This is a delightful book and I thought it was thoroughly entertaining. Neil Gaiman has been writing modern fairy tales for years filled with magical moments
“The Death Instinct” by Jed Rubenfeld is a fictional thriller set in the 1920’s. The book centers around the historical Wall St. bombing of 1916.
The narrative is good, easily understood and confident. The tale of honor and betrayal is accompanied by interesting characters which makes it entertaining
I found this book charming, the story flows and the characters are likable. This book is not a deep, serious, preachy, or legal novel, but it is cute
We, The Drowned by Carsten Jensen is a spellbinding, award winning novel spanning 100 years in a small Danish coastal town Marstal, and its inhabitats
The mystery is the way the investigation unfolds, layer by layer while the reader is privy to how the murder was done is a unique way to tell a story
Joe is not a perfect narrator and after finishing the book I finally saw what the author was trying to convey, a hard man making a hard living
An easy read and well written story. The narrative is clean and sometime even lyrical. The characters are multi-dimensional, vivid and fully realized
The pace is fast but the story is predictable, about half way through (if not sooner) I already figured out the ending which, this time, had no twists.
The book is atmospheric and deals with the harsh punishment society deals to those they deem guilty (without proof) as well as racial elements.
