Kelly Rettie (748 KP) rated The Tattooist of Auschwitz in Books
Oct 22, 2020
Very emotive
I have just finished this and it took me a few tears and had to have a wee break while reading it. It tells the story of Lale, while he was in the concentration camp and how he survived. Fairly graphic in parts, but then the detail of how he met and fell in love with who would become his wife. I found this a stern reminder to appreciate the freedom I have now, even with its limitations of the current pandemic and for that I am so grateful to this book. I feel the Heather Morris did this mans memory proud with this piece and to read his sons afterword brought tears to my eyes again. So glad I finally read it.

My one thought right now is: why didnt I fetch the last book with me on holiday?!?
I sped through this so easily and quickly got dragged back into the series despite it being 2 and a half years since I read the first one.
Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait another four or five days till I'm back home to finish the series now and see how everything plays out with Penryn, Raffe, Paige and their crazy mum.

Hazel (2934 KP) rated Devil's Way (Kate Marshall #4) in Books
Jan 8, 2023
This is 4th in the Kate Marshall series and, in my opinion, this is a great series. This might not be the best one out of the 4 but it is equally as good. You don't have to have read any of the previous books as this works well as a standalone, but if you want my advice, I would read them anyway because they are really very good!
The characters are really strong and I am now quite attached to Kate and Tristan; they make an excellent partnership and I am particularly enjoying their character development as each book comes along. The pace was perfect for me and the story was full of intrigue and although I guessed the twist ... eventually, I really enjoyed how it all played out.
Mr Bryndza is now one of my go-to authors and I highly recommend his books and I must thank Raven Street Publishing and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Devil's Way.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated Dangerous Boys in Books
Jul 19, 2018
I read this book shortly after reading Dangerous Girls, the two books are in no way connected, they follow different people in different stories however they are similar.
The book uses a split perspective between then and now to explain the two main mysteries of the book. 1) how did we come to the situation at the start of the story. 2) which brother survived and how’s it going to play out now.
I found it hard to put the book down as I just wanted answers and it kept me guessing trying to work out what had happened and why.
I have got to say I did prefer Dangerous Girls I think it was because it had more of the legal side of the investigation.
I would definitely recommend this book.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Farenheit 451 in Books
Jun 19, 2018
This book was assigned over the summer of the 9th grade year... WOOF. Reading this was torture, analyzing it was easy, thank god. I read a lot of books, and this one never had my attention, and I think it's severely overrated. I could not drink the kool-aid on this one.
The only reason I still have my copy is because it's now worth a bit more money than I bought it for.

Aasiyah Sidat (34 KP) rated The Life of Pi in Books
Jul 5, 2018
Now I know that Life of Pi was a major motion picture and got a lot of awards for acting. I didn't watch the full movie at the time, just a couple of clips when I was flying. At the time, it did not seem in the slight bit interesting and it definitely was not my cup of tea.

Jenn (9 KP) rated Behind Her Eyes in Books
Nov 13, 2017 (Updated Nov 13, 2017)
Really liked this book..
Dont generally read this genre of books they have to really peak my interest for me to want too buy this genre - i read the back and the bits that are saying what other authors think of it and i thought i'd give it a go.
Alot of people were going on about the end and i was sceptical like it cant be hard too figure out but omg was i wrong, this book takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions. You follow 3 people and you dont know whose side to be on or who to feel sorry for.
Its a really easy read, it doesnt take long to get into and i personally couldnt put it down though the end is a bit far fetched to some people it fits in keeping with the book and it really made me think, and makes you want to read the book again to see if anytging pops out now you do know. it was so hard after because i had no one too discuss this with and i really wanted too.
I really really enjoyed this and would reccomend to anyone would also like to have a discussion with anyone who didnt like it (if there is anyone)

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated UnEnchanted in Books
Jan 6, 2021
I downloaded this 18 months ago, not long after receiving my first kindle, and I was obsessed with freebies. Since then I've read a lot of books and I now know my tastes a lot better.
This wasn't to my liking.
I thought it would be some retelling of a fairy-tale but it wasn't quite like that. I'll admit it was rather imaginative, plot-wise, but it didn't grab me as much as I'd have liked. The best bit for me was the slight romance between Mina and Brody.
It could also do with a little editing.
