Amazing..I am never sure what to expect in these books because the first one was slower...but they aren't disappointing me. Found out so much more but still soo much needs answered. I'm hoping she does that in the next one. Also hoping for some personal thoughts to happen..o spoilers here lol. I can't wait to read the next one

I've now read this book twice in the course of 2-3 months, which is something I never do. The second time around I found it just as hard to put down. I can't wait until the next book to see if this story remains as engaging. This book is my favorite read of the past year or two by far.

Darkwing teams up with his old nemesis Steelbeak to take down F.O.W.L. Or is it a trap? I found one part of the climax very out of place, even for Darkwing, but overall I enjoyed the next chapter in the comic series.

Ashleigh and Brad get involved when one of their neighbors is found dead. Was it a hunting accident or murder? There was very little teddy bear connection in this book, but I still absolutely loved it. The characters and humor are outstanding.

Blind mechanic Cadence Moran is walking home from work one night when she "witnesses" a murder. Trying to help the police only attracts the killer's attention. I found the story frustratingly slow for a thriller and the ending completely unbelievable.

I found this to be an interesting and balance biography of Walt Disney. The author played media critic a bit too much, which bothered me, but in the end I walked away with a clearer picture of a true American success story.

I picked up this book as a film version is coming out and I must admit, I'll probably watch it at some point. The love story itself for this novel is serviceable, but I could predict the entire plot within the first 20 pages and, at times, actually found myself cringing and rolling my eyes as I was reading certain lines. Not fun.

Great characterisations...love Hicks and Renko (0 more)
Enjoyed it too much to nitpick (0 more)
Truth or fiction??
Contains spoilers, click to show
Found this series very enjoyable - maybe a bit too close to possible reality. The main storyline is gripping, and so are the subplots. The ending made me wonder if Grace is likely to join forces with Hicks and Renko. Presuming - hoping - there will be a second series.

Started off kind of with mixed feelings. I was somewhat drawn into the story, but found the author's use of "young-sounding" words to be a bit forced. After the first couple chapters however I was either so hooked I was able to ignore that, or he stopped doing it. Either way, wound up being a dark but enjoyable little book.

I am not one really for fight type films, yet with saying that I found Gladiator a very enjoyable film . One of Russel Crow's better films. At the time of watching this movie I was a big fan of Joaquin Phoenix . Enjoyed Russel's character as well as the other actors characters and have watched this movie a number of times.
