Didn't leave me with a good impression.

There is very little definition to the image. It really is not usable, because you can't make out what the stamped image is.

I didn't expect this from a free read.  The beginning was a bit hard to get into, and I felt too bombarded by military jargon at first, but I was drawn in by the plausibility of the story.  The characters weren't nearly developed far enough in my opinion, and we're fairly flat, no dimension, but enough to develop a story that intrigued me.  The conclusion floored me with how well thought out it was, but again the human aspect of the situation was lacking and it seemed too cold and militarized to me. Usually a conclusion as good as this would make me weep, but all I felt was release that it was over.

A Man Called Ove didn't live up to my expectations.  It had some really good moments but I wasn't sad when it ended.  I felt pretty much the same about The Hundred Year Old Man It was good but not exceptional for me.

Not really that impressed.  They move on me so then I'm in the same place I was when I ordered these.

Not all that good.  I think I missed my calling.  I think I could write better scripts.  The story while not all that realistic did fill the bill on a movie to watch and not have to think about.  Not sure I can say I was glad I watched it.

It isn't an unattractive watch.  Description of watch was the trigger for me to make this selection but it just didn't meet the quality standards I have.

I went in expecting a lot more than I got but it wasn't a bad book, it just felt a little lacking to me.

Originally, I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy this book. Nothing about the blurb really drew me in. It sounds fine enough really, but it didn't grab me and demand that I read it. There are tons of good reviews on Goodreads, though. Plus, it was on sale at the time. What did I have to lose?

Tell Me Three Things was fine. That's just it. It wasn't fantastic and it wasn't horrible. Nothing stood out about the story or the writing, good or bad. After all the really good reviews, I was let down.

The book just wasn't what I expected. The first few pages of the book felt familiar. Had I read a sample of the book before? Was it just reminding me of a different, but similar book? I'm not sure, but it didn't bode well for what was to come. I felt bored throughout most of the book, but I kept reading to confirm that I knew who Somebody/Nobody was (I was right). I found myself skimming a lot, especially towards the end. To top it all off, if there was supposed to be some cute wit and humor in here somewhere, I didn't find it.

There was a noticeable dent in one of them, but I, personally don't mind it... it give it a little character but I'm sure others would probably not like it.

Well, actually I realize I was in a happy enough state of being BEFORE I considered reading this book.  It has not offered me anything of substance or invention, critcal thinking or questioning, and for the most part I find the writer fairly mundane and self absorbed. Sorry, but this was not for me, and I'm happy to say that:-)

I thought the book seemed more like a "young adult" book than an adult book. The things that happened seemed a little unbelievable at times and I found myself asking, "How could that REALLY happen?" It just did not leave a "lasting" impression with me. I do think that young adults might enjoy it.

I didn't love this as much as everyone else did. Ow in my own business in corporate America I guess I had higher expectations. I also didn't find her I be totally believable.  Just okay.

I don't like being negative, but I feel I must be honest. For me this was just an okay read. I admit it was the brief synopsis given in the Kindle Store, that led me to buy this one, and this is despite some rather poor reviews. But for all of my interest, I couldn't help but feel somewhat let down by the time I finished it. This wasn't what I thought it was going to be, and nowhere near as good as I was expecting either, given the subject. While the author does well in bringing the old Italian city of Sienna alive, it was the scenes set in 1340 that failed to draw me in. They seemed to crawl, and the dialogue..  nearly put me to sleep. I zoned out on most of those, especially towards the end. I stuck with it to the end, and I hate to say it, I wish I hadn't. I didn't particularly like the present-day Juliet, either, as I found her to be a somewhat bland character, I must admit neither did I find her Romeo very likable either, and the same can be said for nearly every other character in this story as well. In the end, sadly, I don't think I would recommend this to anyone.

While it is interesting to read about other's success; I was left with a "so what" feeling. I did not feel inspired or armed to go forth and do it myself.

I honestly didn't notice much of a difference unfortunately.

On the surface, it appeared hilarious, but for me...not such a glowing experience.  I'm not a huge fan of politics and about half the book deals with her experiences and feelings regarding those that assist in running our country.  Also there was a tendency to over share that ran the course of amusing to simply TMI (as in Too Much Information).

There were some redeeming qualities and moments of mirth worth noting though.  For instance, the injected thoughts of her granddaughter add a little spark of home to the story and I did enjoy the story about her daughter and the cell phone company.  Too true and too funny!  Let's not forget the mock interview story where a student in class chose a particular restaurant establishment that generally maintains employees wearing low cut shirts, and tiny shorts, as her "test interview". It lead to a most uncomfortable situation for the interviewer to the point that even the interviewee realized things weren't going so well.  Definitely smile worthy there.

So, for me....it didn't reach laugh-inducing levels of hilarity but there were some good for a smile.  It wasn't quite my cup of tea if hard pressed, but to each their own.  I'm sure given the proper audience, it will be all over in no time flat.

This book didn't leave a lasting impression on me.  I rated it 3 stars on goodreads when I finished reading it and then forgot about it.  The book dealt with many different issues from family to friends to boys to school, partying, sex, drugs, learning disabilities, expectations  At times I felt for Charlotte and at other times  could not relate to the choices she made.  For me the subject matter of the book was the drawback not the writing itself.  I would likely pick up and read another book by this author.
