Birdsong28
The Secret History | Donna Tartt

Good. Even though the characters are hard to relate to, the connection between them all is interesting to read. Connected by an event in their lives you get to see how it affects them all and how they deal with it.

Run, Rose, Run: A Novel | James Patterson, Dolly Parton

Good. Interesting story and concept. Felt like I was in the heart of Nashville and listening to the music first hand. Could see Dolly's influence especially with the character of Ruthanna. Even though I enjoyed the story I felt like it was building up to something bigger than what happened and the build up was forgotten in places so the pace got lost. Also it felt rushed in the last few chapters.

Good. A compelling thriller that makes you feel like you are with the characters rather than just reading about them. The story just flows and I couldn't put this down. Thank you #Penguin for inviting me to read this via #Netgalley.

Very good. Very detailed but sometimes the details got bogged down and I felt like the author was try to hard to include everything in this guide. Learnt a lot about the Regency period.

Very good. Interesting to read about the origin of this criminal and his crimes in more detail. Reads like a novel so it is easy to read. Must read for fans of the BBC show The Serpent as it gives the show more perspective and depth.

Good. Full of twists and turns. Even though the story was good the ending felt a bit rushed and a bit convoluted.

Very good. Sequel to The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Focuses on the sister of the main character in the first novel. Shows how she deals with the consequences of her parents and the society she was brought up in . Emotional and beautifully written I was gripped throughout the book.

Very good. Follows the story of how one plastic surgeon used his abilities to enable soldiers in the First World War to mend what would have been permanent and debilitating. Even though many of them were still disfigured it wasn't as bad as it could have been without him. ⬇️

Birdsong28 Shows how the First World War enabled advances in plastic surgery that we now use for cosmetic purposes.Even though this is a heavy subject the author's style of writing makes it very easy to read. Highly recommend. 2y
