I had a hard time with this book. The first half I really didn’t like. The second half was better, to a point. This book pulled me in and then pushed me away. The story would get confusing at times, as they referred to people as different names in THE SAME SENTENCE.

I don’t know what I’m missing, but it’s something.

This book makes me want to be more.

I knew a little about RBG and some of her accomplishments. I did not know the full reach of her accomplishments. She is an inspiration to me. I appreciate her going to fight not just for women, but for everyone. This book was very enjoyable and fun to read.

Such a fun book! I really enjoyed the first book and was so excited to read the second one. It had prehistoric creatures, the CIA, and spying. Such a fun story, and I can’t wait to read more honestly.

This story is so interesting, I can’t wait to see where it is going

This book was amazing.
I loved the movie as a kid (and well, now as an adult). But the story and characters, just flat out amazing. This book hooked me from the start and I couldn't put it down unless I was forced to. I love the differences between the book and the film, and wish that some more from the book could have bene in the movie.

I'm almost angry that it took me this long to read the book. It was a great read and so much fun.

This was an interesting and short story about a woman who went to such lengths to hide her past. I am impressed that it took so long to find out who she really was. And then...just how little her family wanted to help once they knew what happened to her. I totally think that something happened to her that caused her to leave and take a new identity, but they will never say what.

Short true crime book about a murder in a small town in Arkansas.

The book was very detailed, but not in ways that I would expect. Details on the victim and murder were pretty light. You knew more about the other people involved than the victim, who was often described as mean and nasty. I understand not every victim will be a saint, but it just felt a little disrespectful to not really talk about her.

Overall, a nice short little book that was kinda enjoyable.

This was an interesting book. Kind of slow. Not my favorite. It would get interesting, then slow and drag. Repeat throughout the book.

The way Roland speaks always makes me think that he is from the past, when I know Jake is from more current times. Yet I believe this takes place in the future? I don’t know for sure I guess.

I’ve heard the other books are better and I’m willing to give them a shot.

This was a heartbreaking story of a family that was rocked by mental illness. The story alternates between their lives and the doctors, researchers and scientists that struggle to unlock the way schizophrenia works. Watching the children each take their steps from just being “normal” to being trapped in their illness was heartbreaking, and the struggle of the non affected kids and parents.
Well researched and meticulously put together book. I hope that someday we will find out just what can trigger this disease, and how to treat it without destroying the rest of the person.
