Book Reviews of Chosen (House of Night, Book 3)
Book Review: Zoey cannot always be good!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the reviews on this book before I bought it and was really surprised at the number of people that didn't like it since the previous books were so awesome. I am even more surprised now that I have read the book because I think it complements the series extremely well. Zoey is not perfect and neither are her friends. Throughout the book I kept asking myself what would I do if I was in Zoey's shoes and I never did come up with an answer. She has to make extremely tough decisions and as such, she becomes a stronger and wiser "fledging". A reoccurring theme in the book is forgiveness so I feel that although the ending left you hanging and was more somber than the others have been, you still feel the hope of a better tomorrow for book 4.Book Review: Loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh my god this so far is the best book in the house of night series!!! I loved it, it made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me feel like Zoey! The way it was written let me be connected with the characters and it felt so real!!! I can't wait for the next one to come out!!! This series is even better than the Twilight series!!!Book Review: liked it ok
Summary: 2 Stars
I like this series, but I did have some problems with this one because I felt that the problems were repeated over and over again, and not only was it repetitive it was getting annoying. I enjoy reading these books but I had thought that Zoey's character was stronger and more mature than how she acted in the books and her friends should not have just BAILED on her, they should always stick around no matter what, they should try to understand where she is coming from and how she must feel.
But the only thing that really bothered me was the repetitiveness as I mentioned at the begining, I hope the next book isn't like that because with each one they seem to keep getting better.
Book Review: Early disappointment, better towards the end...
Summary: 3 Stars
After finishing the second book, I was eager to continue the series. My enthusiasm diminished as I progressed through the book. It took me much longer to get through this book, and I read other books while attempting to finish it.
First, the whole "3" boyfriends has gotten stale and degrading. Zoey is supposed to have been "Chosen" by Nyx as exceptional and has powers that exceed any before, yet she continually makes bad choices, even murderous, through the book. One thing I've learned from relationships is if you can't decide who you want between 3 guys, or 2 for that matter, you're probably not meant to be with any of them. I was relieved to see the relationships dwindle by the end of the book. Erik was a bit of a disappointment, but I think he too needs to grow up like Zoey and he had the most potential. The "ho" comment repeatedly thrown out was just tacky!
I also understand that Zoey is a teenager and of course she's going to make mistakes. I just felt she has regressed as the novels have went on, not developed. She needs to be a bit less judgmental. After all her mistakes, she still quick to put others down for their mistakes.
Finally, how superficial were her friends. The descent and realistic step seems like most people would ask why. Especially girls. We over analyze everything, so we want our questions answered. We would have asked more questions before being so quick to shut out.
Hopefully the next book gets back on track. I'll give it one more shot.
Book Review: Intrigue and romance continue to reign in the House of Night
