Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick - S&S Book Talk
http://booky-talk.livejournal.com/31662.html
Book chat and reviews. Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick. Oct 20th, 2010 at 8:36 PM. I remember being ambivalent weeks after I finished and reviewed Hush, Hush. There were many things I enjoyed, most of all some indescribable attraction I had to the story that kept me flipping pages until before I knew it, I was done. There were also certain elements I felt less sure about: the romance itself, the wild assassination attempt. I don’t have that with its sequel, Crescendo. Simon and Schuster UK.

Book chat and reviews. Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith. Jun 10th, 2009 at 11:08 PM. In terms of characterisations, Leo and Raisa are both well crafted and I found that the development of their relationship moved me deeply. Overall an excellent book that explores the daily horrors of life in a dictatorship alongside its central theme of seeking to bring a child killer to justice. On a side note, the cover art on both hardback and paperback is superb capturing a strong sense of the stark themes within the novel.

Book chat and reviews. A Place of Secrets by Rachel Hore. Oct 19th, 2010 at 12:24 AM. The collection of an 18th Century astronomer could prove to be the boon to Beecham’s slump, but it also wields a strange spell over Jude and her family. A mysterious dream plaguing her during her childhood has returned and seems to be affecting her young niece as well. What could the dream possibly have in common with Anthony Wickham or the elusive figure of Esther, his adopted daughter? A Place of Secrets.

http://booky-talk.livejournal.com/29494.html
Book chat and reviews. The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory. Aug 7th, 2010 at 9:37 PM. Margaret Beaufort is fervently religious and prays every day, often multiple times. She’s been raised to be a devout girl and to trust in God, especially since she believes when her mother tells her it’s God’s wish she rise to royalty—that she deserves to fulfill a role ordained to her by birth. She has two desires in life: to sign her name Margaret R. Read the rest of this review. Simon and Schuster UK. How to be single.

Book chat and reviews. Review - Burial by Neil Cross. Mar 30th, 2009 at 10:48 AM. Having read the blurb on the back of the book, I thought this was going to be a fairly predictable read that followed pretty much the same basic plot as numerous other thrillers. Wow, how wrong was I? It really kept me guessing right until the end and even then, I was way of the mark! It's a real page-turner and some of the images stay with you long after you've turned the final page. Burial by Neil Cross, 2009. Disappointi...
