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

Nov 14, 2018

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.

Good not great

The format keeps this book from being great. First person present tense, again, is terrible. But in this book it is compounded by the fact that we read from 3 people's POV. "I" means three people, depending on the chapter. That was immersion breaking and holds the book back from greatness.

Otherwise, I loved the story, the characters, the magic. It was very good, and felt shorter than it was. It read fast, it was never dull. I'd recommend this book to anyone.

Too many characters

Good for a Christmas mystery

For a Christmas genre novel this was great but in general it's just okay. It has not too much to do with Christmas and there is a solid mystery story that is intriguing. There are so many characters in such a short novel and I found it easy to get a little lost but the story isn't too complicated either. It's an easy one or two sitting read.

Dangerous game I'm.playing

Reviewing the knot after one listen
I remember kerrang calling the unknown band the white wu tang clan, following by them or metal hammer destroying my mind worth the inclusion of eyelets on their cover CD. Seriously
Fast forward to the 42 year old now who sees past the theatrics but since verse 3 loves the band as the anthemic heavy grinders they are.
After first listen o think this CD is meandering cheap...but I'll be back lol

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated My Irish Kings (Quick & Dirty, #2) in Books

Jan 20, 2019

fab read

This is the second book in this series by this author. This is a fast paced story with added hot and steamy parts. I loved the characters, the author manages to create such different personalities and fits them into the storyline really well. This is a fun and enjoyable read with the added mafia drama element. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Highly recommended read

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book

Incredible story telling (2 more)

Fast paced action

Very clever twists

The final instalment of the Decaying Days trilogy is even better than book 1 and 2 (if that is even possible!) The highs are higher the low are lower, the rollercoaster ride is more intense with twists and turns, and the end...well, see for yourself. There are tears, there is staring off into space as you process what just happened and ultimately it’s a little sad to put the book down.
This trilogy is highly recommended.
