Rachel P (2 KP) rated Swimming Lessons in Books
Jan 4, 2018
This is definitely a book you can read in one day. The writing was beautiful and story was absolutely compelling! I woke up in the middle of the night after reading this novel and began analyzing the characters. I seriously can't express how much this novel stuck with me. This is a beautiful portrayal of a family and how past events have shaped each of them into who they are in present day.

I really enjoyed this - a little unrealistic but would love to see this happen in real life if only to show that 'old' people are not useless or boring and have dreams and aspirations as much as anyone else. I actually know a few people who would love to be in the characters shoes!
I liked the writing style and pace of the book and was very impressed on how well it was translated.

One of 'those' books that's completely transformative - WOW.
I think this book is astoundingly beautiful. The whole concept of writing from the POV of death was inspirational, and worked exceptionally well. It's a heartbreaking read, and I don't often say that about books. Even if you have no interest in reading about the war whatsoever, you'll still get something out of this. Trust me!

[Boonkie In The Community] has a very good story and message to tell. Unfortunately, the writing gets in the way. It is obvious that the author's first language is not English but that actually lends some validity to the voice. What is needed is a bit of copy editing and cleaning up of formatting. The story is one that deserves to be told and deserves to be told well with the authors true voice.
Ross (3284 KP) rated The Strain in Books

Fantastic addition to the vampire genre, with so much thought gone into the history, the biology and the infection. The disease/epidemic angle made this unique (as far as I'm aware) in this realm and added so much to the storyline.
It would be interesting to know how the book was written, whether Del Toro had the ideas and Hogan did the writing or if it was more of a joint effort. Still, incredible book.

Greg Kirkpatrick (52 KP) rated Achtung Baby by U2 in Music

Song Writing (2 more)
Production
Performance
No Such Thing As Too Much
Described as "the sound of four men chopping down the Joshua Tree," Achtung Baby combined cutting edge (excuse the pun) production with the personal and genuine performance that U2 are known for.
With five hit singles, some of the remaining songs only seem weak in comparison. On their own, album tracks like Acrobat and Love Is Blindness outshine a lot of songs that followed them.

BookCritics (259 KP) rated They Both Die At The End in Books
Sep 11, 2017
The writing style is lively and I couldn't stop reading. I was 90% finished with the book and I had to wait a couple of days to finish the last 10% because I got caught up with emotions and I just didn't want this story to end

Erika (17789 KP) rated Leia, Princess of Alderaan (Star Wars) in Books
Apr 16, 2018
Someone should have definitely put it out there that this novel would make the Last Jedi make a little more sense. This novel introduces Hondo, and Leia's first mission. Gray, once again, has Leia on point, and the filmmakers should have definitely consulted her before writing their own script.
Anyway, if you want to understand who Hondo actually is, and why she was so close to Leia, you should definitely give this a read.
