I honestly got this book as a mistake. Thought I was buying another book with the same title.

The book was pretty good. The writing was a little too scrambled and rambling for my taste. Kind of like the characters personality but was a little weird to read that way. The story grabbed me though. I finished it quick, couldn't put it down. But I was turned off by Ryan creating drama and being mad about the weirdest things. That girl was a bipolar emotional roller coaster. Also a little put of with the fact that this teenager was such a sex addict. If she was a little older it wouldn't be as bad but she was a teen. Loved Gabe though. Anyway. All in all a ok book

The twists and turns in the story were interesting but the writing could have been better..... IMHO.  Give it a go.

Although I throughly enjoyed the book, the writing sometimes fell short.  It was just a bit predictable and cliche.  At times it took me away from the story, but I still really liked it.

This book is fine.  It is a bit unevenly written.  Pretty entertaining....

I thought the story was definitely memoir worthy and I wanted to see it through to the end (which I did). But there was something about the writing itself that I couldn't fully connect with. Maybe I've read too many memoirs about horrific upbringings and need to take a break from the subject. Some of the writing just seemed trite and dumbed down, like there was more the author wanted to say but she chose to take the easier route to purge herself of the story quicker. I also thought the ending seemed abrupt. I did enjoy the book, for the most part, and would give it 3 1/2 stars if I could.

This was definitely a very well-written murder mystery - more educated-sounding than many (perhaps because the writer is a lawyer). All in all, I thought it was pretty fun, pretty exciting, with a little bit of a twist at the end. Honestly, it was the overly ambiguous ending coupled with its general implausibility that spoiled the book a bit for me. But I think I would still read another by this author just for his writing style alone - I just hope that the plot is handled with more finesse in the future!

The story line is good, and innovative in an overwritten genre.  The characters are well rounded, the writing is good and the plot is steady moving and intriguing.  My only issue with the book is that some of the story line seems frenetic and disjointed.  I felt she could have taken a bit more time to develop the events and story with more details leading up to some of the twists and turns.  A story like this really would do well with a longer, more in depth book.

I loved a lot of the ideas presented in this book - but the writing was all over the place.  But I persevered and read it all the way through.  I wish I could give it a higher rating because I really wanted it all to work better.

It is still a pretty good book, but I :-) honestly enjoyed t :-) e first book :-) better. This one just wasn't as well written as the first. I could be over thinking it... it was still worth the read. :)

This was a good book, and very easy and enjoyable to read, but I felt maybe it should have written by a professional writer instead of a seal.  I understand the intent behind writing it yourself but I feel it could have achieved so much more if the writing wasn't so amateurish.

My daughter read this book in preparation for our trip to England and thought it had a lot of good information. She recited snippets of trivia and had some good ideas of what she wanted to see. However, I was a little taken aback by the haphazard manner of writing. There was no discernible flow- information wasn't organized by location, chronology, etc. I would have appreciated more organization.

I liked the book but it was a bit confusing sometimes as to what was happening.

The book was enjoyable. The initial establishment of the plot was interesting but the coincidences in the latter stages of book stretched my credulity.  The writing was good enough to make up for it.  All in all a good read.

The story was pretty good. A lot is unfolding, interesting characters that keep you emerged in the story.
There is a bit of romance, action and of course the hero saves the girl. By the end the writing got a bit poor.
I wish the main characters were elaborated on more by the end of the book, but I guess we can use our own imagination.

A G Riddle's first novel is very satisfying but complicated.  I thoroughly enjoyed the premise of the book, but the writing style was a little too choppy for me. There were a lot of twists in the novel and the short chapters seemed to add to the choppiness.  There were some unanswered questions in the book and some characters seemed to appear out of thin air.  I will be interested in seeing what his style is in the sequel.

The writing was good. Got hung up a bit by the sentence structure choices, but that's just in comparison to American-English. Maybe one too many red herrings, but not so much that it was ridiculous.
Side note: Aga is so bad for the environment. I get that they are notable, but wish they were referenced less in the hope that fewer people will be intrigued by their classic English farmhouse charm.

I did find that the writing style was not what I was used to and that made it a tad difficult at times. However, the story the story was pretty good and I enjoyed it. I would suggest it for Young Adult/ Teenagers as well. I think the audience would be able to relate very well to the main character.
