I have always been a fan of mythology and the tales of Odin, Thor and Loki have always been especially entertaining. When I saw that Neil Gaiman was rewriting some of these famous tales, I knew I had to read it.
Read MoreI'm disappointed that I watched the movie version first of Fight Club, as I would have loved to read this book and not know the ultimate twist. However, even knowing the twist that was coming, and being able to catch the clues earlier, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is brilliant and disturbing.
Read MoreI really wanted to enjoy this book more, but I can't say that I did. I appreciated certain aspects of it and Tolstoy can be a good author, however this was a perfect example of one of the classics that went on too long and bored me at several intervals.
Read MoreI loved the illustrations of this book and appreciated the message that Pamela D. Beverly was trying to get across of how to be a good friend and care for others' needs, however it got slightly altered with the wordiness of the story.
Read MoreI was surprised by how dark this book was. Not in the creepy psychological thriller way but rather this gut wrenching make you feel sick and your heart hurt kind of way.
Read MoreOverall, I appreciated the concept and the successes this author was able to accomplish on what was probably a difficult task but I found other parts lacking.
Read MoreBeneath the Sugar Sky, Lolita, Anna Karenina, Shantaram and others.
Read MoreThis book is worth reading since it is a classic and Vladimir is a writer on his own level, but you won’t necessarily want to recommend it to others, nor will you probably ever want to reread it.
Read MoreThis book of the series, like the others, is a perfect mixture of whimsical and important. It is about hope, acceptance and love and how we are all on the search for this in our lives. It is dark and weird, but truly charming. So I am now anxiously waiting for the fourth book set to come out in 2019.
Read MoreI think that had I read this book of Trooper's first, I would have liked it more. But after reading "This is Where I Leave You", which I loved, I expected more from this book.
Read MoreA 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.
