Not the ending I was hoping for
Knew I would be hooked when I saw "From the makers of Line Of Duty"
Contains spoilers, click to show
I like how the show addresses an important fact that in reality it's very easy these days for people to influence others with the use of the internet/social media.
When I saw the trailer for this series I thought it was just going to be another typical kidnap style show but I like the fact that Lennie James' character is actually arrested on suspicion of kidnapping his own daughter who he hasn't seen in over 10 years, and eventually becomes the character who does the most to try and find his daughter.
The ending was not what I was expecting and could probably have been worked differently but I appreciate they have set it up for another series.

Christine A. (965 KP) rated Old Man's War (Old Man's War, #1) in Books
Nov 14, 2018
If I hadn't read this for a book club I would have stopped reading it. Of course, now that I finished it, I have to read the next in the series.
In actuality, the book took me less than 4 hours to read. It just took 8 days to finish those 4 hours.
There wasn't anything wrong with the book. I just wasn't connected to the characters. I would have liked the whole Old Farts club to have been a major part of the book.
Edit - I just read someone's review of the series comparing it to the movie "Avitar". I wasn't a fan of the movie so, with the similarities, it would make sense I'm not overly enthusiastic about the book. If you get a chance, read the review of the 2nd book that describes an elevator ride between James Cameron and John Scalzi. I liked it more than Avitar.

Veronica Pena (690 KP) rated Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian in Books
Jan 6, 2020 (Updated Jan 12, 2020)
It's interesting to me that I liked this book so much more than Fifty Shades. Partially because I think that Christian is a far more interesting character than Ana - he has much more of a backstory. Maybe it's because I relate to him in a lot of ways. I've read reviews that think this wasn't a good book in any regard, that E.L. James clearly doesn't know how to write as if she were a man, and I disagree. I know a Christian-like man and reading this novel, it was like being in his head too.
However, I have the same issue that I had with Fifty Shades in the dialogue. I do not know a single American that says, "I'm going to have a shower." I'm not sure why that infuriates me so much, but alas, it does. I am anxious to read Darker and the next Fifty Shades.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Epilogue (The Dark Duet, #3) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
Hmm...I liked how Caleb "wrote" it as if talking out loud and directly to us at certain points of the story. And it was nice to see how he changed and began to fit in with society instead of being a reclusive so-and-so.
I have to admit I got a bit fed up of all the sex involved in it. I think it's because I got used to the darker bits of the previous two mixed in with a captivating storyline, while this was more just based on their getting over what they'd been through.
Nevertheless it was a good story and I liked it; that alternative ending made me smile. Or maybe it's just the new Caleb/James :D

Merissa (14046 KP) rated In Due Time (Time #2) in Books
Jun 19, 2023
IN DUE TIME is the second book in the Times series and we continue with Tatum as she tries to sort out the world and its problems! You probably could read this as a standalone but I think it is definitely worth reading book one first as it will give you smaller details that help make this story so good.
This book helps to bring further elements of the paranormal world into the story, including human shapeshifters, vampires, and witches. Leo acts like a jerk but claims ignorance (pfft, I sort of get it, but still…) Oliver also finds his true mate (which I loved) and James and Nat have rocky times (because James lost his path.) As much as Tatum sorts something out, something else comes along to cause her worry and stress. We also find out more about Tatum and her past, and her connection with Oliver's true mate, which was great! Can I just add, I loved the bit with Lexly!
A thoroughly enjoyable addition to the series and I look forward to reading Adina's story.
Definitely recommended by me.
