Part 2 (Sword of Truth - Chainfire Trilogy

Review:Better. Book 10 captured my attention because we really got to see a lot more of Kahlan and her struggle to remember who she was on her journey with the Sisters of the Dark. By her story becoming the central focus, the reader wasn't subjected to the overbearing speeches that have dominated the last 3 books in the series. It was a refreshing change.

Also, the side story of Richard going off to seek the book left by Baraccus was very good, as was the focus of Nicci. Her development as a cha... Read more

Thank you to the translators for the linked notes so I could understand the culture references.

Review:There were some good graphic descriptions of horror in the book. Otherwise, I didn't care much for it or the language, which I'm sure would be more appealing to teenagers. There is also a small part about torturing an animal and I see no need in fiction to write details about that at all. I just didn't care much for the book, even though the story line had such promise. Had the characters been more average or and kind and innocent, I think it might have appealed to me. Read more

The House Next Door: A Ghost Story

Review:This was okay; I can't say that I was riveted throughout, but not a bad read. We are never told what job the protagonist has; maybe I missed it? She really likes to bake but she is home all the time and somehow without any needed income or desire to actually leave her house and go somewhere. She is literally home or at her neighbor's (the one in the spooky house) for the whole book. More characters and perhaps even another plotline or two would have added some depth to what was otherwise a fi... Read more

Review:On the whole, I did enjoy this story...until the ending. I expected so much more since I thought the story was pretty spooky and was building to an ending that would make me want to have a night light on for awhile. I really was disappointed that more wasn't done with the older son - and having the witch end up as maybe a decent sort? Yeah, humanity made their own horror, but come on, that was soooo predictable!
But I have added the author's name to watch for more of his writings, so liked... Read more

The Haunting of Hill House (Penguin Classics)

Review:Let's start with this: I spent October reading scary stories, and horror is one of my favourite genres; this is the only book to give me the heebie-jeebies for longer than it took me to finish the book. When it was over, I immediately texted my roommate and asked her when she'd be coming home... it was the middle of the day.

The Haunting of Hill House follows our protagonist, Elinor, as she goes to -- you guessed it -- Hill House, where she will be investigating paranormal phenomena with ... Read more
