Very interesting, but complicated as audiobook
Listened on Audible.co.uk
You really need a lot of background information to make any sense of this. I feel this requires reading, scanning back and digesting the material because it's difficult to follow if you miss one small part. While it is important, I wish I had read this instead. Imagine listening to the Big Short. Very similar themes are raised, but including the tech side of how banks and investors manipulate the system.

This new one is kick ass. I was so excited when it was announced, couldn't wait for it to be released. Finally got to play it, although a lot of things changed it is an awesome game. The game makers did change the weapons and information set up to align more like Witcher 3 or Horizon Zero Dawn. It works great for the game. Kratos's attitude is the biggest change, he is actually kind of nice in this game. Overall awesome game!
Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Atlas of Dinosaur Adventures: Step Into a Prehistoric World in Books
Apr 10, 2018
Short and to the point, each pair of pages give an introduction to a dinosaur, Aimed at middle school due to the level of information the younger reader may find this a little bewildering, however, for the child that specialises in their dinosaur knowledge you may find it all too easy. Each to their own, look at it and decide. It's a well-illustrated and informative book with comical additions to engage the reader's interest and keep everything light and enjoyable.

This is a stand alone read but reading the first book gives you more information on the characters. The characters have an instant chemistry which is hot. You will fall in love with the characters and will be rooting for them as you read. This is a well written story which will keep you reading. I can't wait to read more from this series and from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

This was an interesting story. Different from my normal reads but entertaining enough to hold my attention. This one kept my emotions running in all sorts of directions. I was never sure what was going to happen next and it hit on a lot of yoga information. Either the author did a lot of research or really enjoys yoga because she seemed to know what she was talking about. It was a lot of fun to read and I enjoyed it
Sean Farrell (9 KP) rated The Hidden Reality: Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos in Books

This was an absolutely fascinating book, even if it felt like it was sometimes going over my head. I will advise anyone who doesn't have an especially good pre-existing grasp on theoretical physics to perhaps avoid reading the footnotes as you go along, as it can actually make some of the information harder to absorb. That being said, there is much to learn in these pages, and if nothing else, it will certainly leave you with a lot to think about.

I am a nerd for cli fi. This was a very well written and researched book but it told a story not just information overload. The characters were from different backgrounds and therefore had different perspectives on the events as they happened. The fact that politics, buisness, and science all were addressed in the book shows the author understands that events like this(even though fictional, for now) effect everyone. He had a very global perspective and the consequences were a bit frightening.
Inspiring, informative and easy to follow.
Christopher doesn't hold any punches, he gets right down to it with step by step instructions for each part of the process making it sound very easy to do. You would have thought that more people would do it. He doesn't however go into the fiction genre, he just goes through information books but the publishing process would still be the same.
Anybody even remotely interested in self publishing should read this book and follow its steps.

This book is hilarious as Lucy and Tennyson end up in each other’s bodies.
We get to know more about Tennyson and how he thinks and some answers about his personality and life.
We also get some more information on the over arching storyline and Lucy’s mysterious life. Obviously not everything is answered. There is also the potential development between Lucy and Tennyson which has been brewing since book one. However it could be a possible triangle with Sam involved as well.

This novel is outstanding! It is the second in a series but works just as well as a stand-alone since the author does a great job of giving the reader all the information needed without overwhelming the story. This exciting novel is everything an action thriller should be. It is fun, exciting, riveting and interesting. I can’t wait to read the next Joe the Bouncer book which I’m certain will be a page turner you can’t put down, just like this one.
