11/22/63 Review
King takes time travel, tosses in a love story, and sticks it all in 1963. I laughed, I stressed, and I learned never to gamble on sports in the past. Read it for the wild ride.

The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger Review
Roland’s journey to the Tower is wild, weird, and full of danger. Some bits confused me, but I never got bored. If you like mixing cowboys, magic, and mind-bending plots, The Dark Tower is your new wild ride.
Rating: 4/5
All Quiet on the Western Front Review
If mud, rats, and terrible trench stew sound wild, wait till you feel Paul’s fear. All Quiet on the Western Front hurls you into chaos, friendship, and loss—and keeps your socks wet the whole time.

The Spiderwick Chronicles Review
Wow, Spiderwick packs in wild magical mayhem and weird creatures! The kids get into heaps of trouble, but it’s all fun, even if some goblins look like my dog after a bath. I totally laughed out loud reading it.
Rating: 3.5/5
The Winds of Winter Review
If I had a gold coin for every jaw-dropping twist in Winds of Winter, I’d have enough for a new set of pajamas for Tyrion. Martin’s writing slices deep—bring tissues and snacks for the heartbreak buffet!
Rating: 4/5
The Time Traveler’s Wife Review
The Time Traveler's Wife blends romance and sci-fi. Unique love story with heartache, joy, and humor. Henry's time travel is wild. Clare's patience is insane. Expect feels.
Rating: 4.8/5
All the Light We Cannot See Review
Marie-Laure stumbles through darkness, Werner fumbles with radios, and somehow I’m crying about snails. Doerr makes war feel close and personal—plus, who knew I’d care so much about a tiny model city?
Rating: 4/5
The Spiderwick Chronicles Review
Spiderwick Chronicles made me question every sock I’ve ever lost—maybe a brownie stole it. The magical creatures are wild, the siblings bicker just like mine, and the drawings made me wish they’d jump off the page (but not literally).
Rating: 4.5/5
The Lightning Thief Review
Percy Jackson mixes wild Greek myths with middle school drama and a ton of laughs. The action never stops, and the characters feel like your buddies—unless you hate fun. Even if you don’t like gods, you might like this book.
Rating: 3.8/5
Inferno Review
Inferno throws you into a wild chase across Europe with Langdon, full of puzzles, history, and some wacky science. You'll love the ride—unless you hate running, in which case, this book might make you sweat!
