Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Ultraviolet (Ultraviolet, #1) in Books

Sep 5, 2019

2.5 stars.

Hmm...well this started very slow and made me more aware of the fact that I'm not a fan of books that take place in mental hospitals/institutes.

It took a long time to get anywhere and I was on the verge of giving up when Faraday appeared and I started to get excited, thinking the story would pick up and get on with it. Unfortunately, we stayed in the mental hospital for another good portion of the book and we went through what synesthesia is, which I admit is very interesting, but didn't give much away with the plotline and where it was going. It was about 150 pages from the end when it started getting good and from there I more or less devoured it, only for it to turn rather sci-fi-y. I like sci-fi sometimes but not in this. I kinda felt let down.

I don't think I'll be reading the next book in the series.

A Psychological Mindf*ck

I was worried when I first started watching this show. I've seen so many TV shows labeled 'thriller' that just doesnt hold up to my expectations and I find myself neither afraid or thrilled. For the most part I find myself disappointed.
However, I could not look away for a single moment during this show. The twists and backstorys that unfold are not only thrilling but sends shivers down my spine. The whole show I found myself at the edge of my seat as it takes you deeper and deeper into the mind and past of this single character. I find myself almost adoring the way it would send shivers down my spine and raise goosebumps along my arm. For anyone who enjoys a psychological thriller and are looking for a TV show that can actually hit the mark, I reccomended giving this show a try.
