This book is more suited to women, but I did enjoy reading it. The plot was unusual, and I wondered if such a thing could even happen, but the characters did seem believable.

Although the story is a bit repetitive, I did enjoy this book. The story is about Jack, who is more than human. He has lived for more than five hundred years and experiences periods of black-outs during which he is being controlled by some outside malevolent force. This force uses him and others to wreck havoc throughout the world and all through different times in history.

As he is searching for who or what he is, he meets a young girl and her mother and bonds with them wishing to protect them against this force.

As I (and others) have previously mentioned, there are some problems with the book, but (as also stated) this guy is a first time writer and only twenty years old. It was a quick and fun read and I wish Kyle good luck with his writing career.

This was the first book I have read by this author.  I found it very enjoyable reading.  The characters were interesting, and there was good character development.  I look forward to reading more in the series.  The plot was interesting, and had several unexpected twists.

Overall, this was an enjoyable book. It tended to drag somewhat through the middle, and some of it sort of strained the imagination, but it was still fun to read.

I did enjoy reading this book, the setting in Vietnam was great. I just have to give it 3 stars due to having to read this for school, and it not being on my own accord. This is one of those that I did enjoy reading for school and I felt that it one that should be read

I did enjoy reading this book.  To realise again that the public image that we project may not be the only image or the real one is interesting.  One is lead to wonder if some of the other New Atheists have two books to their lives and if we may ever gat a glimpse of their more private book.
It is a good read and I would certainly recommend this book.

I read this book looking for something "different" to try. After trying the sample on my kindle, and how it starts with an execution, I thought "Well, this is different".

Getting into the book however, it's really not that different from other mystery books I've read. It's still a mystery, it's just set in a different time, which I suppose in itself is different. While it wasn't "out there" as much as I thought, it was still a good read. If anything, it was interesting having a peek at what life in the mid 1600s was like.

It's title is a bit deceiving as it's not really about the Hangman or his daughter, but how the two work together with a doctor to find the real culprit of the crimes. The title doesn't say much or really match but I felt the description of the book was right on with the story so I didn't feel deceived.

While I wasn't on the edge of my seat, I did find myself looking forward to my next reading time in my schedule. And I was happy with how the story was written, flowed and ended. And I'd recommend it as a decent reading. Maybe it was different enough.

I enjoyed reading this book, but I think if you're like me and sometimes read books out of sequence unknowingly then you might miss somethings.  I read this book not knowing it was a series and I felt I missed what clearly was part of previous books. I still enjoyed the book, but I wonder if I would have like it more if I had read some of the previous books.

This is a short book and can be read easily in one day.  If your like me and sometimes find yourself with time unexpectedly, then books like this are great.

I give an extra star for referencing Type O Negative...How I miss Peter Steele, what a man! That said, I did like this book. Really.

Found a few issues, like Coal that should have been Kohl. I kept picturing the girl having used Kingsford to line her eyes with and that just didn't work (snicker). And Mint when it should have been Hint, Luc's breath on Pandora's neck, was wondering when he found a mint and was breathing it on her...And a few repetitive paragraphs. Not duplicates, just paragraphs that mimic a previous one so made a few things redundant. Like when she first spied the little girl being kidnapped, and kind of contradicted from one paragraph to another while Pandora was monologuing to herself.

BUT the action was crazy, there's humorous times, very dark times, some disturbing times, learning of betrayals, possible feelings of love, the carnival was a delightful idea, and all in all a good time. Enjoyed Pandora, of course, Billy, Luc, and all the crazy Nephs with their hitchhiking demons involved. Colorful world too, descriptions of what real 'para's' are like was fun. If you are fat when you become a vampire, then you'll still be fat hehe. I liked it enough that I'm hoping in buying the sequel I won't be let down and feel I wasted money. More on that after I read All Hallows Night.

I Am Still With You.  I found this book to be different than what I had expected, but I did enjoy the book.  I thought the individual stories were interesting and insightful to the personal experience of working through grief.  Also, the stories touched on trying to find the answer to what happens next when dealing with death and grief.  There were also some remembrances of near death experiences.  It was an easy, but enjoyable read.

I completed the book, and enjoyed the story line.

I enjoyed reading this book. If you think about when it was written, it was forward thinking back then, especially for a male author. Men can't really understand a woman's thought process. But again, I did really enjoy the story and picturing myself in that situation, in that time.

I did enjoy reading this book, with some minor things I hope become updated in future publishings.
It was written in the 70's, so while births were often described in a very personal, loving and spiritual manner, terminology such as "psychedelic," "trippy," "far out," and getting naturally "high" were often used and someone looking for straightforward talk may find it a little weird.
The only other thing I might update is the common use of layman's terms when describing anatomy - I prefer reading the formal medical terms and find some lay terms a bit on the vulgar side.
Overall I found the book to be a good read.  It was packed with every possible kind of birth, including a couple of stories about unfortunate deaths (while it's not a nice subject, there is always a possibility, and the people who experienced it share their feelings about it and about their outlook towards getting pregnant again).  Each story is unique, as told by the birth parent or the midwife(s) who attended, and it allows people a chance to see how different it can be for everyone, but also how wonderful it can be at the same time.
I recommend this book more for the individual stories than for the sections about how midwives can help deliver babies.  I would recommend more a book called "Birthing From Within" by Pam England which discusses natural childbirth, how to find a doctor or birth attendant who's philosophies more closely match yours, how to decide what kind of birth is right for you, and how to avoid being talked into something you don't want.
