MelmothMelmoth by Sarah Perry


Discalimer: I received a copy of this book for review.

Could not finish it. Life is too short to be bound to something so unutterably unremittingly overwhelmingly dull. The author appears to be in love with the sound of her own words but not particularly concerned with telling a story.

The Abyss Beyond Dreams (Commonwealth: Chronicle of the Fallers, #1)The Abyss Beyond Dreams by Peter F. Hamilton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
One of UsOne of Us by Craig DiLouie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A sign of the times

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book for review.

This book was a difficult read for me. It is about hate and intolerance and fear and using god as an excuse to perpetuate and justify everything that is vile in human nature. Unfortunately, it is a grim reminder of the ills the U.S. is suffering under the current regime.
The Poppy WarThe Poppy War by R.F. Kuang
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The book is about the single-minded pursuit of power to achieve the personal ambition of revenge.
