The premise of this novel was very interesting, basing it on the 'fasting girls'. This is the first book I've read by the author, as I have zero interest in ever reading 'Room'. It was nicely paces, and an easy read. I read it in less than 24 hours. Roman Catholicism was portrayed... interestingly. I felt like the main character ragged on it a little too much. But, that's a personal thing.

The personal stories and experiences. (2 more)
People really open up.
You see another side of Conan.

You need to listen to this
So many celebrities show a different side of themselves. It's amazing, amazingly funny, and real as Conan asks some targeted and intimate questions. Of course it gets weird, but that's Conan O'Brien. We should expect anything less from him.
  
Now the murder victims in Bakerhaven are appearing with Sudoku and Crossword puzzles on them. Can Cora solve the latest case? The book was still fun, but I am getting very tired of the stories involving the main character's personal lives. It's been the same for several books now. Really time to move on.

I really enjoyed this collection of survivor stories. This was truly inspirational. At this moment, I have been dealing with some personal drama that has made me give up hope. It was truly a blessing that I found this novel as a Kindle First novel.

This book shows that we can all survive horrid situations. This is a good book if you're wanting an inspirational novel that shows the strength of survivors or horrid situations.

New favorite!
I watched the movie before I read this book. And I am so glad I did! I still love the movie but the book is 1000x better.
For his first novel, I was beyond impressed. Cline has a way to make you connect with the characters on a personal level, even with them living in an entirely different world. I just couldn’t put it down. Definitely my new favorite go to book!

Great book
This book is a diary of a doctor along with little snippets of his day it also mentions how his personal relationships where affected by his role, I personally would of liked more of this than you get in the book. The book has traffic moments as expected but also some very funny incidents and really shows Adam's character.

Undeniable variety in the tracks provided. (0 more)
A brilliant album by the Korean supergroup, BTS. There's an added personal touch in the form of a solo song from each of the 7 members, from the heart wrenching ballad 'Awake' to the upbeat 'Mama'. The album's title track 'Blood, Sweat and Tears' is synthy dance pop with a music video worth watching. All in all, a lot is offered in this album to enjoy.
