Wow this was a thrilling and edgy ride to be a part of. Amazing writing and characters. There is nightmares, murder, love interests, romance (and a sexy romance at that), intrique and so much more in this story. The writing makes me feel as if I was a part of this story with the characters. I felt as if I was in their lives and seeing it as it was happening. I love when a writer makes me feel like that. Linda did an amazing job with this first story in this series and I can't wait to see what happens next

amnesia lasts too long (0 more)
The MCs of this book are simply not as likably as Fin MacLeod of The Lewis Trilogy. For most of this book, the MC (the one in 1st person) is unsure of who he is, though it seems obvious that he is related to another MC. As someone who experienced traumatic amnesia, I know that the character's amnesia is well done, but as a reader I didn't like it--it lasted too long. This was a good read, just not as thrilling as his other books.

Altered Carbon, (Netflix)

Alternately mind bending, exciting, confusing, thrilling, cleverly written, dazzlingly plotted, and all-around fantastic, this may be the best science fiction television show I’ve ever watched in my whole life. Watch it, and find out that I’m not exaggerating. Be forewarned: it is fairly confusing, and has tons of violence and full frontal nudity throughout. LOTS of violence and TONS of nudity. I LOVE this show! So clever!! (There are always going to be plot holes and logic jumps and gaps, let the show be what it is and you WILL be entertained!)

Disappointing.

I read this on holiday, was intrigued by the plot and was expecting it to be tense, erotic, shocking and thrilling, yet I found none of it. After finishing the book, I put it down and it was a 'is that it?' moment, I couldn't quite believe I'd read the whole thing, it hadn't seemed go anywhere exciting.

The book itself is well written and the characters are interesting, and individually make for a good story, but merge them all into one and you get nothing too exciting.

The book's been done before, that's all I can say.

Day has won critical acclaim for her three previous novels and this latest offering is an astute thriller that will appeal to a wide audience. The story revolves around old friendships, social climbing and a secret that could change everything, all over the course of an evening. Day has skilfully recreated the societal norms of the twenty-first century with her profound characters, astute observations and wit, adding levity to the myriad of insecurities that plague our modern world. You do have to wait to find out exactly what happened, but Day's foray into loyalty, anxiety and friendship makes it a thrilling read.

Chinese Mysticism
Contains spoilers, click to show
A tale of Chinese mysticism, set in the river city of Tientsin in early 20th Century China, with a mystic, a forensic scientist, a reporter and a spiritually talented investigator getting together to solve a string of incidents that all build to a final conclusion.
Very well acted, with fabulous locations and gorgeously replicated period clothing and props.
A fantastic storyline that starts out as individual incidents that don't necessarily seem to be connected, but that build to a thrilling cliffhanger finale.
Altogether a great watch.

This book was thrilling, exhilarating and fun. I was intrigued at once by the setting and situation. The characters were relatable (in their own way) in that we’ve all met people like them; with those qualities, desires and drives. At some point I was a bit confused by the “rules” but overall the author does a great job of explaining the new realm as well as telling an interesting and adventure-filled story. I can’t wait to read the sequel and a prequel or two if they come about. The Permafrost and characters have many more tales in them.

Hulk is my favourite marvel superhero
The Incredible Hulk is so understated in my opinion. I love the whole idea of science experiment gone wrong. The story and emotions are quite complex which makes it interesting.

I just genuinely think the power to smash things is super cool.

I think the cinematic value is low and would have been better in more recent times. I am excited and hopeful that Hulk is developed further once more marvel content is released. I feel his relationship with Natasha could be developed to make him a more useable hero.
