I learned that Whitman is a free soul.
"Eloisa..." es muy eficiente, y sus personajes se definen rápidamente y consiguen enganchar rápidamente. "Las cinco advertencias..." es una obra menor y en algunos momentos fallida.

** spoiler alert ** Wow, this was a really good series and this book was a very good finale. Michael's back Lilly's back and Mia wrote a romance novel!

Another entry in the House of Night series - a happier end-note but still tends to drag out the plot over the course of a day for the entire novel rather then make any real headway in getting to the penultimate climax.

Overall I really enjoyed this, the second book in the Rose Trilogy. Similar to the Tea Rose, it drew me in to another time and place. I loved the romance between wealthy and gifted female doctor India Selwyn Jones and the head of East End London crime gang Sid Malone. What a fantastic contrast between these two characters backgrounds and position in life - it lent itself to some very passionate moments! My only comment in the negative would be that the story was quite long and didn't carry itself quite as strongly as the Tea Rose in some parts. It felt at times that the author was trying to fit so much in and yet there was too much of a lapse in interaction between the main characters to be fully satisfying. Anyway laying some frustration aside, it was a great story and a very enjoyable read that I would recommend.

Little Bee is about a young-ish African immigrant to the UK who winds up living with a recent widow, due to a past connection. I'll start by saying that I appreciated the gravity of Little Bee's situation. I was also unaware of immigration issues in the UK, so I admire Chris Cleave's attempt to explore the issues in literary form. With those points said, I didn't like this book. Too many details, not enough story. In my opinion, very little actually happens in this book, such that I can almost understand why the book jacket description is so odd... almost. Everything felt forced and Sarah's life felt like cliche chick lit. I forced myself to finish it, but only with much page skimming.
This book gave me anxiety! It had me cringing and gasping and gripping the book until my knuckles were white, but I couldn't put it down! Amazingly written and awesome plot! I'll be picking up the second one, even though this book scared the crap out of me! :)
Yet another book that I started and haven't finished. With these books it's easy to put it down for 6 months and when you pick it up again you can pick right up from where you left off no problem. (Doesn't hurt that I've seen the movies about 10 times!)
As a kid, I had a thing for all things monsters. Who didn't? My passion for dinosaurs gave way to Nessie, Yetis, Bigfoot, etc. In fact, for awhile I even entertained fantasies of becoming a monster hunter. I was going to be the one to prove all these mythical creatures existed. Well, that didn't last long, but I never lost my interest in these creatures, which is why I just had to read Eric S. Brown's Bigfoot War. As a kid, Jeff Taylor witnessed something no kid should ever have to go through—the murder of is father and younger brother. The authorities chalked it up to a bear attack, but Jeff knew the truth. Now, all grown up, Jeff is back for revenge on the creature that killed his family. When Jeff reveals the real reason he's come home, he is greeted with ridicule and disbelief, but the townspeople rapidly come to realize that Jeff speaks the truth. There is a blood-hungry Bigfoot roaming the forests surrounding their town. With the help of Sheriff Becca May and her deputies, they dispatch the killer, but it soon becomes apparent that the one they killed is not alone. According to the town "medical examiner", the markings on this creature label it as either a "holy man" or an outcast, and based on the reaction of the other creatures in the forest, it's a safe bet to say they killed the leader of the Bigfoot community. They are angry, and they want revenge. Are Becca and her team of deputies enough to save the town's residents from an army of furious sasquatch? Can they hold back the army of furred warriors long enough for help to arrive? I wasn't disappointed with Bigfoot War, but I did have one issue with the book. Reading it, it quickly becomes clear that Brown has a blatant disregard for the reader's emotional attachment to the characters they encounter in the book. Just when you begin to like a character or feel sorry for what they have endured, the character is gone, a victim of the furry fury that is laying waste to the town. It literally becomes a guessing game as to who will see things through to the end. Once you realize that you shouldn't invest any emotional energy in the characters, you can enjoy the ride. . . and what a ride. The book is a fast-paced roller coaster ride of savage fury, blood, and guts (yes, I'm a gore whore) that will have you turning the pages long into the night. The visuals Brown creates are vivid, and it plays like a movie in your mind. In fact, the book reads like a detailed treatment for a movie and does bring to mind the B-movies I so loved growing up, and still love to this day. It screams for a sequel, which I hope Brown is considering. If have a love for gory horror films and like your books fast paced, I can't recommend Bigfoot War enough.
Still love these characters. Always fun to read.
