Sometimes I Lie

Alice Feeney | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry

7.8

Book Rating

One of the most intriguing beginnings evolve into one of those psychological mind-twisting books that divides readers. The literary equivalent to marmite, you will either love it or hate it! There are an awful lot of novels like this on the market but Feeney has a fresh style and creates characters and backgrounds that are believable, even if the narrative is hard to navigate at times. I admit, I had to re-read the ending. I wouldn’t want to outline anything here that would spoil the story so I will just recommend it wholeheartedly, just don’t blame me if you read it twice.

Altitude Rush

Matthew Reilly | 2001 | Thriller

8.0

Book Rating

This is a short story available for free download from Matthew Reilly's website. It follows the usual Reilly formula of breathless, suspension of disbelief action, compressed into short form. Engineering a situation where our heroes must get across New York against the clock and without going below a certain altitude, Reilly uses every trick he can think of to get the reader's adrenaline pumping as they leap from rooftop to rooftop. And he knows a lot of tricks.

This is certainly not going to win any serious literary awards but that's not what this is for. For pure escapist fun to while away the time this fits the bill perfectly.
