Hazel (2934 KP) rated Three Sisters in Books
Jan 12, 2018
Thank you to the author for send me a copy of this book in return for an honest review - this in no way influenced my review as you will see.
I had absolutely no expectations with this book having never heard of the author or of the main character, Emily, but have to say that I was a little disappointed especially having seen the many 4 and 5 star reviews it has received.

Contains spoilers, click to show
The first three-quarters of this book was brilliant. The scenes were set perfectly, the suspense was building to crazy proportions and my heart was racing at times. The book was let down by it's ending and the introduction of Vic. I wanted there to be a twist, the first one, where we learn of the relationship between Ashley and Mark was good and unexpected, but the second one, the addition of Vic, was poor and ineffective. A pretty good book overall but could've been better.
Solid gold
I've been listening to this soundtrack for the last three months. These songs struck a chord with me since I heard "This is me" in the first trailer. Though I bought it knowing only one song, I was not disappointed. Each song is unique and positively catchy. It was enough, on its own, to prompt me to pre-order the film in 4k Blu-ray without having seen it yet.

Good not great
The format keeps this book from being great. First person present tense, again, is terrible. But in this book it is compounded by the fact that we read from 3 people's POV. "I" means three people, depending on the chapter. That was immersion breaking and holds the book back from greatness.
Otherwise, I loved the story, the characters, the magic. It was very good, and felt shorter than it was. It read fast, it was never dull. I'd recommend this book to anyone.

The second book in Donald Jack's Bandy papers series, this is the novel that convinced me to read more of his works.
Set during the last year of the First World War (1914 - 1918), I have to say I found this book to be funnier than both the later installments in the series, and than the previous entry ("Three Cheers For Me"): indeed, this book was the cause of me getting some funny looks when I burst out laughing in work one lunch-time ...

Up there with the rest 9/10
For someone who has only ever watched the first three star wars movies from way back when and never seen any of the new ones, watching this was a first for me. But after getting some info that may be needed to watch this film from my husband I actually really enjoyed this film.
I love films that show the back stories of characters and I feel this did it really well.
May watch again some time soon.

Lots of looting opportunity
Replayable
This game is a must-buy for anyone who enjoys action-adventure games. It is the same game we all love from the first three entries in the series, yet with many updates (including the new leveling system, and social system). The new leveling system drives you to want to make good progress more quickly, and the new social system gives players rewards for sticking with a particular weapon, for example. Overall, a very good game.
