Presumably this is the last book in the evil librarians series. Narrated by Bastille, her edgy and sarcastic outlook on life is refreshing and entertaining. The book gives a satisfying conclusion to a wonderful.series.

I enjoyed reading this book. It slowly showed the development of an important character of the Hunger Games series. It was done in a surprising and satisfying way. I would recommend reading this after reading the others in the series, even though it is a prequel.

Enjoyed the clever pun carried throughout the book to put across the encouraging message that each of us should keep trying. The bright colors will engage beginning readers. The light-hearted tone keeps the message from being over-bearing. Loved the last line/pun.
Who Gets In And Why

I have a junior in college and a junior in high school and I thought this book provides some useful information. For those who do not have an appropriately cynical view of higher education, this book may be enlightening. I was not surprised to learn that what I learned from my experiences working in an admissions office at a highly selective college in the 1980s remains pretty much unchanged 40 years later. The fundamental lesson from this book is that there's no magic formula for all colleges. There are many many more qualified applicants for every College then they can accept and the ones who get acceptance letters are often based on factors beyond their control and more about the colleges than about the students. Parents need to relax about where their kids go to college because there are a lot of great colleges and your kids will get a great education almost anywhere they go as long as they want to get a great education.
Like, Literally, Dude

If you're a proscriptive grammarist, stay clear of this book. But if you are curious about how we got to where we are in language and are particularly interested in the evolution of how we speak nowadays, this is a great book for you. The author looks at common verbal tics that are so annoying to so many, and shows that most of these have been centuries in the making. Are you wondering how we got to where we are with the word literally? Do you wonder about how long ago people started using like in all the different ways that it is used today? Do um and uh serve an important role in communication? When did we start using the singular they and is it actually unusual? I found this book to be an enlightening experience. My only criticism would be that it tends to be a bit redundant and somewhat didactic about certain topics and is not shy about flogging them to death. Overall this is an interesting and educational read.
