My kind of fantasy novel!

I bought this audiobook when it came out, but it took me a long time until I start listening it. I regret that. I totally loved everything about this fantasy novel. very interesting characters and the world building is fantastic! Can't wait to listen the #2.

A must read book for anyone who uses social medias

Revisado: 12-01-22

My husband and I have been talking about the damage Facebook has caused for many years, but this book told me more than I imagined. Very scary. Everyone should read this book.

This book made my visit to Goldeneye special

Revisado: 11-18-22

I finished this book before I visited Goldeneye in Jamaica. I also read (and re-read) 007 novels while I was there. I found so many interesting information and helped me understand Ian Fleming and 007 novels.

I felt insulted by this novel

Revisado: 05-29-20

One day after finishing this book, my anger against it increased. My feeling was upgraded from "dislike" to "detest". Therefore, 1 star instead of 2.

I had been fascinated by Bill Clinton since he was elected to be US president in 1992. I read many books about him and wished I would meet him one day to see if his charm was real. It finally happened in 2016 at a Hillary event. Hillary was with Bill and Chelsea and I met all of them. Hillary took a selfie with me. What surprised me the most was that Hillary was a better speaker and had more charisma than Bill by that time.

I'm sure many of us who voted for Hillary in 2008(primary) and 2016 wonder "what if"s. One of them is Hillary and Bill's marriage. I read this novel hoping Hillary gets better life in the alternate universe.

Unfortunately, it was a letdown. If she had decided not to marry Bill, she would've moved on completely. Hillary in this novel sounds too insecure about her looks or her value as a woman(and as a person). I don't think she is like that at all. Sittenfeld doesn't seem to understand who Hillary is. It's quite an insult for Hillary and readers like me. I don't think Sittenfeld really understood why women decide to stay with their boyfriends or husbands who are obviously bad for them. I hate the way Sittenfeld cheapened Hillary's character and her struggle.

One of my favorite Kinsale's

Revisado: 12-05-16

This novel has a strange sense of humor and chemistry between heroine and hero. It makes Midsummer Moon one of my favorite Kisale's novels.

I love Monk's sense of humor

Revisado: 03-05-16

A 25 year-old nerdy heroine and a "gentleman" professional killer with a bad case of OCD and zero tolerance for unsorted laundry is such a great combination!

I became addicted to Monk's quirky sense of humor.

I don't want to spend time with the heroine

Revisado: 03-05-16

I stopped reading when the heroine Rachel grew up to be a shallow bully. There are many interesting places, and Weiner is a good writer, but I just don't care what happens to the herone in the future. It's supposed to be a "Love Story", but I hate to waste time giving excuse to the main character who doesn't deserve love.

Master of unpleasant!

Revisado: 05-25-15

Martin Amis is a master of unpleasant. Every character is disgusting. Every situation is either nauseating or pathetic! (I think that's the point of this novel).

Much as I hate the book itself, I have to admit Amis's brilliance with words in this novel. (Yellow Dog was awful!).

The rhythm of his prose is more like poem. I didn't get it when I was reading on Kindle, but when I switched to Audiobook I got. Graeme Malcom did a superb job.

If you like "nice" novels which move you or make you believe in humanity, you should stay out of Amis.

I highly recommend this audio version!

Revisado: 05-11-15

The story itself is not the best of Heyer, but this Audiobook version is fantastic! Because it's narrated by Richard Armitage and it's "abridged".

Heyer's novels tend to be overly long with unnecessary details, but this version eliminated these parts. And Armitage did a great job bringing each character. Especially, Sylvester. Armitage made Sylvester more likable than original.

I highly recommend this particular audio version.
