Amazing storyline & characters (0 more)

One of the all-time best

I have read a lot of books, but this was by far one of the best ever. This book was nothing short of amazing. It's the kind of book that stays with you - I still revisit it in my mind. I have not stopped telling people about it since I read it... When it first came out!! It's a near-perfect read. And for lovers of nonfiction, this book reads like a remarkable, moving true story.

Visual style (0 more)

A pretty decent comic book romp in the same graphic style as Sin City. Unfortunately any similarities end there, despite a strong cast this fails to pack a punch. I didn't know anything about the comic book and you have to wait halfway through the film to get any idea of the characters background. I felt it could have been better. Maybe one more for fans of Frank Miller stories or comic books. Silly over the top fun action but nothing special.

Christine A. (965 KP) rated Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in Books

I must have seen the movie or heard enough about it that I thought I read the book years ago. It turns out that I didn't.

The book was a very easy and fast read. Ignore the fact it took me a month to read it. It really only took 2 hours to read and was just very spread out and life and other books got in the way.

Give it a read and see what you think. If nothing else, it will help in trivia games.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Gravemaidens (Gravemaidens, #1) in Books

I received this copy of Gravemaidens from Delacorte Press through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fascinating fantasy with a character who think she's a lot smarter than she really is.

I'm not sure if that's intentional or not so that may not be an actual complaint.

Kammani's bitterness about the society she lives in is justified and her anger provides most of the books fuel.

I really did like this book and I'm excited to see where the second one takes us!

This is one of those books I have been meaning to read for a while. It was a lot of fun to get some background on Carrie as well as tidbits on some of my other faves such as Debbie Reynolds, Mark Hamil, and Harrison Ford. The book is mostly about Carrie’s relationship with Harrison during the filming of the first film. I really liked hearing Carrie describe her life in the audiobook and it was fun that Billie Lourd also narrated some of the journal entries.
