Katie Guinn (34 KP) rated The Good Girls (The Perfectionists, #2) in Books
Dec 7, 2018
It was really difficult for me to settle on a rating for this book, y'all. The twist was clever, granted, but I kind of figured it out in the first book. And I didn't think the writing dealt with it consistently. But it was a fast read, and I'm sure I'm older than the target audience, so maybe I'm not the best person to be judging.
BookInspector (124 KP) rated Reservoir 13 in Books

I think my rating of this book requires an explanation. I always finish the books I start, but could not with this one. There is nothing wrong with the book, Its just not for me. It felt like "smoothie" to me, you take ingredients and blend it all together, than ask someone to identify the ingredients used. I don't have enough patience for it :)

TIME Stories was a home run in my book. I’m going to be instantly picking up every expansion that is released for this game, which can’t come soon enough as far as I’m concerned!

<i>Many thanks for the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review</i>
Actual rating 3.5 stars
A good collection of science fiction with some really interesting concepts. I preferred His Master's Voice and the twitter Micro fiction from the collection.

ALL. THE. FEELS!!
This is hands down the best book I have read so far this year, maybe ever. I absolutely LOVE it. Literally got me in all the feels. The author's storytelling ability is amazing. There's so much I could say about this book (I have posted reviews in several places already lol) but I encourage everyone to read it for themselves, it really is just that damn good.
Side note: For those who check out book ratings and reviews on Goodreads before making a decision to read a book (like me lol) please do NOT let the rating fool you. Read the reviews and you will see that most have loved the book. There's been a bit of controversy surrounding the material and one certain blogger's negative review instructed her minions to give it a low rating based on her opinion alone, without actually reading the book themselves. So please don't let that affect your choice to read it!

Fruit Bat (42 KP) rated Bodysnatchers: Digging Up the Untold Stories of Britain S Resurrection Men in Books
Mar 1, 2018
Bodysnatchers' by Suzie Lennox and it's turning into one of these books I just can't put down. It's amazing reading about the lengths these men and women went to, to obtain bodies. As I continue to read through the book I have become totally amazed by how business like the whole affair was.The book was well written and highly researched which can be seen throughout.
The book deserves a five star rating and I will definitely be reading more of the author's books

The Bandersnatch (199 KP) rated Haunted London Underground in Books
Nov 7, 2019
I love Haunted London Underground just likes its fellow book Haunted London because it covers a good branch of history and paranormal events over the underground. I recommend this book to everyone who loves history and paranormal and I give this book a rating of 8/10.
I respect the Authors David Brandon and Alan Brooke for their dedication to the research of each underground station and ghost stories tied to them and putting the information in a coherent way of reading it.

Question
So this weeks topic is; Books That Were Better Than The Movies!
We want to know about any books with a rating of 8 or more that had movies that were based on the book, that score below 7.
For example; Divergent by Veronica Roth is rated 8.1 but the Movie is only rated 6.5.

Jennerz (8 KP) rated Five Feet Apart in Books
Mar 3, 2019
Not as predictable as first thought
This book was good for what it was, a love story of two teenagers fighting for their lives. Although i truely loved the book and will most likely also see the movie, i cant help but to think that the book lacked something, i eagerly awaited something spectacular and it had me longing. Maybe more depth to the characters? Not sure. Either way, i believe im a hard critic and to give it an 8 rating is still an achievement.
