I only marked it as dnf because I watched the movie and I can't read a book once I've watched the movie 😅
i started reading this almost 5 years ago. i doubt i will ever get to it. dnf-ing for now, with the potential to get to later
I'm going to keep this short because I really have nothing to say but. I. Loved. This. Book!
The reason why I gave it 4/5 stars is because Tiny annoyed the crap out of me. And, if you are reading this, and wondering which Will Grayson I enjoyed the most, it was David Levithan's.
that twist was bad. dear god. this won in the horror category in 2022? where was the horror?
this was more of a 2.5 for me. the timeline was just confusing to me especially since i listened to the audiobook. also, i feel like this could have been told in third person instead of getting pov's from every character (there are like seven pov's total)
okay the beginning of this book had me hooked, but something happened somewhere in the book and it bored me. i don't know how to explain it, but it was just like your every day hollywood movie about a plane abduction. didn't add anything new for me.
I've never read a Kubica before because everyone I've talked to who has read books from her just thought they were middle-of-the-line books, but then I saw that people I follow giving this one 4 or 5 stars so I thought I'd give it a shot and I don't regret it.
i am not rating this book. i did not expect to read about the smell of a baby triceratops carcass lmao. but the child i read it ti understands everything about dinosaurs so it wasn't too weird
after his last book and not enjoying that, i was iffy on reading peter swanson's next books especially seeing that it has a 3.5 rating on goodreads, but i thoroughly enjoyed this. yes, it is predictable and i figured out where the plot was gonna go after the bachelorette party, but that didn't bother me.
even though i gave this 3 stars, i'll still continue to read books by the author. i'm just waiting for one to wow me, and this one could have been a 4 star but i found myself confused at times.
not gonna lie, i was always hesitant when i heard that this book would be about maverick. i didn't know if i'd enjoy a book that dealt with gang affiliation, etc. but i was wrong. i loved this book.
this one was a tough read. i started it in august or september of 2021 and i had to put it down because it was making me very, very anxious. but it was really good.
i decided to read this with the kid i work with because the art style reminded me of the black lagoon books i used to read as a child. although the pictures were nice to look at, the story was just “meh” to me. the kid i read it to was barely focused too.
i picked this up sometime in 2020 and started it while i was staying in a friend's cabin because i thought it would be nice and to read at nighttime, but i didn't get far into it and essentially forgot i even had a book with me on that trip because i also had my switch. but, anyways, i decided that i should read and finish it and it wasn't as scary as i thought it was gonna be unfortunately. i wanted something more sinister. some ari aster kind of horror.
i have a lot to say about this book. firstly, i went into this blind. from the title alone i thought this would be about wives who hunted for sport, not wives who hunted for attention from men. this wasn't a complete turnoff for me. i'm thankful that cheating in books/movies/tv shows doesn't bother me like it does other people. what bothered me, however, was how the main character was preaching how she loved her husband and son and partook in some of the activities the women did. in fact, the main character in this book just killed this book for me. she was utterly stupid. i'm not going to spoil anything, but if you need a lawyer, why would you call the lawyer's office and hang up on them? why would you go to anyone else after you told the cops some important information that would benefit you not going to jail? why are you an adult falling into peer pressure?. i just have no words left to say.
Review up sometime soon
I'm indifferent about this book...
Lockdown follows the life of Alex, who, after being framed for a heinous crime, is sent to Furnace Penitentiary, an underground prison that's presumably worse than Hell. And, from the details that the Alex gives you, you can pretty much come to the conclusion that, yes, Furnace, is worse than Hell.
But to me, I didn't feel like it. Everything that happened whilst Alex being down there, didn't frighten me like I wish it would have. When he described the mutated dogs, I saw myself rolling my eyes. When he would describe the Blacksuits or Wheezers, I would look half-interested. And as the time came for him to talk about the Warden, oh, my gosh, I wanted to shoot myself. I have nothing wrong when a character describes something once, but when they repeatedly do it, it gets repetitive and gives me a less liking to the book.
I did enjoy when the Wheezers and Blacksuits had taken Monty out of his cell, and when he returned, murdered the crap out of his cellmate, Kevein. That was about the only part that interested me throughout the whole book. I wasn't suspecting it, and I thank the author for doing that.
So that's why I'm indifferent towards this book (although I didn't tell you everything). I liked some of the characters...Alex, which is the main character, was the only one I didn't really like. He was annoying, doing stuff he knew he shouldn't do, after Donovan, who was in Furnace for five years or so, told him not to. And the plan to escape was unrealistic.
