Impostor

So, I've been excited to read Impostor for a while now, probably because I didn't take too close a look at the summary. I read "x-men like powers" and "secret agent" and "stop a serial killer" and went "WOOHOO SIGN ME UP FOR THAT, PLEASE ( Read more... )

several months ago, i found that there was free Kindle and Nook apps for the iPod. that plus free ebooks = score!

the freebies are mostly okay to not-bad reads, (what i rank on goodreads as three stars). some are absolutely phenomenal....and of course, some are complete flops.

Penelope Fletcher's Glamour is one of the flops.

( blurb and my complaints, includes a couple spoilers )

I had been obstaining from most vampire literature for as long as I could in order to let the Twilight phenomenon run its course out of the bookstores and I was dying for another taste (badum-cha!).

XVI by Julia Karr (2011)

cyranothe2nd wrote in bookfails Jun 30, 2011 23:02

My synopsis (no spoilers):

XVI is a dystopian novel about Nina, a girl who is afraid to turn 16. This is because when a girl turns 16 (or "sex-teen" as the book repeatedly calls it), she is tattoed with a 'XVI' that declares her to be of legal age. She's basically fair game.
