Contains spoilers, click to show
Casino Royale is the first book in the James Bond Series. I’m sure everyone knows who that is.
I have absolutely nothing good to say about this book.
I was so excited to read this. The movies are pretty awesome and action-packed. I thought the book would be fast paced and gripping. This has been one of the most boring books I have ever read. Bond wasn’t suave, calculating, or deadly. He was just pure, dumb lucky. It was so disappointing.

This is a bone chilling page turner! Supernatural meets The Exorcist meets Law & Order in a gripping story that has just the right amount of humor, fear, suspense and resolution.
This book read like a dream. I couldn’t put it down. The story grabs your from the first page. There’s no boring build up. From the first paragraph your thrown into the fight.
This book leaves you ready for the next journey. Packed with everything needed to make a satisfying read and reader.

Not quite the story I was expecting - the book actually feels like bits of different stories have been randomly pieces together, often meaning things get a bit confusing.
As the story flows along, I also found myself liking the two main characters less and less, to the point of indifference, which makes the twist ending fall a bit flat.
There are some gripping moments along the way and the book is easy to read, but I can’t help feeling a little disappointed overall.

You're beautiful.
I watched this when it was first aired and I thought it was fantastic. It battles real life problems and something any girl/woman can relate to.
It makes you laugh, cry, hate, love and just about everything else. All the characters have been casted Brilliantly but I will say that Rae is acted absolutely perfectly, Sharon Rooney is such a terrific actress and she makes the show a must watch.
It's gripping, heartbreaking, soul warming and definitely recommended.

I thought this book would ruin the Throne of Glass series as Chaol was one of my least favourite characters up to that point but it astounded me in being really gripping, following both chaols problems as well as Nesryn and new character Yrene Towers who are both far more interesting characters than Chaol in my opinion. As always Sarah J Maas writes beautifully with plots you could never hope to see coming. Can't wait for the next installment in the series.

A blatantly honest, gripping story about family.
"It blew me away. I found myself constantly highlighting quotes from it, stopping to think about how incredibly relatable it is. It is a book not only about death and grieving, but the ghosts that follow you throughout your life. Anne Enright speaks your innermost unspoken thoughts, and she does so unapologetically." -my bookstagram account, rorythereader.

Wow, wow, wow! This book was very gripping! I loved the way the main characters had their own points of view as chapters. The whole plot was amazing. I can not think of one bad thing to say about this book. I'm definitely going to give Heather Gudenkauf's other books a read now as I believe she is a brilliant writer. This book is so emotional, and I would've never guessed the gunman's identity at the end. What a shocker!

Should be required reading
I have never read such a gripping, fascinating and heartwarming story that also taught me as much as this book did. Whilst I have always supported the Black Lives Matter movement, I have never understood it in the way that I do after reading this book. I have so much love for all of the characters. It had me crying in public for a lot of it! I recommend this book to anyone who’ll listen to me!

This book is a gripping courtroom drama about a hard-working single Mum and solicitor who is trying to juggle a demanding job and a disabled child when she gets a case that she can't let go of.
This story is so perfectly paced and engaging that, before I even realised it, I was halfway though. The absolute definition of a page turner, especially in the last few chapters and I can't wait to read some more of Ruths work.
