Save Me a Seat for This Book
930906
In alternating chapters told from the viewpoints of Joe, the class misfit, and Ravi, the new kid in school, Save Me a Seat taps into the feelings of not fitting in and trying to find one's place in the world.  Despite the villain of the piece reading like a stereotypical class bully, Weeks and Varadarajan manage to make both Joe and Ravi likable while also giving them some depth.  The feelings are real enough despite a  straight-forward story that unfolds over the course of five school days.  Parents will appreciate the lessons learned while kids will connect to the fact that both main characters are underestimated in their abilities.  Not the most original book in the end, but it is well written without being overly long and beating you over the head with the message.  A solid middle grade book about what it means to have a friend and the (un)importance of being the most popular kid in class.

Note: ARC received via Amazon Vine in exchange for review.

Wtfish!!! I need part 2!!!!  3 down 2 more to go (if u know what I mean ) but seriously I like this book. I'm on a reading binge and saw this book and bought it. I read this book in 5 hours  and 1 potty break.  I would recommend this to my fellow bookworm /nerds.

I loved this book.  It left me happily thinking "I can do this". This is a book I will purchase. I need a hard copy sitting open on my dining room table so I can mark it up and make it an integral part of my day.

I don't even know what to do with myself after reading this book.

I am only thankful that I came late to the party and the next book will be here soon, because I need it. I have now read pretty much everything Stacey Marie Brown has written and I may go hunting through her trash looking for old shopping lists to tide me over.

Yes, there is a big cliffhanger. (I don't think you could actually make a bigger one.) But it is worth it. And can I have a Sprig? Please.

This is a bit rambly, but all it really means is, please go read this book (and all the others, although frankly if you are reading this one without reading the others you are strange.) And then encourage all your friends to read them too so we can look forward to more book goodness for years to come.

This is a book that I would encourage everyone who knows me about my love for books, should read. It's had me glued. When I had to put it down I couldn't stop thinking about what I was reading.

Anna is a teacher, she's a committed teacher who goes that extra mile for her pupils.
There is one pupil who has "issues" that Anna gets involved in. But this pupil has other ideas.
He wants more than Anna can give, but, does she know that?

The other couple in this story has an unconventional lifestyle. Sooner or later they get tangled up and interwoven in each other.

I found this a compulsive read, an eerie read. I also didn't have a hunge who was the culprit although some seemed a little too obvious. The author took me on a guessing game, a thrill of a ride that I thoroughly enjoyed and was reluctant to get off.

I can't wait for more.

My thanks to Aria for the chance to read this.

the story sounds interesting, the kind of book I could sink my teeth into.  Looking forward to getting hold of it.

I admit I can be a little contrary.  Let a book become popular, or win awards, and I almost want to know what's wrong with it -- perhaps because I see so few people reading and talking about books as I go about day to day activities that it feels almost disingenuous when a book suddenly captures so much attention.  As a result, I've put off reading Ancillary Justice until now.

If, like me, you've put off reading this book, don't.  Get a copy and start now.  I can be pretty sure you won't want to put it down and will be cranky with the people around you who interrupt your reading.

I won't give any spoilers.  But I will say this: if you've been put off by the literary-minded comments about gender and society, intelligence, AI, politics, set-knowledge that this book has triggered, don't be.  It's not a heavy-handed philosophical treatise.

Read it.  You won't be sorry.

But I'm exercising some self restraint and am "sipping" it a chapter or two at a time.  Don't want it to end too soon!  It's funny in spots, insightful and a fascinating glimpse at a different world and how that world views us.  Even though I'm not done with it yet, this is already one of my favorite books.  Heartily recommended!

I don't want to give too much away. I want the reader to connect with the characters and experience all the book. You will laugh, cry and learn much. This reader did and I so hope everyone else does to.

I want to write the script that makes this book a movie. I could picture all the scenes as I read every chapter. Definitely buying the next book.

Plan to read this when time allows. I have purchased several books on Amazon recently and have not had an opportunity to read. This one sounds very interesting and I am anxious to get into it.

Just do yourself a favor and read the thing.  You won't be sorry.  I wouldn't spend over a hundred on the audio book though.  If Stephen Briggs ever gets around to nararating it...well I still wouldn't pay over a hundred, but I'd consider renting my soul out to get my hands on it.

One of the best reviews I ever read was something like this:  "Just read this. Stop reading reviews and just buy this book". I agree, anything I say will be a spoiler.
If you are even reading this review, it means that the genre is up your alley. And if so - stop, buy and read. Warning: wait to start until you have a day off the next day, because you are not going to want to put it down.

I can't begin to say how much I enjoyed this book and am waiting in eager anticipation for more. Some of the plot is predictable but the characters are easy to love and I feel like I know the kingdom.
