Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated The Perfect Girlfriend in Books
May 1, 2019
If you ever wanted to know the beginnings of the bunny-boiler, this is it! This is a thrilling novel of obsession, relationships and self-awareness. The twists and turns are magnetic and the overall feel is that of equal parts dread and anticipation. This is a book that really makes you wonder, how far is too far and blurs the line forever. I could not put it down!

This was an intellectual horror. Andrew Pyper did a good job working Paradise Lost by Milton into this novel. It almost makes me want to read the full text of the poem - but not quite.
If you are looking for a gory horror story, look elsewhere. While this does have a few icky moments, most of it is psychological.
Even after finishing it, I'm still wondering...

Trish (4 KP) rated The Zen of Fish: The Story of Sushi, from Samurai to Supermarket in Books
Feb 8, 2018
A non fiction book that read more like a fiction novel. I learned so much about sushi and fish. I now have a much better understanding when I go to my local sushi restaurant. I enjoyed the characters and following their journey through sushi school. If you have any interest in sushi, pick this up. You learn the facts while getting to know the characters. best of both worlds.

Young adult novel about a teen who moves to a small town in Washington and falls in love with a vampire... I enjoyed it (and this isn't my normal reading fare), but couldn't past the terrible writing, lack of character development, and clunky passages that just made me cringe. If it had been better developed and written, it would have been a total winner, because it still had me spellbound.

The story in this novel managed to capture my attention fairly well (even if I did figure out a good portion of the plot early on), but the writing was rather painful. The author left nothing to the imagination or inference, but spelled every single plot point, emotion, and thought out. I found myself rolling my eyes fairly often... but still curious as to what would happen next.

The Branning Family has found themselves stuck in the suburbs with no modern convinces. The entire world has been hit, and nothing electric works. But even worse, there's a killer in their neighborhood. This Christian novel grabbed me, and I loved it. Unfortunately, the characters were a bit shallow.

I had high hopes for the book. The summary and cover art tempted me to buy it, so I did. And boy, I could not put this on my 'to sell' pile quick enough. The first part of the novel is nearly straight from Aladdin: now, there's nothing wrong with that, this book was published by Disney. But the whole Jasmine started a revolution? Eye roll to the max.

Another miss for me, maybe I just flat out don't like Gaiman's writing. I thought this novel was boring, and I listened to the audiobook. I know Gaiman narrated the audiobook, but his voice got so whiny, I almost didn't finish it. Sadly, I did, and I'm glad I was just driving listening to it, and not wasting my free time.
Sorry, not sorry about the low rating.

Jun 21, 2018 (Updated Jun 21, 2018)
A solid second novel
While not the pop culture thrill ride that was Ready Player One, this book still held my interest. It will appeal to gamers and Sci-Fi fans with its premise of a video game being used to train the general populace as soldiers. You need to be able to speak fluent “geek” (Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, etc.) to catch all the references.
