Review: Our Kind of Traitor - ARC

Our Kind of Traitor - ARC by John le Carré
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

This was my first spy thriller novel by this author. It was SO hard for me to get into it. I was confused about who was talking, the first person/third person switching made me crazy. This type of writing works for some people, it's just not my style. I chose not to finish it. That's not to say others wouldn't find it worth the time to make it to the end. I think the author is a talented writer, I'm just not the reader he is writing for.

I received this as an advance uncorrected proof that I won in a Goodreads giveaway.

Review: The Testament

The Testament by John Grisham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After the first chapter I completely lost interest and it took me some time to get back into it. I almost gave up but so many people said it was good, I trucked on. I'm so glad I stuck with it because I really liked it! The character of Nate irritated me to no end and then all of a sudden, I don't know what happened but, I loved him! I'd definitely recommend this book, especially to crime thriller/Grisham type fans everywhere.

Review: Blue Bloods

Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It's no Twilight or even House of Night but it's good. A different twist on the vampire fad that is sweeping the book nation. The brother/sister used to be husband/wife aspect is kinda creepy but it works with the story. You'll see what I mean when you read it. I'll read the rest of the series so I recommend them to you as well.

Review: Newes from the Dead

Newes from the Dead by Mary Hooper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story of a peasant girl who is hanged, survives and wakes up on the autopsy table. For lack of appropriate words to describe the feeling I got from reading this, I'll just say it's a great book! You get the back story from her (the hanged peasant woman) and the autopsy portion from a witness to the autopsy (the only one who notices that something isn't right). It's absolutely fabulous and intriguing, I promise. Would I lie to you?
