Brilliant novel, slightly confusing to read on my kindle app on my phone as there was no way to distinguish between the two chapters - it took me a while to understand what was happening! But I absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend it - along with most other John Green books!

Silently haunting
A beautiful novel depicting a Jesuit priest who questions his faith after landing in Japan during the 17th century. It is a story with many temptations and plot twists set to test the priest to his limit. All around him, Christians fall to apostasy. A simple, yet touching tale.

Odd gothic thriller
The last part was the best part of this entire novel. Incredibly slow to start and for a very long time the religious subplot seemed pointless. There's also a lot of holes in the story like what happened to the baby's mother? Feel like it's been overhyped.

Another great Discworld story
Terry Pratchett does it again with yet another great Discworld novel. Although the main protagonist Esk can be a little grating at times, Equal Rites introduces a fantastic character in Granny Weatherwax and tells an age old familiar story of men versus women, with a fantasy spin.

Finally a real novel as we watch Garibaldi and Bester play cat and mouse in a book set after the series ends. Drama, suspense, and real character development. A great read.

I didn't think I would enjoy this novel as much as I did. The alternating speakers gave a really cool way of storytelling. Though the main characters share the same name, they couldn't be more different. This is a really cool story about life as a teenager. I highly recommend it.

This book was so many different dramatic stories all rolled into one. Kim Pritekel did an amazing job intertwining all the different plot lines into one incredible stong novel. The characters where well developed and did not over power the overall plot or each other. It was a well woven tapestry.
