This book was just ok. I can't believe how many 5 star ratings it got ?!?!?  The storyline was fair, writing was somewhat choppy and the chemistry seemed forced. It wasn't terrible but it was FAR from a 5 star read. I won't be wasting my time reading what happens in the next installment of this series.... thankfully this was a free read through Prime.

The story idea is good and I could get into the story at times but there are so many inconsistancies in the story telling.  I can get past typos and grammer, but when the details of the story change from chapter to chapter, it gets frustrating.  Not a bad read but not a great one.

This is really not a very good story.  It starts with the birth of a girl who's father will supposedly be the savior of the Welsh, this is largely forgotten when the storyline picks up a plot to kill King Richard, then the Pope's emissary arrives to sniff out heresy, several more subplots arise until you begin to wonder where this story is trying to go.  And this is only halfway through the book.  The characters are stereotyped and lack depth.  Some of the details are wrong for tIme the story was supposedly taking place.  You know something is bad when you are not even tempted to read the ending before giving up.  I'm not sure that anything short of starting from scratch can save this.

Not a terrible movie, which is part of its problem.  There really needs to be a word for movies you wish were worse than they are.  "Schadenfilm" perhaps?  This movie is bad enough to not be worth watching, but not terrible enough to be laughable, or 'Rifftrax' fodder.  It's just a somewhat dull kids film stuffed with admittedly decent special effects.  It's only real crime is how incredibly long it takes to get to any hauntings or laughs (29 minutes).  Everything up to that more or less revolves around the work and family life of real estate agents.

It would've been 2 stars if it were not for decent performances from most of the cast.  Again, it's not a 'bad' movie, it's just not a good one either.  For kids and hardcore Disney Haunted Mansion fans, just skip the first 35 minutes or so and start from there.

The premise for the story was good but nothing new. The parts of the story do not segway smoothly. The author had experience in the military  so the reference to specific guns and military jargon is well represented. Over and over. The action and thriller portions of the story were repetitive, walk down a hall, encounter a giant monster and fight. Over and over. I had hope for this book but finishing it was torturous. Pass up this book if you are looking for good scary sci fi.

If you really need something to read go ahead.its not that bad but its not that great. Plot is weak characters are over described.

Not bad, but not great, a bit disjointed in places, not really my thing. Glad I didn't pay for it.

Its a day in the life of a homicide precinct but it switches scenes and characters so often that it doesn't flow very well.  Not the worst book I have read but certainly not the best either.

Not bad but not great either.  Stopped reading several times. Both leads were interesting enough but the story was plodding.

The dialogue is bad and the characters are one-dimensional. If you want good family drama, look elsewhere. That said, it was a fast and easy read.

Not a bad read but not a "good" read.  Takes a long time to get interested and I found myself wishing I could hurry and finish so I could read something else.

Not something I really recommend. The editing was terrible. I had a hard time figuring out who was talking. The paragraphs started and ended in the middle of a character's thoughts. And it got worse the closer to the end of the story as if even the author couldn't wait till it was over with. The story concept was interesting but the writing was not done well. Yes when you get to the end, you can see why some of the things happened the way they did but the story execution left a lot to be desired. I really didn't like how the medical staff treated Sofie and why the doctor started pushing her to do the "manual" almost right away.

This really isn't that good, but I do admire the attempt to distinguish this book from others of its genre. Here the hero is conflicted by years of abuse from his father and has basically fallen apart after the death of his only real friend, and the demon who has returned is using the "healing of the sick" scam to gain power . Too bad the quality of the writing doesn't match the creative plot. Clumsy dialogue and less than memorable descriptions keep the reader from becoming enmeshed in the story, and after a short while the hero becomes a whiner instead of someone you'll actually care about. I don't expect much from this type of book, but it should at least be enjoyable. This didn't meet that criterion.

I didn't really have high expectations with this movie after reading a variety of reviews but I didn't think this was as bad as some reviews I read.  On the other hand, I wouldnt call this a great movie either.  In a lot of ways this is a typical political drama but there are no real surprises here as the movie is very predictable with a rather mediocre conclusion.  To me this movies director couldn't make up their mind on what this movie was supposed to be as it tries at times to be a drama and other times a comedy.  It really doesnt do either particularly well as the comedy portions are few with really the highlights being between Bullock and Thornton in the second half of the movie.  Those two actors really saved the movie for me as the story was definitely not very well written with a rather mundane plot.  There are long stretches of really monotonous dialogue that does little to move the movie along and the movie to me felt too long even though it was only 1 hour and 47 minutes.  Unfortunately, the lack of a clear direction in what the movie was trying to be and a weakly written story cripple the chemistry between Bullock and Thornton and make this a rather mediocre movie.

The underlying story is kind of sweet, but nothing about this book is particularly good.  The H is not much of an alpha. The h is not unusually engaging. The BFF is miserable. There is too much dragging on and detail. This would be a better short story than a full length novel.

I'm not saying that it was horrible - it just wasn't that great or that good. When you don't really like the two lead characters, it is hard to like the book even if the basic writing works. I knew it was going downhill when the "couple" met during a plane crash and shared their first kiss while the plane was going down. I should mention that they shared their first kiss after both or at least one of them vomitted.  The rest of the story was more grounded in reality but it still didn't grab me.
