Book Rating

I really enjoy Tony Parsons' books as they have always excited me, kept me on tenterhooks and had me reading long into the night. Unfortunately, Who She Was, for me, is nowhere near on a par with his previous books which I am upset about.

It pains me to say this but I found the story boring, the plot tedious, the characters totally unlikeable or memorable and the twists just meh!

Now, this is my opinion only and I have seen lots of reviews that rate this very highly so please don't take my word for it ... you can't please everyone all of the time! I also won't let this blip put me off from reading more of Tony Parsons work in the future.

Thanks must go to the author, Random House UK, Cornerstone, Century and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Who She Was.

Kudos

David McK (3610 KP) rated Impact Winter Season 3 in Books

Oct 26, 2024 (Updated Oct 26, 2024)

Season 3 of Travis Beacham's audible-only 'Impact Winter' audio drama, which I found to be a bit of a let-down from the previous two instalment, particularly where it concerns what happened to Darcy at the end of the previous entry (I wish they had been braver for the story, I mean).

Anyway, for those not in the know: these are set in the near future, after a comet has hit Earth with the resultant explosion throwing up debris into the sky and blocking out the sun - perfect for the 'creatures of the night' (aka vampires) to come out of their long hiding.

I most definitely would NOT advise anyone to pick up the series here - this is definitely an entry where you need to have read (well, listened to) the proceeding entries in order in order to understand just what is going on!
