The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Lions of Fifth Avenue in Books
Oct 5, 2020
4.5/5 stars.<br/>Not only does this novel tick most of my boxes, the setting of the New York Public Library was even more of a draw. Seriously, what avid reader doesn’t like reading books that take place in libraries and book stores, right?

*WHAT PEOPLE THINK* 5-Stars: "If you play guitar, it's practically a crime not to check this out!...
___ 3 'Creepy' Stars
I'm going to be totally honest here...if I was just rating Coraline then I probably would of given this book 5 Stars as I enjoyed that story very much. It was creepy, atmospheric, well written and I really liked the artwork. I adored the animated film but have only now gotten around to reading the story that inspired its making. I just knew I was going to love reading the original story.
What let this book down, in my opinion, was all of the other short stories that followed. I enjoyed maybe 2 other stories but when reading the rest I was looking forward to finally finishing the book. For this reason I had to knock off 2 stars...but Coraline really was great.

First half: 2 stars
Second half: 4 stars
Overall rating: 3 (and a quarter) stars, simply because of how exciting that second half was.<br/><br/>So it's taken me almost a month to read this. Which is ridiculous really, but this isn't my usual genre of book. I like my books to have romance/sex in them and there is a little but not enough to keep me interested in the book for just that.
The first half was a bit boring for me. It was going too slow, plodding along at it's own merry pace but then as soon as we get into the toad-demon and the shadowman and the storms, I was well dragged into the story.
I think I may just be interested enough to carry on with this series.

In honor of the 100th anniversary of the end of the first World War, I wanted to remind my readers of this book. Nine amazing historical fiction writers contributed to this beautiful collection of short stories about the end of World War I. Find out why I give this book a full five stars in my review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/08/21/nine-times-november-11-1918/

Rolling Stone's 245th greatest album of all time
Unsettling collection of songs from one of the stars of rock and roll. While his big hits are all here, there is a jarring change in style throughout the album as it includes some of his later country music releases. Not a great listen due to its inconsistency, it is hard to see how any fans of either style would be satisfied.
