Alexandra Daykin (1 KP) rated Fatherland in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I found the book both gripping and chilling.
The plot draws you in and you see through the eyes of the main charecter, Xavier March, how a corrupt society has grown and encompassed everything and everyone. You can feel the suffocating effect that the state has produced among it's citizens with the underlying fear leading to complience and all too frighteningly you can imagine how easily this can occur.
The end is disturbing, brutal and produces the perfect finalle.

Deeply moving, the horrors of separation
A well deserved Pulitzer Prize for Hisham Matar, who writes bravely about the terrible experiences his family faced under the Gaddafi regime and not knowing the fate of his diplomat father. It is gripping and terrifying to read how easy it was for the authorities to arrest and kill Libyans at will even on foreign soil and the complicity of western countries that allowed it to happen. Truly a harrowing and stirring read.

Excellent all round
I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading reports that over 100 people walked out of the cinema at the movie’s premiere screening... The film is not for the squeamish but I felt the gruesome nature of the film was perfectly balanced by a gripping storyline, and excellent performances, especially from Matt Dillon. I was totally engaged all through the movie, and felt it was a perfect example of how a movie should be made.

fantastic read
OMG what a fantastic book, I love this series, each book was as gripping as the last. Very sad to see this series end but it ended in a fantastic way. This book is full of suspense and intrigue as well as continuing the amazing love story of the characters. I can't wait to read more from this amazing author in the future.

Mar 9, 2018
The body of a woman washes up on the beach, but inside are pictures from Mark's first case. As he thinks back to what happened then, will it give him a clue about the current murder? This is an emotionally gripping book that really explores Mark's character in the new way. Highly recommended for fans of the series.

One of the first books by King I read, as a relative newbie to the genre of horror I was not left disappointed. The gripping plot has stuck with me and it remains a personal favourite. In a traditional for King manner things are never as they seem, the reader is left guessing. Without spoiling the plot, I would definitely recommend it as a lovely bit of literature to keep one busy on a cold day.

Book Review | Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
I felt this book was different to what i read i am use to reading romance novels but i love to see what is out there. So this was popular so i jumped on the bandwagon and i felt this book was gripping and had twist and turns. I feel this book was better then the film by far and will love to read more of the author's books.
