Poor story
Learnt nothing from original
Shooting repetitively doesn't make a fun game
I completed the original Destiny and considered it a unfinished game, where you needed the DLC to make it a full game. I was hoping the sequel would at least try to release a full game at the start but no, same old problems remain. Plus Bungie and there dodgy business practices. Extremely disappointing.

The sequel is an overdue love letter to Paul Newman,positive moral exercise for all ages and genders. When that heart gear hits, all of the repetitiveness washes away to a satisfying series of smiles that you’re going to have a hard time wiping off .

I got this book as a Free Friday selection on my Nook Color. It was a quick, easy read. To be honest, at first I wasn't sure about it. Once I got into the story however I founc myself laughing and crying right along with Ginny as she traveled across the world trying to figure out her crazy aunt. I look forward to reading the sequel, The Last Little Blue Envelope.

OMG... I just can't. This book was epic. I love how much the story gripped me and wouldn't let go. It was a great sequel to the first. You learned more about the characters you already loved and it makes you love them more. I can't wait to read the next one. The world created in this book is amazing. It's definitely in my top 10 series to read.

It was a good book and I’m sure the sequel will be even better but I feel like there could have been more depth to it. I don’t know, I just think there was something missing. When it ended I felt it was a bit meh. I’ll read the next one because I dislike leaving it on a cliff hanger but I hope there’s a lot more to it.

This was a very interesting little book, it was a very quick read and was just over 100 pages long. It's definitely an interesting take on the 'citizenship' test. I can't really say more because it would ruin the main plot point. I'm actually still thinking about this book, solely because of the slightly-sinister ending. I would actually read a sequel or any continuation of this idea.

Wonderful imaginative character development. Better than many similar storylines (0 more)
No sequel and less than original concept (0 more)
Set in Oregon, but way cooler to visit than Portland
Full story that ends nicely, with a nerd champion who's behavior and perspectives are realistic and attainable. Makes you question modern games in ways Enders Game or similar stories have not. Also, if you do the audiobook, Wil Wheaton narrates, and he's a wonderful narrator.

Interesting setting and time frame/newly imagined world (0 more)
Predictable love story that's been overplayed (0 more)
Overall, the story didn't start to irritate me until the end and to be fair it was left with the opportunity for a more interesting sequel. I was just really impressed with it's strong, imaginative opening and then disillusioned with the cliche ending. Despite just an "okay" review, I still might give the second book a go.

Much better than I had expected. A big budget, action packed, fun new vision of Sherlock Holmes. A good well picked cast, great visuals, quite a lot of cgi and plenty of humour. Nice to see Guy Ritchie do more than just East London Gangster films! Also features the quickest journey from the Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge ever, artistic licence for you!! Sequel out next year!
