A little disappointing
I'm not a massive GT fan, and this is the first GT game I've played in quite a while. To be honest, it's a little disappointing.

Graphically it is a very beautiful game. Both the cars, tracks and scenery are flawless. The problem is with the gameplay. As with most games nowadays, the focus is entirely on online gameplay. Which is a pain for people like me who aren't particularly bothered about playing against random people.
The single player campaign is more of a training school than any sort of career mode, and the two player split screen is atrocious. The screen is split vertically which is painful to watch after a while and there's no option to change the screen. There's also no option to add in computer players and racing against one person gets a little old very quickly.
The number of cars and tracks also appears to be limited in comparison with other games unless you unlock them in single player. And I find the menu screen isn't very user friendly.


Great if you want to play online, but lacking otherwise.

Marlee Jacob has been roped into helping her friend Piper find a starting location for the upcoming Blackberry Car Rally, but while checking out the newest prospect, they uncover a skeleton. The remains belong to Sienna, a promising art student who vanished 20 years ago from the local art school. With the art school holding a reunion, everyone Sienna knew is back in town. At the time, everyone thought she’s drowned in Lake Michigan, but if that’s what happened, how did she get buried away from the lake?

This book starts out well, but it only gets better when the reunion starts and Sienna’s friends arrive. From that point on, I didn’t want to set the book down due to the twists and the strong suspects. When I hit the climax, I was racing to find out what would happen next. Marlee and her friends are a pleasure to be around, and the setting is a summer vacation paradise it is a pleasure to visit on the page.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book.

Ending was on point
You'll be relating to spiders
Ok, so this was my first audio book listening.
My god I'm so glad i found this book, I probably would never have picked it up as I'm not really into space themed stories. but 1 free book on audible free trial, so i thought why not?

Holy cow, this book had my heart racing throughout and towards the end the tears flowing.
One lonely green world left as earth has become nothing, a somewhat failed experiment (what have you done to my monkeys!) and a whole bunch of amazing spiders and over 2000 years of the last humans looking for a home.
As a person who loves evolution and genetics and all the jazz, this book was genius.
I didnt know who i wanted to win, humans? spiders?

This book is so intelligently written, yet easy to grasp. The ending was amazing, beautifully finished. A wealth of interesting characters that who cant help but feel for (never thought i could love and relate to spiders) and its so amazingly unique in its story.
Please read this book.
