Running Slowly Up the Ramp (Review: “UnSouled”)

Published July 7, 2015 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Reviews, Young Adult, Youth

It takes incredible skill to be a master storyteller. After Unwind and even UnWholly, I would have easily put Neal Shusterman on that list. I read UnSouled, though, so I’m withholding final judgment for now. I’m not as encouraged to keep reading, but I’m glad I did. I have to push through to the end,… [Read More]

How to Really Fight Evil (Review: “Messenger”)

Published January 22, 2013 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Reviews, Young Adult

I am a sucker for a series. I love Harry Potter, and I used to love The Baby-sitters Club, and I’m really only still watching Glee because I have a great gift for the virtue of hope and I hope it will eventually be good again. Somewhere deep down, though, my belief in eternity makes… [Read More]

The Truth Will Set You Free (Review: “Thumped”)

Published October 30, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Reviews

You may remember a little novel that blew my mind last year: Bumped, by Megan McCafferty. I couldn’t believe that someone had combined three of my favorite things: dystopias, life issues, and teenagers with problems. I also couldn’t believe that no one was talking about it! It’s not a stretch to think that our world… [Read More]

An Unacceptable Compromise (Review: “Unwind”)

Published October 2, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Reviews

“Ripped from the headlines” used to be an incredibly popular slogan for movies and TV episodes. A story based on real situations rather than one pulled from a writer’s mind was intriguing and a little frightening. When I heard the premise of Unwind, the most captivating aspect was that I could see it really happening…. [Read More]

Religious and Happy About It (Review: “OyMG”)

Published September 18, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Young Adult

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, ends tonight at sundown. That might not be terribly significant to readers of a Catholic blog like ACNM, but it is to me. Not only do my work responsibilities include frequent, delightful interaction with non-Catholic religious professionals, but I like knowing that other religions have non-secularized holidays, too. The… [Read More]

The Other Side of the Future (Review: “Gathering Blue”)

Published August 21, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Reviews

If The Giver blew your mind, it may further blow your mind to know that The Giver has sequels. As if the journey of twelve-year-old Jonas through the frightening truth about his seemingly perfect world weren’t enough, Lois Lowry has spun another tale. The Giver presented a futuristic world with no choices and an oligarchy… [Read More]

Beware the Players, Beware the Game (Review: “The Westing Game”)

Published March 20, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Reviews

And now for something completely different. Although I have used my other two reviews this Lent to recommend good spiritual reading (Theology for Beginners and No Man Is an Island), not all of my ACNM reviews are of specifically Catholic or Christian books. I genuinely believe that, although it’s important to put God first in… [Read More]

Flying High and Falling Fast (Review: “Mockingjay”)

Published February 7, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Reviews

Dear readers, the end has arrived. That is, the end of this series of reviews has arrived. I dove back into the Hunger Games trilogy at the beginning of this calendar year, and I shared that journey with you all in my reviews of The Hunger Games and of Catching Fire. Moving at a speed… [Read More]
