Ashvini:
Loot is an amazing book. When I think of Jude Watson I think of her action-packed books in the 39 Clues series.  I absolutely loved those books. Loot was just as electrifying but better.
I just want to say that this book is very fast paced. One idea doesn't last too long, everything moves along as the numbers on pages go along. I felt that there was never a time when I had to skim through paragraphs to move on to the next idea.
However, I do want to mention that sometimes when I stopped at a chapter ending with more thoughts rather than action, I wasn't exactly in a hurry to pick the book up again. Don’t get me wrong, I didn't find the thoughts boring; I just was more into the operational chapters. The thought parts of the book didn't last long though.
Overall, I really liked the book and would totally recommend this book to anyone who reads the 39 Clues, or anyone who just likes a con artist, thief-style book. 


Emma:
I thought that this book was great. I loved the heists that March, Jules, Izzy and Darius just happen to pull off. It was really clever the way they planned them like the pigeon drop.
The book took unexpected twists and turns. The ending was completely unexpected. For those of you who have not read this book yet I suggest that you do. Trust me even though the chapters are short (one to five pages) almost every chapter leaves you wanting to read more. There were some parts that I found a little dry at times but other than that you should totally give this book a shot.

The Dogs - Allan Stratton.

OMG guys! We've missed you! We've literally been drowning in homework these past few months and just had to give the reviewing and blogging a break. We are sincerely sorry for our sudden absence. However, it's summer now, so you can expect tons of new posts in the next little while... :) Photo Source Link: Emma: I had a great time reading The Dogs. First, I have to say that I loved the cover and how it showed the books scary qualities. I just love the look of that blood splattered title. I think that it drew me to the book more than the summary which did not captivate my attention nearly as much as I think it could have. If you are not a fan of scary books this book might not be your forté, but if you do enjoy scary books you are in for a treat. The book was also sprinkled with a little mystery throughout that really made you theorize all of the possible directions that the story could go in. I loved how Cameron (the main character) had to piece together w...

Interview With Jennifer A. Nielsen!

Photo Source Link Over the course of the past few months, TwoGirlsThatRead has been working on a really special surprise.  When we started this blog nine months ago, we'd hoped that one day we'd be able to do cool stuff like this. However, we'd never in our wildest dreams (T Swizzle reference) thought we'd be able to do something like this so soon and with someone so kind and talented. This has been an amazing opportunity that we'd seriously like to thank Ms. Nielsen for. About a month ago, Jennifer A. Nielsen released her new book " A Night Divided."  It's a historical fiction based around the Berlin Wall. Us, being the fangirls we are, were curious. about how Jennifer A. Nielsen wrote her books, and why she wrote her books, and just her writing books in general. So, after pulling a few strings we got the opportunity of doing an interview with her and POOF! Here we are now! For those of you that don't know, Ms. Nielsen is a New ...

The Madman of Piney Woods - Christopher Paul Curtis.

Photo Source Link Ashvini's Rating: 3.5/5 Emma's Rating: 2.5/5 Ashvini: The Madman of Piney Woods was definitely and interesting read. It was really different than the usual books I tend to read. It wasn’t exactly historical fiction, it wasn’t really an adventure, definitely not realistic fiction it was somewhere in between all those genres. I have to say, I actually liked it. A few chapters into the book I was sure I wouldn’t like it. I think that’s probably because of all the violence and harsh dialogue in the book. For example, with Grandmother O’Toole and the whole Langahan’s Groceries scene and the fight between Curly Bennett and Petey, you could say I almost lost my “appetite” for the book. I don’t know why but for some reason I kept reading. I get the fact that the author wanted the details to be realistic for the time and setting of the book, but I kind of wish that he used a less savage way to show that. Once you get passed those happenings the book’s...
