MUST READ
After I graduated this summer I was reading just about anything I could due to all my free time and I saw sooooo many people recommending this book so although it’s not what I would normally read I gave it a go. I am SO glad I did, I read it within a couple of hours and I would argue it is my favourite book of the summer! It is incredibly eye opening. As a law graduate I like to think I am relatively clued up about society and although I knew that the medical profession gets no where near the credit they deserve I couldn’t believe how much they are put through! Adam Kay writes such a powerful piece while still being witty and engaging, you almost forget it is a true story! I fully support his message and as soon as I put the book down I was telling everyone I could about it! I would urge everyone to read this book! As a side note (and probably completely irrelevant) I couldn’t believe it when I saw an acknowledgement to one of my closest friends at the end of the book, it’s such a small world!

This book was so poorly edited that I had a hard time following the plot. Until a revised copy is released I do not recommend reading it and I suggest no one buys a book of this quality.

the football talk is kept to a minimum!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
OK, here's the thing. I am not, in any way, shape or form, a football fan. I have to know about football for work, but that's all. I do not watch, or follow any teams. So I approached this book with caution. I've read other books by Parker and I loved them, so I gave it a go.
I am pleased to say, the football talk was kept to a minimum!
But.
I liked this, I cannot love it.
I found the speed of the relationship fast, but there was hardly any soul searching. Given as these two together could cost them both their careers, I expected some deep internal monologues and I don't get them.
I found the emotional connection a little flat, between Udo and Steven. Some of that is a follow on from the previous point, but I just felt a bit let down by that.
The steam level is fairly low, but that's not a bad thing. I liked that.
That said!
I did finish it, and there are some interesting side characters, who I hope will get a story. I will try another in this series to see who comes next!

I love "The Road to El Dorado." I know that there are a lot of people who think that the plot is too predictable and that the characters don't feel fleshed out, but I honestly think that it's a really fun adventure movie with a lot of heart. And it has a lot of fun moments. So I appreciate this film and I will love it forever.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This is a fascinating book that starts off very slowly.
I really loved Lena as a character and her strength.
I really how there's a sequel!

I bought this book thinking I would like it because I liked Maguire’s After Alice and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. However, I have tried to read it 3 times without being able to finish it. I love a good tale about how a villain became a villain, but I can’t seem to get into this one. Every time I’ve tried to read it I find myself thinking about other things and bored. So, for now it’s a did not finish.
I don't think I ever really listened to a rap song by Ice-T. I really enjoy him on Law & Order: SVU and I like his reality show with his wife. So I thought I would give the book a listen. I learned a lot of interesting things about him and made me like him a little more. If you have followed Ice-T, you probably know all this stuff, but it was interesting for me to find out about his background.
