Review:This book was amazing. Never thought a robot would make such an impact and make you wonder what was going to happen to him next.
I have been thoroughly impressed by the DBDA series, I can only hope it continues and we hear more about Kil.
Being an officer in the military, J.L. Bourne does an amazing job bringing military tactics and equipment to life. He is an expert on the subject, and it shows through the writing. I can only hope we have a "Checkers" in the future. Read more
Review:Fountain may have had good intentions when thinking up “Billy Lynn” (critiquing capitalism, sexism, war, etc. is a worthwhile pursuit) but the execution was, at best, extremely poor. At worst, it is a harmful piece of literature disguised as satire.
Let’s start with his treatment of women, shall we? Every mention of a woman, no matter the context, is sexualized to the extreme. Yes, you could read it as satire; Fountain is simply pointing out the objectification that women face. But making... Read more
Review:Absorbing as always. I love Barbara Havers, who always retains her essential self while changing outwardly. Here she takes up tap dancing, and loses weight. Lynley, the perfect gentleman, finally takes steps to make his "guv" seek help with her drinking. I couldn't put it down, and I didn't want it to end. Read more
Review:The most important thing you need to know about this book is it is NOT a suspense/thriller novel. If you read the dust jacket, you already know who the killer is and who they killed. Though the description and endorsed reviews suggest the question is WHY the victim was dispatched, the reader can easily deduce this information early on in the novel, and it is stated openly about halfway through the book.
There is no mystery here. No wondering. As far as its title, its promise, this book fa... Read more
Review:The characters were so believable and well-developed. I found myself thinking about them as if I knew them. The plot twists kept me engaged and there were surprise developments at every turn. A great read. Can't wait to read more of Butler's works! Read more
Review:I thoroughly enjoyed the second installment of the DS Manon series. Manon is a delightful mess, as always, and I can't help loving her supreme *humanness.* The mystery in *Persons Unknown* is more immediate than the one in *Missing, Presumed,* and I enjoyed it more because of that. Manon and Davy are both back (yay!) along with a new perspective character, Birdie (who is fantastic and hilarious). This is a steadily paced mystery - it's not urgent, but it definitely kept me turning the pages. I h... Read more

Review:I received this book for an honest review.
This book would be a great read for all teenagers. It delves into some very difficult situation no teenager should have to go through. The bullying described in this book is severe and I hope and pray if even one teenager reads this book who bullies and stops when they see how much hurt it causes them this book is worth ievery read! Also, if any person going through the difficult situation this girl does in the book hopefully they will learn tha... Read more
Review:The BrandenburgStudies ebook edition is obviously not edited for Kindle. The line breaks after a few letters, often in the middle of words. Too expensive for such poor quality, no wonder there was no sample. Read more
