Erika (17789 KP) rated Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, #1) in Books
Jul 26, 2020 (Updated Jul 26, 2020)
I absolutely loved this novel, I'm not a huge fan of Lincoln, and it kind of made me like him more. The way Grahame-Smith wrote this was intriguing, and I really loved all of the characters. It's fast-paced, and it holds up when re-read.

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated The Murder House in Books
Apr 27, 2018
As far as the book itself, there were good things and bad things. Some of the good things included the rollercoaster mentioned above of feeling like patterson was just messing with my head, the fact that the characters were so clearly defined and constructed, and the plot itself.
Some of the not so good things included the violent descriptive murder scenes (which is one of the reasons I didn’t continue with the Alex Cross series. I quit after Kiss the Girls.). I understand those scenes were in there to make me hate the bad guy and desperately want him to get caught and go to jail, but I also wasn’t happy with how descriptive it was.
There was also a lot of overdramatic moments between some of the characters that made me want to roll my eyes, even in the heat of a very serious moment.
Lastly, Patterson is great at writing violence and murder, but not so great at writing subtley-blossoming romance between two unlikely characters. It felt awkward.
Overall I have mixed feelings about The Murder House. It was an excellent story, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who can’t handle a good murder scene. The writing isn’t phenomenal, but I also enjoyed 85% of my time spent listening to it. So make your judgement on how you tend to respond to violence and gore, and let me know what your face ends up looking like.
