The story is written from the point of view of a serial killer and takes the reader on a chilling journey. Not being a serial killer myself, I am not sure how accurate the narration is but it seemed to be quite believable to me - it is cold, devoid of empathy or guilt and terrifying in its detachment from the horror that he is inflicting.
I enjoyed this book although it did mess with my head a bit!

Complex, interesting requires careful reading
An excellent journey into the origins of the universe and what makes human beings so unique within it. It's always been a fascinating concept, and it's interesting because Brian Cox attempts to make the topic more accessible to those less inclined to read science based books.
However, there are still complex theories and formulas discussed so I'd suggest reading and absorbing the information than listening and losing focus. Better still, watch the documentary when it is aired on TV.

Fascinating and tragic - a journey into the human brain
Oliver Sacks, the late eminent British neurologist, is wonderfully curious and compassionate while journeying into people's experiences of the human brain. It is both humorous in some aspects but mostly tragic and terrifying to see how fragile human beings truly are. It is explained in the simplest of terms, though there is still a lot of scientific jargon. And some particular cases such as the disembodied woman and the man with nightmares is rather frightening. Fantastic read.

Great character depth (1 more)
Strong world building
Phenomenal
This book saved my life. Though this wasn't the first book published in the series, it's where the story truly begins. For fans of Drizz't Do'Urden who haven't started with this book, it's the best place to get to know our favorite Dark Elf. This book explores his childhood starting with the day of his birth and moving through everything that made him leave his home and take the first steps on what becomes an amazing journey.
graveyardgremlin (7194 KP) rated Read On...Historical Fiction: Reading Lists for Every Taste in Books
Feb 15, 2019
Is there anything better than a book about books? :D Very handy little book, especially if you're a novice to the historical fiction genre and aren't quite sure where you'd like to travel next. How the author categorized books was very helpful and inventive too. Altogether it may not be the most comprehensive guide to historical fiction, but it's a darned good place to start your journey in the field or just to decide what's next. Is it weird that I read it cover to cover? ;P
Auburn (57 KP) rated Mackenzie (Heritage Bay Series, #2) in Books
Apr 10, 2019
The best kind of emotional journey a book could have. Mackenzie sucks you in from page one and keeps the twists coming not to mention the all of the juicy drama M.A Foster can smush into a book. The anticipation of the romance and the slow realistic burn of it just adds to the already perfect mix. Making this one of the best contemporary books I have read lately. You will laugh, you will cry, and you may just stay up all night reading it.

I loved this story, the author has a fab way of writing so that the characters lead you on a fantastic journey as you read. The characters really worked well within the story. This book has lots of passion and sweet romance. This story can be read as a stand alone. This is a fast paced story which will have you hooked till the end.
Highly recommended

Chrissie-ann (78 KP) rated The Terror in TV
Jul 16, 2018
The start of this show I really enjoyed, i found it captivating and compelling. It was interesting to see how these men were living on their journey and bits of their back story. Things turn bad for the man ad the show carries on and it seems to reach a high point. And then from there I thought it became slow, boring and tedious. It was a shame because of how well it had started. By the last episode I wasn't in any rush to watch it.

Dair was my favourite from the beginning anyway so this book just swept me off my feet and took my breath away! I'm still so hooked with this series and theres no sign of me ever stopping. I could read it every day and never get tired. The characters are still developing in such a fantastic way and they are learning how to be together and help Haret! I know they will succeed in the end and I'm glad I can read the journey the whole way!
Andrew Sinclair (25 KP) rated The Good Place in TV
Nov 23, 2019
The Good Place is a fun, silly and surreal sit-com about redemption. It is set in an after life where only good people go. But the main character is not a particularly good person and realises she doesn't belong there. This realisation takes her on a journey of self-improvement so can stay in The Good Place. However there is a mind-blowing twist at the end of season one that changes everything. It's a rare thing to have a thought provoking sitcom.
