The beginning is slow, but once you obtain into it, Golden is a novel that is hard to place down. There were revelations that actually surprised me once the mystery started to unravel. Because while this is very much your typical unpopular-girl-trying-to-navigate-her-way-through-high-school sort of book, it also has a rather intriguing mystery attached to it. I was definitely more interested in this than Lissy's yses about how much of a freak she is, so it's a amazing thing that the mystery takes over in the latter half of the novel.While it's a amazing story, it's apparent that the author was young when she wrote this. The characters lack complexity and a lot of the conflict is superficial. I know it's probably supposed to be the point that all the "Goldens," or famous kids, at the high school are unintelligent and shallow, but I like to have a small more realism in the characters I read about. The only interesting hero is Lilah, the leader of the "Goldens" because she's hard to figure out.Even though I don't usually like melody and sound effects in audiobooks, I did like the melody that signaled the end of every section. It was various each time and perfectly complemented the tone of the story at the time. The integration is so well done that I hardly noticed that there was background melody playing (which is a sign of a amazing soundtrack, in my opinion). Jenna Lamia also does a amazing job in portraying Lissy.I would say that Golden is a amazing beach read. It's quick, has a decent plot, and a really amazing ending. Young adult paranormal fans -- this one's for you!
I created the mistake of picking up this book while in the middle of reading a couple of others, because as soon as I opened it up to the first page I couldn't place it down. It has a witty first-person narration that engulfs you in the story and makes you instantly like the main character, Lissy. She is simple to relate to, faced with typical teenage drama even though her power to see auras is anything but typical. It is fascinating to see the other characters described by their auras; it gives us a better sense of who they are and what they are feeling even though, because of the first-person viewpoint, we are never privy to their thoughts. Lissy isn't the only hero with a psychic ability of some sort, and the method that weaves with the plot makes this an engrossing read and a special addition to the YA paranormal genre. In the end I was satisfyed, but left wanting to read more about Lissy and the other characters who are just as endearing and entertaining. If you're looking for a fast read with a new blend of humor, fantasy, and suspense, then Golden is a must.
Jennifer Lynn Barnes wrote GOLDEN when she was only nineteen, but you can't tell that by reading this book. It doesn't seem like a teenager wrote it (not that all teenagers are poor writers, but most think they're method better than they actually are), but an experienced author. In the novel, Lissy James' family moves to California from Oklahoma. Huge deal. Lots of people move. Lissy's move, however, is a small ere are two major dramas she has to deal with in her life. One is the typical teen-movie sort of high school thing: everyone in her high school is separated into two groups. Goldens are the famous ones, Nons are everyone else. She's got to understand that and decide which side she falls e may not have much of a choice, though, if her Aura Vision gets in the method of things. In her family, the women have powers to see things differently from most people, and Lissy can see people's auras. If that's not freaky enough, her powers are expanding so that she can see more, even the connections between people. Possibly, she thinks, the fault of her grandmother.Every part of this book is great. The characters are interesting (with method more to them than meets the eye, which is nice, not to have everything right at the surface). The plot as well. Perhaps teenagers in an ordinary globe with magical powers are becoming rather common in young adult literature, but this book is one of the better ones of that type. Anyway, it's a amazing thing to write about. Popular, and you can usually obtain a amazing story out of it. This author sure did!In this story, there's evil. There's magic. There's the famous crowd vs the losers. Even a tip of romance. Basically, take elements from lots of famous teen books, place them together, and you have a amazing book: GOLDEN. Not only is it a fabulous first novel, but it's written by a brilliant fresh author. I'm certainly looking forward to reading Jennifer Lynn Barnes' next book!Reviewed by: Jocelyn Pearce
This book was beautiful amazing overall. I actually read this years after it came out, after reading some of Barnes's other books. Unfortunately, her later books were all better than Golden, so for me Golden didn't seem as good. However, it was still a fun and refreshing story. The premise was great, very original and interesting. The plot was decent. It was a small hard to obtain into first, but after that I couldn't place the book down. One of my favorite elements in a story is suspense, and Barnes executed that perfectly. The characters were okay. I liked Lilah and Lexie, but Lissy, the main character, was a small flat. As a reader I didn't really obtain a amazing sense of her character.When you look at the whole story, though, this book is a promising debut for an author. Jennifer Lynn Barnes has potential as a writer, improving her writing in her later books. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a light, fun, and refreshing page-turner with a paranormal element. I would also recommend Barnes's other books.
GOLDEN tells the story of Lissy James, who has just moved from California to Oklahoma and struggles with the unexpected social hierarchy of Goldens vs Nons at her fresh high school. To create matters more complicated, Lissy's also dealing with ever-growing Aura Vision, which is sure to brand her a freak, an uber-popular cousin who seems bent on making Lissy's life miserable, and a fresh teacher who may or may not be evil. Barnes does a amazing job of blending the supernatural and real-world elements of the story in a natural and meaningful way. She wrote this novel as a teenager, which may be why the drama of the high school globe rings more real than in most novels with related settings. Also, unlike most young adult authors, Barnes doesn't seem to think that teenagers are completely stupid, shallow, and self-obsessed. Her characters have more to them than meets the eye, and they don't fall prey to the disease a lot of young adult characters do in which they describe every aspect of their designer wardrobes in excruciating detail. The characters are smart, and the contrast between Lissy's snarky, sarcastic inner thoughts and her somewhat more meek outward demeanor is very relatable.
GOLDEN tells the story of Lissy James, a fifteen-year-old who has just moved from California to Oklahoma. At her fresh highschool, the populars are the Goldens and everyone else is a Non, and Lissy doesn't wish to be considered a freak. To complicate matters, Lissy has the Sight: she sees auras, colourful clouds surrounding people that reflect their moods. Unfortunately, Lissy is certain that there is evil in the school and that it is up to her to end e final confrontation of the book seemed a small rushed and some things remained unexplained or aren't explained very clearly. The plot also seems like it relies on coincidence and luck a small too often. Occasionally the book seems to drag on a little. However, what created this book shine was Lissy's character. Lissy was so realistic, and I really enjoyed her sarcasm and her comments about the "backwardness" of Oklahoma. Lissy is one of the first characters that I can remember reading about that actually seems like a true teen, like a person I could know. The supporting characters, too, were fairly well done, though none came close to reaching Lissy's character.Overall, this was a very amazing first novel. Considering that Barnes wrote it at the age of nineteen only makes this book even more impressive, despite its faults. Barnes is definitely a amazing writer, though the plot could do with some work. I look forward to reading Barne's next work TATTOO and strongly recommend GOLDENto teens who have fun stories of the supernatural or even the primary new-girl-at-school story.
GOLDEN, the debut novel by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, centers around the story of Lissy, a middle-of-the-road teenager with just one unique characteristic: Her ability to see auras.When Lissy moves from California to Oklahoma, her bonus of Sight starts to go all crazy, and she has to learn to deal, along with navigating an insane social ladder at the fresh is book is fun, intriguing, and just won't allow go. I LOVE the fantasy element, even though I dont usually read fantasy/paranormals...it works SO well in this novel that you believe every page of it. You also never see the end coming-- and by the time it does, you want the sequel was already ve stars for Jennifer Lynn Barne's debut, GOLDEN
Lissy James comes from a long line of ladies who possess the Sight, a supernatural sense or ability of some kind. She can see people's auras, with various shades indicating various personalities - and amazing or poor intentions. The women in her family - especially her younger sister Lexie, who has yet to acquire a Sight of her own - think she should be proud of her Aura Vision and hone her skill. Lissy would rather not broadcast her bonus to her fore her family moved, Lissy told herself that Oklahoma wouldn't be the same as California, but she had no idea how various it would truly be. At her fresh school, the famous crowd decides who is hot (or, as they say, Golden) and who is not (Non). Lissy watches as the famous girls work their charms on the boys and realizes something out of the ordinary is going on. Before she knows it, she's swept up in a power struggle not only between social classes but between amazing and nnifer Lynn Barnes' debut novel is sure to appeal to fans of modern-day supernatural stories set in high school. With realistic dialogue, a amazing amount of twists and turns, and a rainbow of colors, the auras and characters of Golden shine.
I purchased this book at a amazing price. In fact better than I could search on their competitors site. However, the book itself I found to be incomplete. And for a basic/beginners book I would recommend this one but for a more in-depth how to I would recommend the Technical Service Manual that Amazon sells as well.
Ben H. Winters has a knack for working with high concept stories - after all, this is the man who gave us the "final working detective on a doomed Earth" novel The Latest Policeman as well as the "what if we never fought the Civil Battle and slavery never ended?" thriller Underground Airlines - and Golden State is no exception. Winters throws us into a globe where lying is forbidden by law, giving us a society whose religion has been replaced by a belief in universal, agreed-upon truth. To enforce that, Winters gives us the Speculative Service, a branch of police whose members can literally detect falsehoods, and whose livelihood involves arresting those who have committed crimes versus the state through their falsehoods. And if that's not enough to convince you that this society emphasizes the importance of universal truth, there's the Record - a mass surveillance state, where every member of society is constantly recorded by an wonderful network of cameras and monitoring stations...oh, and by the citizens themselves, who contribute to their own per usual for him, Winters takes this high concept and uses it to make a taut genre-driven thriller - after all, at its core, Golden State is a murder mystery, plain and simple. Yes, someone has to have lied to create this happen, and yes, there's something bigger going on - but in the end, Winters has shown again and again how amazing he is at constructing gripping, tense thrillers, and Golden State is no exception. Nor does it deviate from the method that Winters makes his plots work within his settings and conceits so well, intertwining the two so that the story here couldn't exist without the Record and the State, and vice versa. What makes Golden State particularly interesting, though, is the method Winters is using it to comment on and answer to the modern globe so directly. Starting with Underground Airlines, Winters began to work more consciously on taking on larger problems with his book, and Golden State continues that pattern. Here, it's the idea of the fractured nature of truth, particularly in an era of cable news networks, shouts of "fake news" from dissenting factions, polarized Fb posts, and news stories where no one can even agree on the primary details. By the time a hero mentions that this common belief in truth is essential, because the idea of a society where no one can agree on the truth is untenable...well, it's not hard to see his point.But what's equally compelling about Golden State on a purely visceral level is how carefully Winters doles out info that changes how we're reading the book. For as much as it seems like Winters is telling us everything about this globe and society in the early going, it becomes evident quickly from passing comments and veiled mentions that our assumptions about the nature of this globe isn't quite accurate. And while I won't obtain into specifics, for fear of ruining the ride, I'll say simply that it's a treat watching the book slowly pull back the curtain to reveal its backstory when Winters is amazing and r all of that, I'll be up front and say that the ending - or lack thereof - of Golden State is a letdown. As gripping as the book is, and as much as I was flying through it, devouring every plot reversal, every revelation, every unexpected fresh detail, the book's abrupt halt feels jarring and disappointing, as though we earned a conclusion that we never got. It's enough to weaken the book before it more than a little, as though Winters had everything planned out and constructed perfectly, but then failed to stick the landing. Nonetheless, the ride Golden State gives you is a amazing one, with thematic depth to spare, world-building you can lose yourself in, and a genuinely engaging and surprising plot. Just brace yourself for when the tracks run out abruptly at the end.
It's a book written between 150 - 180 AD, and it holds up in its own way. For sure a few problems with how things are worded, since it is translated from what I assume would be either ancient Latin and/or Greek depending on where it was first published in ancient Rome. But the story follows an interesting tale of a man cursed with horrible luck until his poor luck ends. The ending is a bit flat, and there is a strange middle break where they go right into another Roman myth about cupid, where the author could have easily summed it up in a few paragraphs, but decided to do a chapter and a half of this secondary tale. Regardless of that, when the story hit it's high points, and there was at least one per chapter, it was very enjoyable. I also think it is funny since this book is an adaption of a Greek play. Just goes to present you that humans are always adapting another media into another media. Several hundred years ago, we did plays to books. Now we do books to movies.
Interesting translation... Looks like Old English but I'm not sure. Simple to read, but how some things are translated completely confuses me.
This book is a riveting classic. I couldn't place it down. The language and style is as amazing today as when it was created, and the pace is well set. However the ending is somewhat anti-climactic.
I love melody and when I heard the song "Brandy" on the radio one day, I did some research to search the group that performed it. Looking Glass did not sound familiar to me, but I bought the CD and there are quite a few amazing songs on here. Elliot Lurie started the band and wanted to be a hard rocker, but the recording company was more interested in his ballads. I like both kinds of music, but his voice does purr on "Brandy". None of the other songs on the album are poor either. It is definitely worth the buy.

I am so disappointed. I played for weeks and got to $38.40 in dollars and over 8 millions in points. All of the sudden, it disappeared. What a waste of time. Is this a trick they use to obtain people to watch their ads?
what is going on i m playing single player n scoring higher score later when match gets over screen hangs n then if i go to home page my coins didnt obtain increased but gems i used while match gets decreased i m seriously disappointed i was very satisfied to see this android game on playstore but it messenger one is better
Edit: amazing modernize created unique balls less effective, thus the android game is much better. 5 stars. *** It's a really nice android game but people buying unique balls have an unchallengeable advantage. You can't earn balls so you will lose almost any android game versus an enemy that has a unique ball, this is frustrating and useless. Pay-to-win at its worse.
In Golden Oldies, Brian McFarlane takes us on a unbelievable journey among hockey's greatest heroes and memorable NHL sagas, some well known and some not… but each story very worthy on its own and fully enjoyable from both first person and second-hand accounts. The underlying order may read as "random" chapters, yet the history of the android game intertwines among generations as do these stories. To the credit of the author's approach, one can imagine oneself in front of a fireplace or at a local pub, hearing Mr. McFarlane or the named players spinning their yarn and bringing to life the Golden Oldies of yesteryear. One may think they know hockey history, but think again, until you have a possibility to learn more from this outstanding book. It both educates and entertains and is a must-read for real fans of the game. Thank you, Mr. McFarlane, for again putting your vivid, story-telling pen to paper!

All the women in Lissy's family have the Sight - a psychic bonus that Lissy would be more than glad to give up. After all, the Sight caused the family to move from California to Oklahoma because her mother's bonus is finding lost things. Only she didn't search the kidnapped kid before he was murdered and public sentiment has turned versus ssy's bonus is growing. Now she sees connections between people. This doesn't support in her fresh high school which is divided between the Goldens - the popular, attractive people - and the Nons. She is thrown together with Lilah whose mother is dating Lissy's uncle and her squad of Goldens but soon finds her own squad with Nons Audra and mething evil is event at her high school but she can't convince her mother and grandmother that her fresh math teacher is evil. This leaves Lissy, Audra, Dylan and Lissy's younger sister Lexie to search out what is going on and stop it before there are more is is the author's first book and was written when she was nineteen. It has some rough edges but was an enjoyable paranormal story.

When Lissy James moves from California to Oklahoma, she expects her fresh home life to be exceedingly boring. After all, what is even in Oklahoma? When she gets to Emory High, however, she realizes it is going to be anything but boring. The social structure -- Goldens vs. Nons, is both extremely prominent and hard to understand. Lissy is even more worried about Emory High discovering her Aura Vision, which is growing stronger all the time and sure to label her as a freak and a Non for life. The more time she spends there the more she realizes that the may not be the only one with "powers" and that not even her aura vision can support her know at all times who is amazing and who is not. Readers will cheer for Lissy as she wars evil, some in the form of her school's alpha female, some much more dangerous. This new-girl tale has far too a lot of supernatural elements to be completely familiar, yet girls everywhere will relate, and the characters are realistic enough that you may begin to wonder when you'll keep your powers.
