This is the first of the Hazardous Tales series I've read. Super impressed and buying the rest of them for my libraries!

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would:)

such a fresh spin on dystopia...poetic and heartbreaking and i just loved it:)

read this for work...the message was fine; i just didn't need to read an entire book to absorb it.

i felt like the format (written in text form) is geared toward younger girls, while the content (lots of sex, drinking, drug references) is definitely geared for older girls. not a fan.

meh. or maybe good...just not my genre.

so bad. but my 13 year old self was entranced.

ok - didn't actually finish. it was light and charming, but maybe i just wasn't in the mood for light and charming.

started out not psyched about this book at all. but it had some good twisty turny stuff at the end. couldn't put it down. solid B chick lit.

solid YA historical fiction

dammmnn i think i have a new author crush. brilliant.

total sob-fest. but the very best kind.

gorgeous book - one for the jonathan safran foer fans out there.

good standard fantasy fare. i thought the inclusion of the photographed seemed forces sometimes.

timely topic - lots of students i work w/have a fascination w/hoarders (as i do although the show seems to have tired me of the subject). anyway, this book started off promising - characters were well drawn-out and believable - but the ending was abrupt and a little ridiculous and contrived. disappointed.

i'd never read a 'corset-ripper' before, and now i can say that i have (it was for book club). wowzers.

oy. wanted to like this but didn't. unrealistic, cliche, very flat characters, annoyingly in-your-face symbolism, ridiculous ending. there are far better titles for YA dealing with this subject matter.

for anyone who was obsessed with her diary (as i was). this is a gorgeous book - chock full of pictures and commentary and makes me even more desperate to visit amsterdam someday.

well-written - 'what is the what' for ya readers.

amazing artwork - a gorgeous book.

funny and clever but not enough to sustain a whole book.

i've had a lot of teachers and friends pass this book by because the title suggests something far more adult than the content of the book. it's very british, very funny, and a good quick read. very 'bridget jones diary'. mindless 14-year-old obsessed w/boys stuff. there is far, far worse out there for girls (clique series....). this is fun fluff.

*update: jane read it and thought it was drivel :)*

adorable. short and sweet and funny.

ok - it's been done so much better though.

really loved this

well-written, thoughtful short stories but not sure how many boys will be kept interested.

really beautifully written

great story

beautiful, serene eye-candy

funny and honest.
