More of a 3.5 rating. I liked Cash, not so much Nash. Strange, I know, if you've read the book. I didn't quite understand Olivia's indecision between the two.
I haven't decided if I'm going to continue the series yet.

I could not put this book down as the world building and characters pulled me and held me. Though at times the plot did drag for me it did not deter my rating. This unique fantasy alternates between pov and I recommend it.

I was surpised in the way this was set up. Though I am not all for it. It was good. There some things that is relates to romance. I would not to be hard on the rating. I think it a four star rating. It could have been more of a plot. It does have some mystery to it. It is a good book. I enjoyed it. The way she lost her husband was something new.

Gaiman is very hit or miss for me. I've only really liked one book.
I really disliked Neverwhere when I first read it, it took me forever to get through, and I really liked the idea of the novel, just not the execution. But, yes, I am rating this an 8. The reason for this high of a rating is the BBC production of this book with James McAvoy. That radio adaption made me like it so much more, and I've now listened to it twice.
After this, I decided to only audiobook or get BBC productions of Gaiman's novels, but thus far, it's still been a bust.

I wish there was an option to give a 3.5 rating. I enjoyed the premise but not the writing. I will read the 2nd book to see if the writing improves.
Just because a story is YA doesn't mean it can't be well written. The story felt rushed.

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.

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!
