I really wanted to like this book but it just wasn't there. The concept was good and there were glimmers of great character development but it seemed to much like "World War Z" and "I Am Legend", the movie versions which were not that good. Also the structure of the writing was more ADD than me....KITTY!...Oh, sorry but proves my point. With more structure and personality this books would have been much more enjoyable.

I didn't really care for this book. From the very beginning there were so many character presented that it was incredibly hard to keep them all straight. They were either all related, in business together, or sleeping with each other. The writing itself was good, but it just seemed like the author was trying too hard. The mystery in the book fell flat.
All in all it was okay, but not an author I would seek out again.

Incredibly creative and disturbing look at transformation
Han Kang is an absolute gem in terms of creative writing and The Vegetarian does not disappoint. It's difficult to explain without completely spoiling the plot but it consists of a woman becoming vegetarian and her subsequent 'transformation'.

The beautiful imagery and the graphic details about mental health is unique, and at times the insanity of the novel resembles Kafka's Metamorphosis. It is definitely in that league of magical realism.

This book is over 300 pages but the writing is awesome so you won't mind! The book is well written and you will adore the characters. This book is unlike anything I have ever read. It is about teenagers playing MMORPG, lightening strikes and they wind up in the game. It is full of adventure, and twists and turns. I can't wait for book 2. I am giving a voluntary, honest review of an ARC from NetGalley.

Plot holes
This book follows the story of survivors of what appears to be a major terrorist attack. It's suspenseful but sometimes feels forced. It's not something I think i will ever pick up again but it's an enjoyable enough read for someone who is a fan of Stephen King. There are many elements to the story that make it clear that this book fits well within the standard "King" writing style.

Another amazing novel from this best selling author. Scottoline has once again taken amazingly chiseled characters and whipped up a plot line that will suck you in, turn you inside out, and make you want more. This is beyond 5 stars worthy but I can only give it 5 on here so that's what I will do. It is definitely one you don't want to miss! Grab it now and fall in love with Scottoline's phenomenal writing style.

The live action Kim Possible (2019) ends up more two-dimensional than the animated original
There’s none of the wit of the cartoon in the writing or characterisation and it falls awkwardly between trying to introduce the property to a new audience while honouring the source material. In doing so, it rewrites the origins of several characters, eliminates others and presents a story that undermines its title character in favour of a new one...
