BookCritics (259 KP) rated Lincoln in the Bardo in Books
May 16, 2017
Lincoln in the Bardo is an incredible first novel from a master of the short fiction format. The shared narration is reminiscent of a Greek chorus or a conversation, rendered on the page like the script of a play.
Critic- Melissa Ward
Original Score- 5 out of 5

J. L. Stowers (136 KP) rated Space Team: A Comedic Sci-Fi Adventure in Books
Apr 26, 2018
A laugh out loud science fiction adventure
I can't say enough about the first book in the Space Team series. It's a hoot. I really enjoyed the main character and the unexpected adventure he was sucked in to. Space Team is a really fun read if you're looking to unwind with some light-hearted laughter.
Highly recommended

Assassin Mark (2 KP) rated Sword and Scimitar in Books

A Brilliant Read
Aside from the romance and the fairly surprising twist this book is a brilliantly written historical fiction based around real life events, the main characters are interesting and the action is fantastically written, this is a book I have read several times and is still very much a page turner for me.

graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated The Tidal Poole (Elizabeth I, #2) in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Not the most plausible series, but it is entertaining and that's why it's called fiction. I did enjoy the first book better, but <i>The Tidal Poole</i> kept me reading and the mystery was well-done. If you're a history buff, better skip it, but if you enjoy reading just for the sake of reading, I recommend the series. :)

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2373 KP) rated Facing Your Giants in Books
Mar 9, 2018
A Christian non-fiction book that uses the life of David to encourage and challenge the reader to conquer the giants in their lives. Author Max Lucado is a master at making the obvious extraordinary. Just what I needed.

Truth or fiction??
Contains spoilers, click to show
Found this series very enjoyable - maybe a bit too close to possible reality. The main storyline is gripping, and so are the subplots. The ending made me wonder if Grace is likely to join forces with Hicks and Renko. Presuming - hoping - there will be a second series.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Hers to Protect in Books
Jun 9, 2018
I really liked the characters but I think a few could have been more developed. There was a definate flow to the story and a build to a climax. Some points it seemed too much like an action film but it is fiction. Overall it was an enjoyable face paced read. There may be some triggers when it comes to domestic abuse though.

Jake (52 KP) rated The Three-Body Problem in Books

Fun and unique. I enjoyed reading a book that had been written in another language initially, kind-of eye-opening. I like the premise, but it's a little slow at some points and at other points it seems a little... too technical. Often I got confused on which character was which. But worth checking out if you are into contemporary science fiction!!!
