Review:The way Chuck Palahniuk is building his characters will probably look as a split personality point of view. But the book is fluent and easy to ready. I think the beginning and the chapter buildup is very promising and very provocative, and I was expecting a surprise ending. Most of the marketing world is actually a vision made before the internet era. Read more
Review:This is my first Chuck Palahniuk book, and I love it. It's crazy. Like, all over the damn place crazy. May be a bit hard to read for some, but that's the fun of it in my opinion. Sort of like a labyrinth. Excellent story. Great book. 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:Great story sharing some powerful lessons about mind, body and spirit for our journey!
"The Will" inspired me to realize that anyone no matter the odds or background, who reached down deep to "their will" can accomplish anything they set their mind too and change if they lay a plan and take action! Read more
Review:just image going on an hour long foreplay session only to given a second of real action . this is what it feels like reading this book it just strings you along with a blunt impact to the end. not worth paying for the series. Read more
Review:This book was an absolute surprise..Freebies can be "hit or miss" and more often than not, just a series of misses.
Instead, Alvarez has done a great job of creating a strong heroine with an interesting career. Piper is definitely a well - developed character and we get to see her growth throughout the book.
This is a well - written story with interesting secondary characters. Realistic, dysfunctional families abound. Love New Zealand as a setting and looking forward to reading ... Read more
Review:Everyone knows this book and most love it. When I read it 40 years ago I was too young to appreciate it. Now I appreciate it, but I also recognize some flaws in the writing and especially in the character development. Yes it's bold to criticize Somerset Maugham, but he's dead and I don't think he'll complain. Let's face it, he's a great writer, but even he had some flaws. The poor character, Phillip, wanders from life stage to life stage without learning anything from his mistakes. He's conti... Read more
Review:I love the way this book goes and just flows so smoothly . I can't wait to read the rest of the series if it's as good as this book, I won't be able to get any rest tonight for not being able to stop reading!! Read more
Review:Faleena never disappoint. Another amazing story for Cocker Family. I truly love this. What i love with this series is that in every story there is a hidden meaning/lesson you can learn or relate to. In this book, Max's drive to prove that he can succeed on his own and prove that if we have faith in ourselves and worked hard we can always get what we want. It is always a delight reading this series. Keep it coming please! Read more
