Fun characters to follow, though somewhat stereotyped. Interesting storyline.

It was awesome

I like smart because I like when he wins the jumping race and I also like when Hannah and Becky become friends, and I also like the part when they train Becky to have stormy go across some of the fences even though she is scared of the fence that has the yellow flower box she still jumps over it because becky knows that she can do it

Easy read for a historical book. A lot to be learned, which one did not learn in a history book. Brad is a good writer who can hold a reader’s attention no matter the subject.

Audio book a story about a wealthy woman in her sixties who awakens in a nursing home memory unit with no memory of why she is there. She escapes and with the support of her young teen granddaughter and gradual recovery from over medication, Rose untangles a complicated web of evil - it’s all about the greed for money from relatives who will inherit and the greed of the nursing home owners to shorten the lives of selected residents. I did not enjoy this book- foul language though

I recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy, magic, and a good evil figure. There is so much action and it is non-stop adrenaline as Alina Starkov struggles with her immense power. If you’ve read Shadow and Bone, I recommend you continue on with the series. This is the second book in the series and the next book is Ruin and Rising. Totally worth the read.

i read it twice

While a continuation of the Bill Hodges story (book 2 of 3) he doesn't enter into the story until the back-half. The front half is all set up; the theft of $20,000 and priceless manuscripts and subsequent murder of the reclusive author at the hands of a maniacal fanatic, the obsessive's subsequent arrest for an unrelated crime, and many decades later the discovery of the berried treasure, an apparent miracle in the eyes of a young man whose family desperately needs one. King methodically sets up all the dominos, and puts all the pieces in place, clearly foreshadowing the Rube Goldberg conclusion, but it is still an enjoyable ride. One can't help but feel like this novel is an tantalizing amuse bouche served between a particularly delicious appetizer and a potentially dubious entree; While this and the previous instalment have been straight thriller suspense (not mysteries per say as the audience knows the killers), the epilog hints that the third and final instalment will have more traditional Stephen King themes of ESP and/or supernatural horror.

I like Among Us.
