Alison Pink (7 KP) rated Performance Anomalies in Books
Jan 15, 2018
Well after reading Performance Anomalies I'd have to say that Victor Robert Lee has created an interesting new male lead in the spy genre with his Cono character. Cono is gifted with lighting fast processing skills & reflexes which he uses to help out various international interests. You can't help but feel for Cono & his drifting life style. But I also found myself disliking him too...he seems to flit through life without laws. He is an interesting blend of personalities. I look forward to seeing how Lee decides to expand the character & the series.
Not your normal Dorothy
Good book, good read, women will like this book. Since I did not know, I will not spoil the surprise in it for anyone. This is not your average Dorothy, or Land of Oz. Quite a spin on it, or the underlying truth that is not so pretty to tell. Either way, a good read. Not enough either.

The storyline in general is very good and it stays true to real life when the scene is described as it's set primarily in Brighton, England. Peter James has a very good descriptive style with his work and it definitely shows with this story. (1 more)
This book is very gripping and it definitely keeps you engaged and wanting to read more.
Gripping As Usual

Ian McEwan is a genius
This book was so intriguing that I stopped many times while reading to embrace it all. Written in the perspective of a highly intelligent foetus, the storyteller narrates a dramatic Greek style plot in which he watches and feels his mother and uncle plot to kill his father. While obviously you have to suspend belief with the number of details the foetus is able to tell the reader given he's inside his mother, it is gripping right until the end. The prose is wonderfully fluid as per usual. Highly enjoyable.

Apr 10, 2018
A graphic novel alternative WWII history thriller, this has some disturbing elements which may not be for every reader, but do add to the realistic element that these things would have happened. This first part of the story takes its reader on a grand journey which leaves the reader wanting to continue in the next part to find out what will happen to its characters. I can easily see this as a blaxploitation-style film, the spies, hitmen and nazi give you a real idea of what to expect.

Extensive world building
Fast read
Extensive cast and amazing world building
This is an amazing book. From the first few pages you are drawn into the town of Castle Rock and greeted like an old friend. The entire style of writing is meant to make the reader feel comfortable while diving deep into the world of the characters and their lives. This is some of King's best work when it comes to character development and world building. Every character has a past to be explored and a personality to be discovered.

Originally, I wasn't ever going to complete this series. The first book was good, until my favorite character bit the dust. HOWEVER, I'm glad I did decide to read these because, well, the character comes back in an intriguing way.
There was much more action in this volume, and I was entertained the entire time. I was kind of sad when it ended so suddenly. I was glad that the author stuck with the epistolary style. I didn't mind the cliffhanger, since I've already got the third book from the library.

Obvious bangers like "thank u, next" and "7 Rings." (2 more)
There are plenty of remixes, and Mixes.
Very telling of style, while experimenting with new styles
A Fairly Balanced, but Far-reaching album
Being the proclaimed "Grounded-Pop-Queen", Ari brings a lot to the table for 2019; with the obvious bangers "thank u, next" and "7 Rings."There are plenty of remixes, and Mixes of several songs that will stimulate the club scenes for years to come, celebrating the young artist as the new Mariah Carey.

Cute love stort
I love anything by Tim Burton, but the music and story in this movie has me swooning everytime. I am all for a good love story, but it definitely was different than most love stories out there. I couldn't help but fall in love with it. Not to mention the music will have you choking up a bit with emotion. With Burton's animating style and wonderful way to tell a story, there is no way you can absolutely hate it.
