Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania in Books
Jan 12, 2018
[Eric Larson] does it again with [Dead Wake] by making non fiction read like fiction all the while providing a great amount of information. The research that he does before writing a book shows his deep passion fro the topics. In [Dead Wake] he informs the reader not only what is was like being on the Lusitania, but also the political intrigue that seemed to surround the voyage and it's demise.

Beautiful writing
Nuanced philosophical dilemma
Dynamic characters
Science meets Religion and has a two way conversation
Truly an incredible book, it is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for something new. The reconciliation of religion and science has never been so beautifully scifi.
As someone raised without religion, this was still an incredible read, and truly made me see the beauty in both hard science and faith.

Brilliant writing
Gets you hooked from episode 1
Damn...
Jason Bateman is just one of those actors I really enjoy watching and Ozark really shows him at his best. The show is a drama filled rollercoaster with a truly amazing cast. Well there are a few dragging bits to it I never found it all that hard to power through.

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!

Good premise
I had high hopes (ha) for this, but sadly I found it a little disappointing. It's a great individual idea for a story and it starts off well, I just found the plot dragging after a while and the ending was disappointing. Hope herself isnt tbe most endearing of characters either. Shame as the writing was very good, just the story itself doesn't live up to expectations.

I do think others will enjoy it if they are okay with not getting closure at the end. It’s one of those I classify under read it for the journey, not the destination, although I am sure even the ending will please folks who love lyrical writing.

Whatchareadin (174 KP) rated Fifty Shades Darker in Books
May 10, 2018
There is a part of me that is really drawn to these books. I think its the storyline itself. The writing on the other hand needs something. Between Ana, her inner goddess, and her subconscience, I was really starting to get sick of her. And I kept picturing Christian Grey like this <img src="http://www.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2010108/300.fifty.lc.110810.jpg">; whenever she called him Fifty!!

Fantastic young-adult adventure
In this book you follow Torak, a young boy, who develops an incredible relationship with a wolf pup. Together they go on an amazing adventure. Full of twists and turns. The author is extremely good at descriptive writing, as you read this you can really picture the scenes. This took me 2 days to read, that's how good it is.
