nice easy read (0 more)
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This is book 2 in the Tenet Gentleman's Club series, but I have not read book 1. I did not feel as I missed anything for not doing so, since the couple in that book are not mentioned, I don't think, in this one.

You get pulled straight into this book, and what Elizabeth is trying to solve, right from page one, and It does not really let you go!

I liked that both Elizabeth and Langdon have a say, although it took me a little bit to grasp Langdon's first name and put the two together.

I liked that there is intrigue and drama. I did have an inkling, right from the start, about a certain character, so it was fun watching that all come to pass.

It is an historical romance, so its full of the rules and regulations of the time, along with words for various things. Made me chuckle a time or two how the feelings these two had for each other were described towards the beginning. It's not overly explicit but it does carry some steam, once Elizabeth gave into the need to have Langdon in the way she wanted.


It's a well written story, that delivered to me just what I needed at the right time.

One teeny niggle though. The book is set in London, and as such, I expected ENGLISH words to describe certain things. A couple of things were given AMERICAN wordings.

First I've read of this author. Will I read more? Quite possibly if the blurb grabs. If it's an historical, I will know to look for the English/American wordings and it won't bother me so much!

4 good, solid stars

*same worded review will appear elsewhere

An epic adventure into the world of Virtual Reality gaming
This is the first instalment of the Sword Art Online series, originally written in Japanese but translated into English in the form of a light novel. The first book introduces you to the world and some of the players, the plots, side plots and the different factions that form. Most players team up to the defeat the game, but the main character decides to go it alone. Thousands of players die, thousands are still trapped but once the game has been completed you might be fooled into thinking that this is the end. This is not the case, so far I have read 17 of the books in the main series and a few other side stories. This is an epic world and an epic story.

Original
A great little low budget, English comedy horror! This has a good B movie feel to it, featuring a young, largely unknown cast it has a good balance of laughs at the silliness of it all, followed by moments of danger. I also like these type of films when they are grounded in a real setting, this being an every day council estate in South London. Also unexpected for this type of film is how well shot it is, good use of light and cinematography is plain to see in most scenes. The creature design while simple is pretty good. The only downer for me was some of the over use, of so much slang, but again there are teenagers who do talk like that! An enjoyable small budget film that will put a big smile on your face!
