Mar 9, 2018
Aging Hollywood star Polly Pepper finds the road to a comeback is dangerous when she steps into a role that lead to two murders on a movie set. Filled with Hollywood gossip and over the top characters, it's a fun debut that suffers from some rough writing.

Kristy H (1252 KP) rated The Commission: A Sam Kincaid Mystery in Books

The story in this novel managed to capture my attention fairly well (even if I did figure out a good portion of the plot early on), but the writing was rather painful. The author left nothing to the imagination or inference, but spelled every single plot point, emotion, and thought out. I found myself rolling my eyes fairly often... but still curious as to what would happen next.

the writing is outstanding (1 more)
The premise (gods walking among us)
A little confusing, but that is the point. Made into a showtime TV show
I really enjoyed this book, but since I read it, I have forgotten almost all of it. Amazing how that can happen. The TV show brought some of it back, but even then it's still ost in my ether, kinda like these god were meant to be.

I enjoyed reading Elizabeth Bishop's poems. She writes simply, but it is still beautiful. I enjoyed how much she varies in her writings instead of just writing the same thing over and over again. One of my favorite poems was "Crusoe in England" because it took the story of Robinson Crusoe and showed what Crusoe was feeling after he returned from the island.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this book of poetry.

<i>So. Many. Short. Stories.</i>
Sometimes these kinds of weird, old school, random books really hook me, but I can't explain why. This is one of them. This story has the most simple of plot lines, yet it does so well to inflict fear and excitement into the reader.
I loved the writing. I loved the tension. I loved the plot. I loved the psychopath. I loved the ending.

IsnÂ’t fiction such an amazing thing? That you can read a 10 page piece of writing that draws you in and chills you to the boneÂ… incredible.
This one is instantly unsettling, and maybe itÂ’s not the most unpredictable ending in the world, but itÂ’s done in such an amazing way that youÂ’ll feel the goosebumps rise on your arms.
An excellent little horror story.

Another miss for me, maybe I just flat out don't like Gaiman's writing. I thought this novel was boring, and I listened to the audiobook. I know Gaiman narrated the audiobook, but his voice got so whiny, I almost didn't finish it. Sadly, I did, and I'm glad I was just driving listening to it, and not wasting my free time.
Sorry, not sorry about the low rating.

So, I finally can say that I finished the series. I have to say, I was unimpressed with the last two in the Divergent series so I didn't have high hopes for this one.
I surprisingly liked this book. I forgot how much I liked Four & it was interesting to learn more about him as a character. The writing was good and I enjoyed listening to this as an audiobook.

Amazing Courtroom Drama
This is the movie that introduced me to the genre that is the courtroom drama. This movie speaks to a lot of issues as well as being extremely well thought out. Tom Cruise really shines in his role in this movie and is especially good in the final act of the film. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who is a movie buff.
