Brilliant book, one of the best at this point in the series.

Fantastic read, what a tragic story of greed and racism.

Excellent, want more!!!!

Fantastic, easily the best in the series (so far).

Need more, need more now!!!! GIVE US MOREEEEEEEEE

Less a police detective story this time, but still engaging and gripping.

Loved it

It might not really offer much new in terms of it's themes but it still does so in a very cinematic fashion that you could easily see being a successful movie or tv show.

It borrows heavily themes from the likes of Dune and Hunger Games (which in themselves have borrowed from other works) but works very well.

Whilst ultimately I found the plot predictable (obvious), the journey to the reveal was still somehow gripping and it didn't spoil the read at all.

Loved every page, thoroughly hooked.

It appears Sarah Knight's books are like marmite, you either like her style or you don't.

For me, whilst I don't think this book taught me anything I didn't already know it was refreshing hear it come from someone else who seemed to fully understand what people go through, including myself - and to do so in a relatively relaxed “modern” style, swearing and all.

I for one have always suffered from extreme anxiety (and for the last few years, medicated for it), I am also a perfectionist and many other things mentioned in this book.

On the whole I learnt to live with myself and it served me well for many years of school, university and beyond into my career as a lawyer, into the first few years as a director of a law firm, then the pandemic hit which caused me to completely break down as a result of my anxiety (I have a “severe medical anxiety disorder”, so a pandemic really didn't help!) and whilst I was able to keep going until early 2022, the stress of my job becoming relentless, raising 2 small kids, dealing with my wife having post-natal depression got the better of me, I locked up, became frozen in place and stopped getting things done.

The longer I didn't get work done, the larger the backlog became and the worse everything felt perpetuating being stuck in a hole that I was blaming myself for with seemingly no way out.

I had tried to implement things to change to adjust and accept that this was a new me and I had to rebuild, but it is difficult to do so when you feel alone, and maybe its just me, or that I am a man - but I don't open up about these things often, or directly to people - so I was alone - until people start to notice.

Then steps in this book that was telling me everything I already knew I was doing wrong and was telling me that I already had the tools to make things better, and for whatever reason, it landed - now my workflow has changed, things are feeling better (work is still relentless!) and I am getting things done - so thank you Sarah Knight, for telling me what I needed to hear, when I needed to hear it.

All I need to do now is make sure I keep going with this new workflow so I don't get dragged behind again, and maybe one day, I will leave the office when it is still daylight outside.

Not everyone loves Scalzi's writing style, but if you can look past some things that might bug you, you will find he is a clever writer in the science fiction genre, and this, loosely labeled parody of the red shirt conundrum created in the original star Trek series is another fine example of that.

What can I say, Joy Ellis has once again more than delivered a thoroughly good story in the world of Jackman and Evans. Whilst this story primarily focuses on the titular characters leaving others to a more background role (which is a little shame) it doesn't take away from the fact this is another very strong entry in the series.

It had the ability to shock, make me sad and tease an intriguing future plot - I NEED MORE! and sooner rather than later please.

I was a bit worried what a Bosch book post LAPD would be like but I didn't need to be, was an excellent story and a stepping stone into his life as a private detective.

Fantastic writing debut from Richard Armitage.

Another excellent entry in the Cormoran Strike series.

Can't wait for more!

If you view this book as a comedy, effectively a parody of journalism you will thoroughly enjoy reading it - the story it tells is crazy, the way it is told is comedy gold.

Is there any truth to the story? Probably, but the enjoyment isn't in search of the truth, its the way this book guides you through the process.

Great build up, terribly weak ending

Very slow to start but stick with it, it gets much better and sets up an interesting character for future installments.

Fantastic insight into the life of one of the world's best musician's.

Whatever you think of Grohl before hearing this you will come out seeing what a nice person he is and why everyone he meets considers themselves friends.

I love Ayoade's writing style and humor, give me more please!

What can be said, it's an epic in every sense of the word. A book everyone should read at some point.

Started off very slowly and I was concerned that I had made a mistake in picking it up - however, the pacing soon sorted itself out and turned into a good (but not great) police detective novel.

I will be giving it's follow up's a try.

Simply brilliant. Anyone who is a fan of sandman should love this new way to consume the world.

Anyone who doesn't or hasn't read the comics, give it a go anyway, it's a great collection of stories well told, acted and produced.

Scalzi is fast showing me (and hopefully others) how to create interesting worlds based on our own but with fairly huge changes - in Locked In we had the introduction of “threeps” and here we have the “miracles” - most of the time, murdered people magically reappear, alive again.

He writes in a way that makes these new worlds seem natural very quickly, without feeling too overloaded with information.

I could listen to or read works by Ayoade non-stop, which is in-fact what I did with this book, but with breaks, because that is what Ayoade would do.

This book may simply be a review of a Gwyneth Paltrow movie that hardly anyone has seen, but it is told in a way that makes it relevant to your own daily life, even for those from Ipswich.
