I liked this one better then the first one, can't wait to read the next one. They are so entertaining.. some of the writing isn't the best but they are steamy and i enjoy the plot :)

The first chapter was amazing, and registered nicely on my creepy scale. The rest of it was nice, but I didn't think it quite measured up to the glorious writing that made up that first chapter.

The writing is superb, had me giggling a lot. The serious sides are sad but the antics of the boys during this war had me going. If you watched MASH then this is for you.

Loved this book, can’t wait to read her next. I love that instead of just two different character perspectives we got to see it from all nine and see their stories before and after.

Wow. What a film. Just everything is good about it. Good writing, good directing, good acting, good editing. I love this movie and it will be one that I come back to over and over again.
  

"Say Nothing is written like the most gripping of novels. Patrick Radden Keefe brings the tragedies of The Troubles in Northern Ireland to life in this brilliant piece of investigative writing. Heartbreaking, eloquent, shattering, lingering, illuminating."

This is a reasonably compelling novel with an interesting premise and intriguing characters. Yet, I found the writing style somewhat pretentious and the outcome of the plot somewhat disturbing. Not an enjoyable read on the whole.

"My first introduction to Roxane Gay’s writing — it changed me. I saw myself eerily and perfectly reflected on the pages of her harrowing debut novel. I finally felt understood as I sat frozen reading this book."

This book had a really good idea for a story line. Ultimately I did enjoy it, however i will not be continuing with the series as i think the writing is aimed at a younger audience.
