Review: "The Night Stalker" by Chris Carter

The Night Stalker The Night Stalker by Chris Carter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I am sorry to say that this book was not as good as the previous two. There was something about it that just did not do it for me. It definitely was not the crimes, since they were very ... hm.. how do one say that he or she likes the way someone is killed in a book ;) Let's say the crimes were cleverly thought. But still something in the story made me stop reading it for almost half a mount.
If I have to be honest, if this was the first book of the series that I have read, I wouldn't have read the others. Now the only reason I am going to start the next one, is because I received very good review for it from my mother.
Let's hope that the next book would not disappoint me too.

Quote of the day!

"Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE! The word itself says I'M POSSIBLE!"

by

Audrey Hepburn













As far as I am concerned, Friday is just another day. If you think that Friday is so special, that means that you don't like you job enough to do it with pleasure every day. If that is the case than you should do more than just wait for the next Friday and live your life only on Saturdays and Sundays!

Review: "52 Steps To Murder (Dekker Cozy Mystery #1)" by Steve Demaree

52 Steps To Murder (Dekker Cozy Mystery #1)52 Steps To Murder by Steve Demaree
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I found this book free on Amazon. I still can't understand how could this have been possible. The book is great. It's funny and cunning.
The characters are great and the story is well written.
I am a great crime novels' fan, and I always enjoy a good crime story. I am obliged to say that this book is a piece of art. The crime itself is very intelligently made and almost impossible to solve.
In short I like it a lot. I plan to read the next books from the series too.

Review: More than Meets the Ink

More than Meets the Ink More than Meets the Ink by Elle Aycart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was hooked up by this book. I found it free on Amazon and I was amazed how this good book can be free. It was great. I read all the books in the series after that.
The characters are great and the story is interesting and hot. It's about one of those man that a girl can only dream about. Heck, I still dream about it.


Edited:
Two monts after reading this series I can say only that I still have not found a better series in this ganre to read. There was something different about Aycart's books. Something that made me want more. There was something in these brothers that made them feel real. May be it was the fact that neither the girls nor the boys were perfect looking. I still cannot understant what it was. But beleive me, those books are great.!

Review: Operator: A High Tech Sci-Fi Thriller

Operator: A High Tech Sci-Fi Thriller Operator: A High Tech Sci-Fi Thriller by Shane Phillips
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I don't like it. Good thing the book was free, so I did not spend any real money on ti.
I don't know if the book is part of something bigger or what was the purpose of this story, but I did not like it. It was like taken of a part of something with no beginning and no topic.

Review: Ready Player One

Ready Player One Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I don't like it.
I am a gamer. I like books and movies like this one, but not this one.
I cannot even believe that I finally managed to finish it!
It's unbearably boring. I suppose that this book could become a very nice movie, but I don't understand why it became so popular. Moreover, I have the deja vue about this book.
From the moment I started reading it two years ago.
When I was a kid, there was this one movie about some children who lived in a virtual reality and had to win some kind of contest there.
I don't know if the author has ever seen the movie or if Cline thinks that his idea is original, but it is not.

Review: Death du Jour

Death du Jour Death du Jour by Kathy Reichs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The book is very interesting. I like the way Reichs writes.
I think that this is going to become my next favourite books series.
The novel has everything I have ever wanted from a crime book: mystery, just a bit of romance, unpredictable twists. I am very found of Tempe and her way of handling problems. I would definitely start on the next book as soon as possible.
