Story for 2nd graders

Revisado: 03-18-25

The premise could have been good, but it was very slow, the character’s comments seem babyish, and the character development was completely missing. It was free so I really tried to give it a go. I gave up.

Loved this intimate snippet of time

Revisado: 03-07-25

This was so realistic, but easy on the listener because it’s not a full length book.

Constantly confused

Revisado: 01-23-25

I often love when authors voice their own books, but this one left me feeling nonplussed. He’s great at pronunciation, but it lacked excitement and momentum. I kept losing focus and forgetting which character was which. And while I liked the main characters, not enough to miss them.

In addition, all the little references to sex acts were a bit weird for me. Not my cup of tea, I guess.

I like detective stories with quirky characters, and can run through a series in a week. This is where this series ends for me though.

Shallowness of characters you can expect of Lust in the Dust

Revisado: 10-28-24

I’ve avoided this book a while based on adjectives (like seductive) in the reviews that made me suspect there were sex scenes in the book. But when it became free, I decided to see what the story was- maybe I was wrong? The story did not feel compelling, but was generally plodding. The history of the faeries was revealed so slow as to be painful. I finally returned it when it did, in fact, come to the sex scene. Nothing about the book before made me feel like the characters should be that attached. I certainly did not feel attached to any of them. Twilight, on the other hand, has as least some build up and better character development- and it avoided the grinding. Geez.

Thought Provoking with Great Characters

Revisado: 08-29-24

This will make a great book club book. Excellent historical fiction that makes you want to do some Googling.

Swearing, Everyone Having Sex, Strange Ending

Revisado: 07-01-24

If you like swearing (a LOT of swearing) , everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) sleeping around (which they only use the “f” word for), including while married, or are turned on by people choking someone while doing aforementioned, this book is for you. Also, apparently almost all guys are terrible, though I would suggest the habits of the females not better.

SPOILER ALERT(sort of): The ending (where the murderer is revealed) seemed ridiculous. The murderer does not seem realistic. And it’ll ruin one of the only good characters for you.

Is the writer talented? Yes? Also gross? Also yes. I would suggest this book to literally no one I know. You need to see a priest after reading this one.

Nothing particularly memorable…if you like predictable and corny, you’ve come to the right place.

A Pleasant Read

Revisado: 05-17-24

This book was an easy well-flowing read. I seem to have come into a series in the middle with this one, but it did just fine standing alone. I need books to keep me awake during menial tasks, and I always enjoy books that make you feel like you are spending time with new friends.

The killer, though, seemed a bit of a stretch to me. I didn’t feel quite convinced they had the reasonings for it all. It wouldn’t stop me from recommending it though.

Just a Good Well Thought Out Shortish Read

Revisado: 02-08-24

This author is just smart and I like how she thinks. The only thing I didn’t like were the occasional swear words. This book could have been perfect for all ages but for that and the occasional mention about being a security bot and not a sex bot. Sigh.

Amazing narration, moving rememberings

Revisado: 02-07-24

I liked all the references to actual conversations. I have read many of these camp stories and still appreciated this telling.
