Okay I find Adele really hard to rate probably one of the hardest for me personally because on one side she has an absolutely amazing voice and as a person I think she is wonderful but on the other side when it comes down to it I have a really hard time relating to her music and because radio and every other source of media tend to play her music out so bloody fast I just don't really enjoy her actual music.

After listening to this album I'm still not a fan of her actual music even though she is seriously talented.

Not your typical war story
The characters in this book are rich, interesting, and wily. I say wily because at points in the book you hate them, but then they change, and you grow to love them. This story really makes you think about people differently. It's written with great subtlety and almost lyrically - very beautiful, poetic and quotable in places.
If you want a fast read, this book is not for you. If you only like happy endings this book is not for you. If you don't like experimental fiction, this book is not for you.

Life’s Captivity is inspirational and encouraging. The writing is lyric and rhythmic, and the pacing is relaxed enough to be calm, but fast enough to keep you interested. It is very comforting and uplifting, and a beautiful picture of how Christ works in our lives to make us more beautiful, to bring the lost to Him, and to glorify Himself.
Content: There was some language in certain parts of the book, because of the character who was speaking. I found it appropriate for the situation.
Recommendation: Ages 14+

Historical yet up to date
This is probably one of my all-time favorite Stephen King books. It has a focus on history without feeling like a documentary. The characters feel very "real" and it's easy to become attached to what is happening in their lives. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys playing games of "what-if" when it comes to major events in history. Questioning how things could have gone differently is a fun way to look back through the lives of these characters.

Fast, funny, absurd, and thoroughly enjoyable, Charlie All Night is a fun-filled romp filled with great characters! This is my first Jennifer Crusie book and I can't wait to read more from her, especially since I've heard her newer books are even better. While the bit of mystery isn't real strong, Ms. Crusie's flowing plot and zany characterizations are wonderful, and more than make up for it. In some ways, this book reminds me of early Janet Evanovich romances, although Jennifer Crusie's have a more timeless feel to them. A very nice, light read to curl up with. :)

fantastic read
This is the first book I've read from this author and I was really surprised, what a good read. This is a very interesting read. This is a fast paced story which will have you hooked from the first page. This is a very suspenseful, thrilling read, with lots of drama throughout. The characters were really well written and amazing. This book has a cliff hanger ending so be warned. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended

I am not usually a fan of anything history based but this book blew me away. In a read it in one sitting as fast as you can to find out what happens. The enemies to lovers added into a well thought out plot based on an actual time and person in the best of ways.
If you enjoy a tale filled with not just redemption but also pain, longing, and a universal acknowledgement that some things are your fault but growth can be had than this book is for you. Part romance but all heart.
