The story line in this book is amazing. The twists it takes keeps you reading. I couldn't put it down. (0 more)
The only thing I can say is that the beginning drags on a bit too far. It's one of those books that you have to read for a while before you get sucked in. (0 more)
A book that keeps you guessing.
The twists and turns in this book are great! I couldn't put it down once the story got going. I would just about have it figured it out (or so I thought) and there was another plot twist. Kept me interested to the very end!!

These stories were very cute, the illustrations were wonderful, and parts of them had great messages for kids about bullying, being on earth for a reason, and responsibility. However the philosophy behind them is all wrong. The philosophy consists of “oneness with everything” and “made of the same energy” and “we are Divine presence,” and “we are truth” and “Makes no difference the religion”. It is a worldly viewpoint, and I do not come from that viewpoint.

Again, there some great messages in these books, but I personally won’t be sharing them with the children in my life because of the strength of the new-age views that shine through.

This novel sounded really good, and as an English major I thought I would like it. It started off really well; but after chapter 3 it sort of died. I felt like she was explaining her past too much, and I just wanted to move forward with the story and learn about her past little by little. I figured I'd set it down and come back to it in a few weeks with fresh eyes, but when I did I got the same feeling. I don't have the time to spend reading books I don't get hooked on. So if you don't have the patience, this one isn't for you.

This is not the best James Patterson book I've ever read. I figured out the bad guy about halfway through the book and was not surprised. HOWEVER, I enjoyed this book significantly more than many other JP books I've read, because of the characters. I absolutely love Detective Harriet Blue, I think she's amazing and hilarious and a sarcastic ass and I love it. I love the development, the confusion, the raw emotion. I love the game the bad guy is playing the whole way through.

Definitely going to continue with this series, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a kick-ass heroine cop as the protagonist.

What better way to start an Orb dedicated to a book series then by asking everyone which of the (released) books in the series is your favorite?

Although this is a tough question, I'll lead by example and start! My favorite book, thus far, is probably Morning Star. It is hard to top such an epic finale -- even if it does turn out to be only the end of the first act.

With that being said, I actually had to think long and hard about this question. Iron Gold far exceeded my expectations and Red Rising will always hold a special place in my heart.
