Oh...Okay
I enjoyed her writing style a lot. I enjoyed the way things were explained and drawn out, and I really enjoyed the premise. What I didn't like, and what ruined the reading experience for me, was how much I hated the main character. She kept whining. It was frustrating to me. I ended up not finishing the series.

Emotionally Charged
Damn, this was simply a lovely story full of love, sadness, and redemption. While reading Zoey’s story I found myself crying, laughing and even wondering if I myself would be filled with the same kind of jealousy that Zoey experienced throughout the storyline. The author’s writing style pulls you in right from the start with beautiful characters and thought-provoking lines. I highly recommend this emotionally charged read.

I may not have fallen in love with the characters of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but I was mesmerized by the story. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer capable of weaving a multifaceted tale. I loved her writing style

As soon as I started reading, I wanted to stay. In fact, I knew this book would get five stars from me on chapter six. Not much had happened yet, but I was already in love with Emily R. King’s writing style. It’s effortless, but vivid

A normal story with an interesting King spin
This starts off this starts off as a normal and interesting tale of a wife escaping her abusive husband, but in true King style, it goes completely off the scale with its supernatural twist. In all honesty, I found some of the supernatural side a little too bonkers, but it is still an enjoyable read, albeit maybe a bit on the long side.

Complex classic film noir style
This is a classic. Most people will probably know the Humphrey Bogart big screen version but Raymond Chandler was clearly the original. Gritty, dark and twisted - unusual for its time - he broke boundaries with some of the themes described. As brilliant as it is written, the plot at times gets too complicated and if you're not concentrating, you'll end up missing important clues.

Writing Style
One of my favourite books
Honestly this has been one of my favourite books of all time ever since I first read it. It's one of the most battered books on my shelf because I constantly read it and re-read it! So many emotions in all one go & I just can't put it down. Spoiler alert though: prepare to be heartbroken at the end!

Great MMO, Terrible playerbase
I really liked this game when it first released years ago. I was one of the first players on my server to get a mount. However what ruined this game for me was the playerbase. I just couldn't stand it. I left shortly after the first expansion came out. Although I would go back in a heartbeat if they would make Ogre's playable.

Transcripted‘s unexpected blend of shoot-em-ups and Zuma-style match three gameplay makes for one of the most refreshing and addictive experiences of the year, with the perfect mix of casual simplicity and hardcore depth.

humour can be subjective, what one person finds amusing another with find side-splittingly hilarious, some of the exchanges between the siblings Pico and Anna are amusing, others I can see they are meant to be but can't find the giggle inside. The illustrations are okay but colourful, the style is somewhat an acquired taste. Overall, I enjoyed the read but would be unlikely to reread in the future.
