Robin Wasserman (Author)

Book Description

Series: Seven Deadly Sins (Simon Pulse) | Publication Date: December 26, 2006

One of the seven is dead, and everyone's reeling:

Adam's done. With love, with school...with everything. Done.

Beth's doing her best to act "normal," but even Reed recognizes devastation, since all he does is fantasize about Kaia.

Miranda's lost too.

Did she ever really forgive Harper?

Only Kane is actually doing something: uncovering how the crash happened -- and why.

But there's no do-over with death.

There's only moving on -- to the most unlikely places....

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for a lazy day, January 3, 2007

By

This review is from: Sloth (Seven Deadly Sins (Simon Pulse)) (Paperback)

Wasserman came back again for the fifth installment in her Seven Deadly Sins series with "Sloth". Although it had some shoes to fill with the fourth book "Wrath". I found this book to overall be good but not as good as the previous book. At the end of "Wrath" Harper and friend Kaia went to escape the world and their troubles by driving as fast as they could to get away from their small town. But after being drugged by Beth Harper was in no condition to drive and the girls ended up in a car accident with one dead. Although unkown at the end of the last book within the first few pages of this book we find out who died, and as said in a previous review for the book it was Kaia who died. After the accident everyone is dealing with the death in their own way. Harper keeps havin dreams in which Kaia is still alive and speaking to her, and Harper can't help but feel guilty for being the one driving the car. Adam is trying his hardest to be nice to Harper because he feels semi-guilty for shoving her away in the last book. Kane is trying to figure out how everything happened. Reed is dealing with the loss of a girl he loved. Beth has a total change in her personality knowing that it was her fault that Harper was drugged when the accident happened. Miranda as always is dealing with being second to Harper, and she and Harper again have friendship problems. I didn't find this book as good as the last one (as a usually do with these books). This book was not bad but it seemed of more of a transition between "Wrath" and the upcoming "Gluttony". This book seems to lay a lot of groundwork for "Gluttony". This book didn't seem to have a complete ending either which makes it feel like there needed to be a book between "Wrath" and "Gluttony" to tell you the moods of everyone. Overall this book was not bad and as always I can't wait for the next!

4.0 out of 5 stars Aftereffects, April 3, 2008

This review is from: Sloth (Seven Deadly Sins (Simon Pulse)) (Paperback)

After an accident that left one girl dead and another injured, the seniors at Haven High are shaken and scared. And understandably so: Harper's return to school and Kaia's permanent absence are making everyone uncomfortable. Harper is haunted by nightmares of Kaia and the accident; the events of that night are still foggy and frightening. Beth's determined to make Spirit Week memorable, but she finds herself slipping up. Miranda misses the old Harper; the new one seems to be pulling away from everyone and everything. The boys are stumbling as well: Adam's falling behind in school, Kane's partying, carefree; and Reed's surprised to find Beth leaning on his shoulder.

While each of the characters are plagued by varying degrees of guilt over Kaia's death, the only thing that seems certain any more is that nothing will ever be the same.

Sloth is the fifth in the Seven Deadly Sins series by Robin Wasserman. It is recommended that you read the series in order:

Lust
Envy
Pride
Wrath
Sloth
Gluttony
Greed

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad..., December 31, 2006

This review is from: Sloth (Seven Deadly Sins (Simon Pulse)) (Paperback)

This book wasn't too bad. I liked number 4 (Wrath) the best. This book could have taken on a couple more interesting events. Aside from Harper and her problems, this book became a little dull at times. Beth is a good girl gone bad. Adam tries to be nice to Harper because he feels sorry/guilty for her. Kane is surprisingly less of an idiot that her normally is. I don't know... Maybe this book is laying the groundwork for the next one.
