Book Rating

Well written but too long and fluffy

Deborah Levy is a wonderful writer and is able to explore characters in a detailed way.

Unfortunately the storyline is a little too convoluted, rather emotional with little substance about an adult daughter's relationship with both her parents. It could be cut down to half the length and even then it may be too long. This may appeal to drama lovers but be warned - the story can be summed up in a sentence.

I was afraid to read this book because I had heard about how it can leave you ugly crying. After reading it (and crying my eyes out) I was so glad that I decided to, it brings you so many emotions whether you're crying or laughing or even angry, the story stays true to real life and how real people affected by disease live the life they're given. John Green is an amazing writer and this might be his best work.

Wow, wow, wow! This book was very gripping! I loved the way the main characters had their own points of view as chapters. The whole plot was amazing. I can not think of one bad thing to say about this book. I'm definitely going to give Heather Gudenkauf's other books a read now as I believe she is a brilliant writer. This book is so emotional, and I would've never guessed the gunman's identity at the end. What a shocker!

Brilliant writer

One of my new favorite authors!!!

I cannot say enough good things about this author. I stumbled upon this book, totally out of the norm of what I had read in the past. I honestly couldn't put this book down. I had to know what was next. Easy read because it was so wonderfully written and will suck you in front the get to! Highly suggest bthis book and any other by A.J. Banner!

Great UK conscious artist

Akala is an incredible person. Writer, activist, genius and damn good rap artist. The Thieves Banquet continues Akala's vehicle of using the music to spread his valuable and important messages but only works if it sounds good and it does. It's not Akala's best work but it's still better than most of the other dirge out there. I'm reviewing this in 2019 and right now we need a new album to give the social commentary for today

A 90's throwback blast from the past I hadn't seen in a very longtime. Looking at it now it's a fairly formulaic slasher movie that wouldn't have been made if writer Kevin Williamson hadn't had a huge hit with Scream the year before. It has some fun moments but is light on any real scares. I had forgotten how easy on the eye Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar were though so I was largely kept entertained throughout.
