"When I finally set off for Gombe many people felt it would be a wonderful opportunity for me to spend hours reading. A couple of people even suggested I take a good book to read while I was waiting for chimpanzees to arrive in a fruiting tree, or when I was sitting, hoping to see some, on the peak. I was shocked: how could I be immersed in the world of the wild chimpanzees if I was reading books about another place, another time. But I did have one book with me – I was reading it when I left London. It was Monica Dickens One Pair of Hands. I read it many times when I had malaria!"

Predictable (0 more)

I typically don't read books like this, and I'm not a big believer in the one anyway. But, I wanted to give it a try, because the synopsis made it sound interesting.
There are five different stories contained within this novel. It was engaging, and I always like a sci-fi story that's not too fantastical. The stories were all interesting in different ways, but some of the characters are incredibly stupid.
While I did like this novel, I thought it was super predictable. I knew how the majority of the stories were going to end about mid-way through. I'm still glad I got out of my comfort zone and read something I wouldn't normally read.

I was pulled into this hook, line and sinker.

And something really exciting happened, and as life threatening as it could turn out for them I am so happy!

We learn more about Jethro in this one and he really, really, grew on me. I felt for him so much. For both him and Nila.

As much as I would love to jump straight into the rest of the series I think it will kill me to have to wait so long for the last two books so I'm going to put it on hold until after the fifth book has been released and then get back to this passionate but illicit love story.

lots of cursing (0 more)

Man, the Beta Male has some problems. Charlie Asher suddenly finds himself a widower with a newborn child. If that wasn't enough change in his life, he finds out that he has a new job: Death.
A book about grief, and processing death, Moore's supernatural take on the human soul is unique.
It does drop more F-bombs then I was prepared for; although I'm not sure why since he tends to curse quite often in the other books I've read and I would do the same if I ever found myself in that position.
This book is full of humor and wit, it is also more melancholy as well.
