Crushing and disappointing
DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU LOVE TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.

That being said, the reason why Harper Lee completely falls short in this novel is the fact that she destroys the heroic images of the characters that we have grown to love.

Without saying more, once again this novel is written in the perspective of Scout who is now a young woman and much more independent and vocal about the civil rights movement. She learns that everything she loved and respected is actually very different to what she imagined, pulling down heroes from their pedestals.

I'm totally scarred reading this.

Totally agree. This was really an unnecessary sequel, so disappointing.

Yes! I wonder why Harper Lee chose to release this, and after all these years! I love Atticus Finch, this was a horrific comedown.

I really enjoyed this book. There was just enough action and romance in it. A lot of people may say that they don't like it because it has nothing to do with Alice in Wonderland (which is one of my all time favorite books) but it is the subtle hints at the characters from Alice in Wonderland that make it awesome. It is not a remake of a classic, but an amazing telling of a story with characters who may have some of the same traits as the originals. Alice Bell is strong, independent, courageous and faithful, just like Alice from Caroll's book. I highly recommend this book.

Action/Adventure
Good story Decent graphics Non mind bending (0 more)
No AI interaction A little too short (0 more)
An open minded debut
Ether One is a first-person adventure game developed by British independent company White Paper Games. It was the studio's debut game and was originally released for Microsoft Windows on March 25, 2014. A PlayStation 4 edition was released on May 5, 2015.
 The fragility of the human mind is the subject of Ether One, a moving first-person adventure that subtly experiments with your feelings. Choose one of two paths through the world. One lets you play through the game at your own pace, unfolding a story free from puzzles or challenges.

My first real exposure to Independent Authors (IAs) was when I first joined Twitter. One of my first followers (and not sure why as I didn't know what direction I would take and wasn't really writing reviews properly) was the IA and great IA supporter Ben Galley.

Out of curiosity I read his first novel - The Written - and I was blown away by just how good it was, easily comparable to any traditionally published book I had read. I've never looked back and I would judge the overall quality of IA books to be higher than those of their much bigger budget (and cost) counterparts
