Rachel Maria Berney (114 KP) rated Rage in Books

Keeps you on the edge of your seat
This is another one of King's great short stories, up there with The Long Walk. A very insightful psychological thriller, that has, at some points in time, been banned from book shelves. It is one of the stories in the Bachman Books, one that is always well remembered, probably because of the effect reading it has on you.
King delves into the mind of a high school shooter, it's violent and graphic, it is not tasteless. As Bachman King did some of his best writing.

Irene M (130 KP) rated And I Thought Divorce Was Bad: With Other Life Lessons in Books
Dec 7, 2018
I received this book for free for an honest review.
A collection of poetry, words of wisdom and short stories, all surrounding the subject of a relationship gone wrong, and through the healing process. After a short prologue poem the first item of prose is called “A Shiner” … a hard hitter in more way that one.
There was one or two small grammatical things I saw, but that's just me being a bit picky as it was not enough to take away from the heart-string pulling writing.
Well worth a read

This is the first book in this series by these authors. These two writers have made an outstanding book. This story and writing just blew me away. This is a gripping read, you won't want to put it down.the characters were well written and had fantastic chemistry between them. This is a fantastic start to the series. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Character development
Wonderful book
I see that a lot of people are confused by the ending don't let it put you off the story is lovely and heart warming and teaches an important lesson that we're never as weak and powerless as we think we are.
It was certainly a strange novel to read but that only made it more interesting even though for me it was a step outside my usual comfort zone.
The characters are well fleshed out and developed well through out the story line.

I really have a hard time putting into words how I feel about this book...it was certainly confusing at the beginning and I ended up having to reread certain passage over numerous times for me to understand where things were currently and where they were progressing to. It's one of the, if not the, most complex written books and the author definitely has an incredible unique reading style. I would highly suggest putting a serious chunk of time away to be able to concentrate on the writing and what is actually being said.

So I usually really like reading Discworld books and I usually love Rincewind stories, but this book was a bit of a bust, I struggled to read it because it was, for me, really slow paced. I really like Conina, she was an excellent character and of course I liked the Luggage, cause who doesn't?
The other two characters I wasn't very keen on, they kind of bored me. Coin was a really good character and the ending was amazing with Rincewind being brave for once!

Dialogue
Oh My Christ...
oh oh my word!!! The trailer for this show made me want to hurl BUT I am not one to pre judge so I knew this show had to be given at least 3 episodes.
I wish I hadn’t bothered, aside from Ruby Rose actually making some awful ham fisted dialogue work for well I can’t say to many good things.
A big mid fire for me and I won’t be continuing but I am glad to see more DC shows getting an audience on TV

I am little late, to put it mildly, with reading this book but better late than never I always say!
What a good read and one I'm pleased I didn't miss. Full of twists and turns, excellent characters, gripping story and a great writing style this is a great debut and one I would recommend to the few people out there who, like me, are a bit late joining the party!
Thanks go to Little, Brown Book Group UK via NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review.

I received a copy of Murder From Scratch from Netgalley and the publisher.
I really enjoyed this book. My main issue is that all the food talk made me so hungry and as "issues" go that's not bad at all!
I really appreciate the writing of Evelyn. She's actually written as an adult with interests and not as a tall child who brings light to able-bodied folx.
I liked the mystery a lot. The way it was set up as an "obvious" suicide but a family member knows what's up? Definitely my thing!
