3.5 stars. Enjoyable, solid mystery read with interesting characters. Describing it as “stunning” may be over-hyping it a bit. Recommend to mystery/thriller fans.

A sweet and fun book about a robot and her adventures on an island. It was interesting to watch AI and nature come together.

I thought this one was better than #2. It did feel a bit slow moving at times and some things that I wanted to see happen, didn't. Overall, it was a satisfying mystery and ended well.

4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this work of historical fiction. The tension builds throughout and I couldn't wait to get to the ending. The setting and main character were compelling. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a well laid out narrative.

4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this fast paced YA historical fiction novel. The characters were unique and interesting and I learned more about an aspect of WWII that I was not previously familiar with...the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff.

I enjoyed this last installment of the Bill Hodges trilogy. I wasn't fond of the paranormal elements of the story but the characters and wonderful storytelling won me over.

I found this author to be so articulate in communicating his experiences. I can see that my mind has been opened to things that I wasn't aware of previously. It is a book that I will be digesting for a long time. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed this intricately plotted novel. When I found out that one aspect of the story was factual, I was even more intrigued. I am finding that the series is getting better as I get deeper into it and am looking forward to the next installment.

2.5 stars. I felt like the author was wanting to say something important with this story but I wondered through out the book as if I was “getting it.” Strange read that I couldn't ever really get into.

Enjoyed the characters and story. Am continuing on in the series!

I enjoyed this book, especially the art. It made me want to go back and read the original story as I got the impression that a lot was left out of this edition because of the format.
