I absolutely loved the Stanley Kubrick movie that was developed in tandem with this book, but felt that the ending of the film left me wanting some clarification, and so I have finally gotten around to the book in hopes of receiving the explanations I wanted. Luckily, it provided them. It is a very deep, and somewhat surreal story, and it lacks some of the suspense that the movie manages to create around HAL, but the mystery of the obelisks is handled far better in the book and the ending makes exponentially more sense. A great story that is definitely worth a read, especially if one is even remotely into science fiction and/or theoretical physics.

I absolutely LOVE this show. I watched both seasons over a few days!!

Tom Kirkman is the Designated Survivor which means he is selected to sit out when the whole of the US government meets, so that in the unlikely event of a disaster someone is able to lead the country.

Unfortunately Tom is the least qualified person for the job of The President of the United States, however he has to step up and the series follows his life as he tries his best.

This show has everything: politics, drama, mystery, suspense, conspiracy and is just very gripping!!

Really recommend this series I feel like it probably has something everyone will enjoy.

Oh my days, I was so excited to read this book and it didn't disappoint! I loved the style of writing and I felt like we got to know all the characters, although a little slow in places I loved how it played out. I didn't guess the ending at all so that was a shock, although I feel it could have been a few chapters longer with possibly more explanation and a little bit more of a wrap up of everything, for this reason I think it should be a series! Not because I am sad it ended or anything *Sniff* *sniff* It is just a wonderful book full of mystery and suspense!

Y'all this story was epic!

It combined historical fiction, a mystery, suspense + a dash of oh so sweet romance!! I think this is one of my favorite books to read this year :) I think I read the whole book in one sitting.
I loved Lisa. Her character is well developed, she is strong and shows grace, and courage when faced with interesting circumstances. Plus, I loved the vivid descriptions that Regina Rudd Merrick used to describe Lisa and Nick and their plans for the renovation; It was like I was in the house and could envision it right along with them!

The setting in the old house, combined with the mystery left me so excited to (hopefully) read Del's story next! I highly recommend this story for the great characters, interesting twists I did not see coming and for making the smiles along the way. 5 out of 5 stars.
