Cringy

Revisado: 10-28-24

Cringy, cliche, predictable. Makes fun of and makes light of mental illness, implies people have no will power or self control, and can see the ‘twist’ coming from 10 miles away.

A bit tough as an audio

Revisado: 08-07-15

It was sometimes difficult to determine what was internal thought rants and what the narrating character was saying to other characters. That said, a twisted main character made for an interesting perspective on a more common storyline.

Wonder how many lies...

Revisado: 08-05-15

She talks of easily lying about how great her life was while in the mansion - makes me wonder if she is overcompensating and only drawing out the bad here. It is nice to hear the other side of the coin, but doesn't feel so balanced.

Part funny and part terrible

Revisado: 05-20-15

There were parts of this book that had me laughing out loud at the grocery store. Others that had me scratching my head in confusion at the disjointed timeline, story, or point he was trying to make.

Good finish

Revisado: 04-14-15

A bit slow and predictable for the beginning, but a great last hour!! 2nd best Green book to date (Fault in Our Stars still takes the cake).

Mixed on the descriptiveness, but would recommend.

Revisado: 03-19-15

Long and overly descriptive in some areas, but a good book with a lot of points for discussion. I think I cried for about 45 minutes as the author did such a good job of letting me get to know the characters and their emotions. (So maybe long and overly descriptive is a good think for building the characters.)

Deductive Reasoning at its Finest

Revisado: 05-11-13

The creation of a female Sherlock Holmes. I was never into the Doyle Sherlock/Watson series, but I am loving this riff on the classic concept. 'Retired' Holmes meets a young female to apprentice into deductive reasoning genius. I love that this book makes reference to the writings of Doyle as it makes me get so engrossed that I think it is a memoir from the apprentice's time with the "real" Holmes. Great start to a series.

"Stop after 1"

Revisado: 05-11-13

The first book in this series was "Shelter," and was a promising start to the series. This 2nd was a let down. The mystery and twists were still there, but the plot just felt far less believable. I'll end up reading the 3rd book to give the series another chance, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it goes better than this.

"Tough Love: Save your credit"

Revisado: 05-11-13

I've never wished for an abridged version of a book this much before!" (okay, exaggeration, I have one other time - but this was pretty bad). There seemed to be too many sub-plots that took chapters explain that went nowhere in the big picture of the read. A hero that couldn't save, a survivor that couldn't survive, and an innocent that was actually innocent. Save your credit for something better!

"Illogically Great"

Revisado: 05-11-13

As I try to write a review, I realize that there were some aspects of the book that I did not like: A good plot with what were supposed to be twists (I think) and not totally believable. In hindsight there were tons of holes in the logic of some sub-plot, but I can't help but love it! I was Completely invested in the characters by the 3rd chapter. I was about to attack my Iphone to get the characters to cooperate with what I thought should happen next. I love when books get me that invested that early on. Overall, worth the credit and the time of reading it twice.
