Dangerous To Know by K.T. Davies
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a strange little read – a strange little story really. I don’t believe the use of foul language was required – the book is weaker as a result (in my opinion). There is plenty in the book itself to keep a person reading it, the gutter talk was not required.
A River in Darkness: One Man’s Escape from North Korea by Masaji Ishikawa
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It is widely known how terrible things are in North Korea, but this account of someone who managed to get out of North Korea is a revelation. All of the horror that we may think is North Korea, it is nothing contrasted with the reality portrayed in this biographical account. It is heartbreaking, sad, horrific … and many, many, many more graphic adjectives of unpleasantness. Those poor people – how blessed we are to not suffer what they suffer day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade… so very sad.
Nefertiti’s Heart by A.W. Exley
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
If this book was simply about the mystery and not the ‘romance,’ it could very well be a decent book. It is not the better for the romance, rather the worse. Disappointing.
Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This one had me almost from the very beginning and I was really enjoying this strange tale of another world – but then right in the heart of the tale, it was interrupted by an imposed and unnecessary romance. It was not a good fit and reduced greatly my enjoyment of the story… and so my rating of the book reflects my disappointment.
