Not the best of King...

Revisado: 09-30-24

The characters act in a slightly illogical way and the ending sort of unravels and leaves loose ends and unanswered questions...

Nothing very new, but could be good for teenagers

Revisado: 06-21-24

The book is well written, but the ideas are pretty basic. If you have ever tried to go on a diet and ended up hiding the unhealthy snacks in a hard to reach place or not buying them altogether so they are not easily accessible when the cravings hit, you will probably not hear anything new upon reading this book. It was a nice quick read, but I think it would be more interesting for people who are just discovering ways to battle procrastination rather than anyone who is more used to handling responsibilities.

Good start, bizarre (in a negative way) ending

Revisado: 06-13-24

The book was hard to get through. The characters were great, but part of the story circles around them acting irrationally and like "controlled by higher power", which makes it hard to relate to or enjoy. The ending completely fell flat for me, I couldn't wait to finish the book so I can move on. Disappointed...

A good teenage read!

Revisado: 05-03-24

Compared to other books I've read, this one is a bir more geared to kids (maybe teenagers, as there's some rough scenes). It was good, but left me craving for more. Still a fantastic read though!

Fantastic! I only wish it was longer...

Revisado: 04-02-24

Maybw Not my favorite (King's Fairy Tale topped this for me), but definitely out there as one of the top books I've ever read. It was a slower and more painful start, but when it picked up, it was hard to put down. This is a good time to read it after having gone through COVID... Give it 2 hours and you'll be 100% invested!

Fantastic! Kept hooked until the end

Revisado: 02-03-24

This is my second King's book (I want the fan of the Shining) and it's easily one of my favorites. It's like a combination of adult Wizard of Oz, Hunger Games and fairy tales with a vibrant story and adventures. I wish they made a movie.

The worst of Courtney's...

Revisado: 12-04-23

I'm a big fan of the author's, but this book was a struggle. The characters are annoying and I really ended up hating them towards the end, plus, there's some perverse justification for heroin, which is a complete fantasy co concocted from someone who obviously doesn't know much about it, as well as a weird version of throuple (what, there aren't enough men in the world for the characters to dite over the same one?) ... I just couldn't root for Anna, as she in my opinion, was just a traumatized annoying brat, always getting her way from the main character, who seemed just a pushover. I'm disappointed and couldn't wait to finish this book.

Interesting idea, but gets frustrating

Revisado: 09-12-23

The book joins two stories: a retired woman, who cleans an aquarium, and a good-for-nothing guy, who is looking for his long lost father, joined by an extra smart human-like octopus. The idea is unique, but somewhere with 3-4 hour left in the book, the ending revelation becomes clear and it gets just frustrating to listen to it, as suddenly the plot turns into a series of "unfortunate events". Think about someone finally calling to tell the main secret, just for the recipient to "accidentally" lose their phone, or someone wanting to show an item that would help resolve all secrets, just to get angry and actually throw it out... that kind of stuff. This draws the story out and makes it frustrating to listen to. Nice idea, but way too much relish taken into torturing the listener with a manufactured suspense. Nice and heartwarming ending though! That's undeniable.

Fantastic

Revisado: 07-04-22

Definitely better than the movie. Elaborate and detailed story, which reads very easily and sucks you in from start to finish.

A love story

Revisado: 06-17-22

Not the best by the author, but does not disappoint. it's essentially a love story, set in early Singapore. as always, there's a lot of cultural aspects incorporated in the story, which make Singapore come alive. Excellent read!
