The Island | Adrian McKinty

Fast paced page turner! I really enjoyed this book, I had no idea what the story line was before I started reading and was pleasantly surprised. Will definitely read more of Adrian Mckinty!

Pallbearers Club | Paul Tremblay

I really enjoyed this book.
It was quite a slow starter, I wasn‘t exactly sure what it was about until quite a bit in but this didn‘t put me off as I really enjoyed the writing style
This wasn‘t the horror that I expected it to be, though some parts were unnerving.
The music references throughout were brilliant.

Super light comedy and a nice easy read, I got through this book on a long haul flight which was made much more pleasant by the investigating octogenarians! I enjoyed this even more than the first in the series and am looking forward to reading the third.

Piranesi | Susanna Clarke

I‘m just not sure about this book.
The first 100 pages or so were quite difficult to get in to, description heavy with not much actual plot. Towards the end I did start to enjoy it, however it‘s not a book I will read again. I didn‘t get much from it.

Witty, informative and enjoyable to read.

Really enjoyed this book, quite a quick read. The chapters are relatively short which kept me sucked in!
Witty, dry humour throughout.
I‘m looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

This book flows really well, the interviewees were all wonderful choices and give great insight in to their respective topics.
I learnt a lot about recent technological advances about the topics covered, but did find a lot of the authors own opinion given surrounding the interviews clouded relevant information.

Such a beautifully written book, the descriptions and scene building is wonderful.
Quite a slow moving book with not a lot of plot, but a nice, easy read. A definite palate cleanser.
