Nutshell

Book Rating

Ian McEwan is a genius

This book was so intriguing that I stopped many times while reading to embrace it all. Written in the perspective of a highly intelligent foetus, the storyteller narrates a dramatic Greek style plot in which he watches and feels his mother and uncle plot to kill his father. While obviously you have to suspend belief with the number of details the foetus is able to tell the reader given he's inside his mother, it is gripping right until the end. The prose is wonderfully fluid as per usual. Highly enjoyable.

I can't read maps (0 more)

I LOVE it!!!!!

I havent finished it yet, i want to take my time and enjoy every minute of it. It's full of Greek mythology, major bonus for me, and an rich storyline. My character has a personality! Everything about it feels beautiful and a joy to play. I still cant read maps, so finding things for me can be a bit tricky. However, there the handy feature to help you find quest goals and Ikaros to guide your way. BEST ASSASSINS CREED EVER!!!!

Sue (5 KP) rated Hungry Girl 1-2-3: The Easiest, Most Delicious, Guilt-Free Recipes on the Planet in Books

Aug 13, 2018

HG 1-2-3 is one of the easiest cooking cookbooks around. Simply delicious recipes that are low in calories, high in fiber, and Weight Watcher friendly. This is a great companion to other HG cookbooks and HG newsletter recipes. Add this to your cookbook collection and you won't regret it. It will become one of the most used and well-worn cookbooks in your collection. You are going to love the pizza-fied chicken, stuffed chick cordon bleu (my favorite), bacon ranch broccoli slaw, and greek chicken salad.

Myth meets contemporary

What a unexpected read this was. In fairness, I didn’t have a lot of preconceptions, considering my last encounter with Diana Prince was the very old series years ago. It was a exciting read, packed full of action with a great Greek mythological context and background. I didn’t expect the contemporary setting for some reason but it worked really well. I enjoyed seeing Leigh Bardugo’s words set in the contemporary world. The diverse characters were both fun and real. I could really read more from this world and these characters.

EmersonRose (320 KP) rated The Throne of Fire (Kane Chronicles #2) in Books

Nov 20, 2019

It took me a while to get started on the Kane Chronicles after reading both Percy Jackson series, and although I have been enjoying it, I have been reading it very slowly. Egyptian myth was something I really enjoyed studying in school, and like the Greek myth books, Riordan has done an excellent job of combining research with originality. The books are fun, and I like the sibling main characters. I will be continuing the series soon and hopefully, it won’t take me so long to read the next one.
