Historia
Starring Sherlock Holmes, this tale is based on a real-life ghost story from West Virginia. The basis of the story comes from a court case in the 19th century in which the testimony of a ghost was entered into evidence, leading to the conviction of a murderer. Jonathan Maberry has thrown Holmes and Watson into the mix for added punch.

Not very suspenseful
Revisado: 11-09-22
The plot reads like it was planned by a precocious 9 year old who passed it on the a superb word artist. Well written with great dialog but the action is linear s as nd the characters flat.

It's the beginning of a new school year at Normalton University, and Dani Sloan has purchased a table for the big orientation extravaganza on the quad, determined to recruit the incoming freshmen as customers for her innovative packed-lunch business. Her food samples are a hit, but the good always seems to come with a dose of bad, and just a few days later, a man is murdered during the annual college-sponsored zombie crawl.

Contrived plot
Revisado: 07-07-21
The word smithing is great. Lots of really nice pride, but the plot is totally bogus. The male characters are a bit more developed than the females who are mostly one dimensional. The female protagonist is better at describing the feelings of others than her own. The story is quite linear and both unsurprising and unrealistic.

Historia
When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

Great lyric writing. Rowling is a master of adjectives. But the story is dark black with little to recommend

Historia
It was a miracle of science that permitted human beings to live, if not forever then for a long, long time. Some people, anyway. The rich, the powerful, they lived their lives at the rate of one year every 10. Some created two societies: that of people who lived out their normal span and died, and those who slept away the decades, skipping over the intervening years and events. It allowed great plans to be put into motion. It allowed interstellar empires to be built.

Wooden and dull characters
Revisado: 05-04-19
The Worthing Saga started strong. But the characters never unfolded. Any mystery about why they thought or acted was filled by an omnipotent invisible narrator who supplied their motivation. The last third of the book was painful.
The author is writing a pretty heavy-handed morality play with a lot of foreshadowing. Not a good combination. Overall, I think Aesop did better with his compilation of fables.

Fabulous dialog
Revisado: 09-07-18
Karen White hits a home run in this book. I have to wonder if her portrayal of neurotic, guilt-ridden women comes from within. The plot is just a vehicle to move the people, all well-developed and complex. But the dialog between Eleanor and Helena is first class. I especially like the inner thought that provide the reasoning behind the words

Great reading of horrid story
Revisado: 09-01-18
Scott Brick could make the McGuffie Reader exciting. Even though Raising Atlantis makes less sense than the McGuffie Reader, he kept me engaged enough, even through the disappointing and inconclusive ending.
The story is bogus science fiction that would be better off set 10 centuries in the future than 20 centuries in the past. Sorry, Author, but I am just not buying the suspension of the laws of nature in a contemporary setting.

Nearly horrible

I’ve never before deleted a book without finishing, but this was too much. I don’t need to hear the whining of an insecure narrator and after 5 hours of giving it a chance, it’s time to cut my losses. That’s 5 hours I’ll never get back

The author, Victor Methos, manages a good deal of character development in a short amount of time. But it’s strength is the author’s ability to write dialog that is truly moving.

Disorganized writing
Revisado: 03-01-17
The plot is reminiscent of the soap opera when you learn the death of the protagonist was actually that of an unknown identical twins. Good writers don't need those types of devices. I suggest skipping to the last page, avoiding the frustration of a crippled plot, because it foreshadows a new and interesting relationship.
