I watched this on Netflix and I did enjoy this, a lot more than i expected. I'm a gamer myself and I got the excitement of going into a VR type world and playing games like that. Who doesn't love finding easter eggs in games?

I enjoyed the storyline. It was new and fun and I was cheering on the good guys from early on. I wonder if they'll make a film based on the second book? If they do, I'll watch it.

Nancy Duff, in the context of Christian faith, raises a number of questions for believers to take into account regarding death and making informed end-of-life decisions.

I found this book very helpful in raising questions based on faith as opposed to other books on the subject that have been more medical based.

Certainly a book worth reading and contemplating even if you yourself are not actively concerned about your own end of life. It helps the reader see other considerations that someone facing the end of life will be thinking about.

What job for Elsie?
The about is based on reading this book to my 5 and a half month old son.

What I did like with this book is the inclusion of disscussion points. These are perfect to engage an older child who has read the book or had it read to them.

I wasn't sure where this would lead, but I enjoyed the journey. The twist was shocking, and I cried, but at least it all made sense. And it was necessary, based on how things unfolded.

I certainly recommend this book!

Monk and Natalie are off to Summit, New Jersey, to help new police chief Randy Disher gain a handle on the string of burglaries plaguing the normally quiet town. This book is an absolute treat for fans of the TV show and Lee's novels based on them because of what he does with the characters.

this book should have been called "our titch" because the first 3/4 is all about her pretty much? only the last 1/4 really connects to vinnie?? i did enjoy it but based on the title and blurb, this is not what I expected

Easy to read fictional story based on real murders commited at the same time as jack the ripper. focusing on three characters. The author depicts the seedier side of london with the opium dens and the prospect of fear and death around every corner. wonderfully atmospheric. can`t wait for the next book for the further adventures of Dr Bond

Always the last few pages
This book, like all others by this author, is a page turner...once you get into the story. This one took me way longer than usual to get hooked. Based on the style of the past books written by Coben, the ending was not a surprise in the least. All of his books are worth reading, this one was more flat than some of the others.
