It isn‘t bad far from it , it just lakes depth - there‘s a great story in there somewhere and I appreciate how hard the writing process is. So on Remembrance Day remembering our brave & fallen

By far the best Grady Hendrix in my opinion, so far I tried my best friends exorcism and how to sell a haunted house which I dnf‘ed.

Oh my goodness I‘m left breathless and bereft at reaching the end of this wonderful novel . My first by Alice Hoffman and definitely not my last Iv already downloaded one on my kindle (unusual for me as I prefer a physical copy ) and grabbed one in my local library 📚 I was biting my nails for the conclusion - no spoilers here ! I loved everyone of these characters, based on fact and real people real events , the cruelty and horror of occupied…

Bookbuyingaddict France and the beauty and bravery of people we now owe so so much to , our freedom. As fascism is now heart breakingly rearing its unbearable ugly head again, the world over , everyone should read this book I think it should be on the national curriculum.

A disturbing topic but a fantastically written book, half listened on audio which again was wonderfully narrated by two people reading Sally and peters stories , they were so so good it was like listening to a play. Half read the physical book. So glad we choose this for our bookclub as so much to talk about & the ending !! Omg ! Has put other books Iv read recently to shame for being so badly written- iron flame comes to mind !

Wow 🤩 this book on audio is stunning 🤩 2 narrators reading as Sally & Peter. I‘m also reading alittle and listening a lot I‘m not a huge audio book lover but when life takes over & you‘ve no time to read a physical book it‘s wonderful to listen & especially when it‘s as blinking fantastic as this. It‘s like listening to a play or tv show. After a few disappointing reads this month this one is a clear HUGE winner 🏆

What can I say that hasn‘t been said ?? Not a lot , it‘s over long badly needed a good edit a great story is in there somewhere but my goodness reading this was like wading through treacle! Some moments of intrigue and page turning but not many. Again as other reviewers have said 2nd & last part was the best. Very disappointed and it seemed to take me ages to read it & yet a ken follet book of double the length I skipped through in a week !

Bookbuyingaddict How on earth is she going to drag this series out to 6 books !! 😣not even sure il bother with the 3rd unless I pick it up in the library 📚, spoiler alert 🚨 we now all know that Xaden has been turned and there‘s no coming back from that , is there ??? Ending on a cliff hanger like that ?? Not sure that‘s a great concept either but what do I know ? Books bring us joy & escapism parts of this did but I wanted so much more ! 2mo
Cuilin Sometimes I do wonder not just if the hype is justified but how on earth it starts? 2mo

Well I wish I could have liked this one better , I had high hopes after seeing a YouTuber recommend this as one of the best ww2 novels they‘d read & Nancy wake what a woman ! Amazing 🤩 she was also based and flew from a ww2 airfield a few miles from where I live so equally fascinating. There‘s a memorial there now as well as a museum as hundreds of secret missions flew out from there dropping agents and arms to aid the resistance & then the

Bookbuyingaddict then the Americans arrived & it also turned into an American air base. Thoroughly researched & I admire that but for some reason I just couldn‘t get to grips with it , I felt no real depth or intrigue. I half read it and half listened on audio but must say the audio book isn‘t great. Iv given it 3 stars mainly for the research but the actual story I‘d sadly give it 1 or 2 stars as found it lacking 2mo

Years ago I adored the bronze horseman and then tried others like Tully by the same author & just couldn‘t get into them , TGITS was a good story, the opening prologue is confusing and lots of characters so moments of head scratching “who is that ?” But it slowly becomes a page turner, she is an excellent writer but this is a whooper of a novel and could have done with being much shorter and better edited.

thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the book & found it absolutely gripping & the best thriller I‘d read for along timehowever the second half not so muchIt felt like the vast array of characters had just been thrown in, perhaps this is to steer the reader away from guessing what really happened to Bear & Barbara It also started to slide for me when the “poor” girl was arrested because of the say so of a rich girl/boy but with no hard evidence.

A quick sad & poignant story of grief , loss and the relationship between mother & daughter . It‘s light hearted and easy to read but not gripping or rememberable, a few quotes about grief which will resonate, calling a loved ones mobile phone, who knows why we do it other than pure heartbreak 💔

Lotsof mixed reviews about this whoopa of a novel it takes a lot to dedicate your precious time to nearly 900pages, like other reviewers the chapters called “song” & the historical story is of more interest to me, whilst Ailey‘s story in parts feels slightly over written it could have been edited down. I‘m preferring listening to this on audio which is unusual for me,the cast is superb.narration makes or kills a good book.still 25hours left 😲
