A friend told me I should read this book after we both talked about “Girl on the Train" and “Gone Girl" since it was compared to these books so often. Although there were moments I liked, overall I was just annoyed with this book.
Read MoreI really enjoy Gaiman's writing style. This is the second book I've read of his and it definitely didn't disappoint.
Read MoreAlthough the beginning was a bit slow, I was captivated the entire time by the different characters that were introduced as well as the story line. The fact that it slowly wove itself together so that almost all the characters were connected was an amazing way of writing it.
Read MoreThe Secret Keeper, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, Every Heart a Doorway, Down Among the Sticks and Bones and the books I’m currently reading.
Read MoreThis book is once again an eerie, dark fairy tale from McGuire. But this novel focuses on breaking down ideas of what it means to be a girl. Because there is no one or two ways to be a girl. It’s a short, quick read with beautiful writing and made me even more determined to read the author’s next book.
Read MoreGail Honeyman wrote this novel with a perfect balance of sad and humorous scenes. She took a serious and difficult issue and somehow made it warm and funny, while still showing the severity and sadness of depression and loneliness. It was a book filled with emotion without making it overly-sentimental and made me laugh and cry with it’s perfect moments.
Read MoreKate Morton has this great way of storytelling, especially since she focuses on using flashbacks in order to slowly give you the full picture.
Read MoreAlthough an interesting concept since it is based on some true events and has come action, I felt like this book was lacking in certain aspects.
Read MoreThis story was very strange, but it was so wonderfully written. It is eery, with this almost perfect balance between comical and serious, dark and light, fairy tale and thriller. I have already put the next two books in the series on hold at my library.
Read MoreOne Hundred Years of Solitude, Choke, I’d Rather Be Reading, In Cold Blood, and other updates
Read MoreCapote does an amazing job of piecing together this crime. Although he begins the book by introducing you to both the victims and most obviously the killers, you are still in suspense throughout the entire novel.
Read MoreOne of my friends warned me that this book is dark and fucked up, it’s messy and also “weirdly heart wrenching”. I have to agree. The entire time I was reading this book I kept thinking “OMG”, “what the hell am I reading?”, “this is so good!”. I couldn’t put it down and thus finished it in a couple hours.
Read MoreThis was a wonderful, quick little read that truly had me falling in love with reading all over again.
Read MoreAfter all that I had heard about this book, it sadly did not live up to my expectations.
I wanted to love it, and at times, I did love Gabriel García Márquez’s stylistic way of writing. But, honestly sometimes I felt a little…dumb? less intellectual?… when I was reading this book.
Read MoreSigh, I just don't think this is in the cards for me to enjoy Austen's books.
Read MoreI've loved almost every moment of this series and was so happy with the way this final book ended the storyline of these wonderful characters.
Read MoreI have to warn you, the characters are terrible, perfectly written and developed, but pretty much all of them are pretty horrendous people. The descriptions bring you into the turbulent emotions of these characters and I loved the way the descriptions of the landscape, rooms or weather truly set the mood of the storyline, adding to each scene and setting.
Read MoreI Am the Messenger caught me completely off guard. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it and how much it really moved me. It was such an authentic story that went straight to my heart, and made me examine how we treat strangers.
Read MoreI highly recommend the book, even to those that aren’t the biggest Sci-Fi fans as I feel it’s a great balance and very interesting story that doesn’t go completely out of the realm of possibility.
Read MoreOne of the things I enjoyed most about this book was that the fantasy world Neil Gaiman creates isn't a complete 180 from the world we live in.
