making me hate my coach for many reasons.

The book started out like any other. I was introduced to the main character, Sophie, and her family and friends. Then things started getting strange. And boring. Sophie received letter after letter of philosophy lessons in the mail from a mysterious man named Alberto. I thought my brain was going to explode when I tried to read more than 20 pages of the lessons at once. The author doesn't even try to make philosophy slighty interesting for those who have no interest in it whatsoever, which is a main reason that he wrote the book.

At the point in the story that I have reached(I finally got halfway through after 2 weeks), things are just getting stranger in stranger. People are turning out not to be real and I really don't see how this is helping me with swimming... it's just prevented me from reading my usual fantasy fun books :). I'm probably going to read it through to the end, but that's just because my coach is going to make me...
