Review:Not my favorite Palahnuik novel but it was an interesting read. As I got further into the story I started to like the main character Madison and even found myself relating to her struggles with body image, acceptance, and trying to discover who you are with everyone telling you what you're supposed to be. I think the best characters are the ones you wonder and think about after you finish the book. Read more
Review:In A Reluctant Bride, marriage was never a thought for Sadie Shrock, let alone marrying because she seems to have no other choice. Sadie is a very sweet girl that I liked instantly. She had a lot to deal with all at once and handled it as well anyone would. I did not care for a few of the characters at first. They grew on me, like they did with Sadie. This book has grief, heartache, deceit, greed, lies, abuse, and death. I was left hanging with a few questions about characters that will most lik... Read more
Review:This book is the youngest Fisher sister, Emily's story. Each book could be read as a standalone book, but you get a much fuller and complete picture by reading them in order. I had gotten to know Emily from the first two books and was anxious to read her story. The book flowed really well and I didn't want to put it down. I liked how the Biblical principles were woven through the story and how the characters grew during the course of the book. Like the first two books, this book gives a little g... Read more
Review:This second volume of the looking glass trilogy is much better than the first volume, the romance was more believable and the plot was less confused. For the most part, the secondary characters added to plot. A little bit formulaic, but fun reading experience.
I'm glad I bought it! Read more
Review:Jasper Fforde has a unique way of looking at things. The mixture of the familiar, and somewhat bland for those of us with knowledge of some of the settings, with the outrageously bizarre is the hallmark of this author. Those who have read any of the nursery crimes or Thursday Next books will not be disappointed Read more
Review:This is not a well-written or researched historical novel. The characters are all stereotypes and the plot is implausible. There are tremendous inaccuracies about the "stars" of the story, the M4 Sherman and PzKpfw VI Tiger tanks. "Fury of the Tiger" is like a pre-teenager's fantasy of tank warfare in Normandy. All-in-all, this was a disappointing read. Read more
Review:Yet another excellent Cussler book. Whilst co written, it still shows the Cussler mind and his many story lines. I would recommend this book to all fans of the Oregon series and look forward to the next one. Read more
Review:I will revise this review once I've fully finished the book. It was really hard for me to get going on this novel, for two reasons. First, the thing reads like a screenplay, like Nesbo wrote it while imagining how it'd look on film: lots of scene-setting and little dialog. Second, the translation has been done in British English. I'm not sure why this throws me off but it's like trying to read a Jack Reacher novel with the voice of James Bond in my head; it just doesn't fit. I'm guessing the maj... Read more
Review:In a few rapid-fire opening pages the Norwegian cop with the bad personal habits and the absolute crummiest name in the gumshoe-thriller genre, Harry Hole, screws up and shoots a U. S. Secret Service Agent in the back while working a security detail covering a 1999 U.S. presidential visit to Norway. As a result, Hole gets himself promoted to inspector in the Oslo Security Service. Go figure.
That's the prologue. And that's how events and circumstances don't often turn out as expected in a... Read more
