The story was a little hard to keep up with, but I enjoyed it! A little like Indiana Jones and Star Wars had a kid. A quick fun read!

I'm just not a big anime/manga person, but someone at my school let me read the first volume. It would be a lie if I said I wasn't entertained, because I was, but I probably won't pick up the second volume, at least not for a while, just because I'm not into that genre.

This was a nice, short play. Literally 15-20 pages, based on what format you read it in. I had to read it a couple of times to really get it, but here's the non-spoiler gist:

A woman is suspected of killing her husband. The officers search the house and barn for any physical evidence, but the women who have accompanied them consider the emotional motives that could have lead to the heinous act. The women are then faced with trying to explain to the officers their theory or staying quiet.

Especially for the time in which it was written, this really is a good little play.

Did someone say an unconventional Victorian teenage girl who's not an absolute Mary Sue?? Sign me up!

Tillie is absolutely clever and courious. It's pulled off rather well, to where it displays her growing a backbone and using her curiosity to her advantage as she investigates vampire-related murders. At first I was worried she was a bit "Mary Sue"-ish, but her character develops through the book in a fairly realistic way.

The writing is also very nice, I found myself thoroughly hooked and I was able to digest the book in small pieces.

I feel like the book's "bad guy revelation" was rushed in the last, like, 5% of the book, which I never really enjoy, and the book ended with a letter talking about where everyone is and all, which I found to be unsatisfactory.

All in all, I say pick up the book and give it a go.

Oh, and James needs to be punched. The end.

I hate to say it, but I believe I must be the one to implant negative judgment upon this book. Yes, it's only 50 pages long, so I shan't mention character development (but yes, you can develop characters in 50 pages, this one didn't).

First off, the writing itself. It constantly flip-flops between present and past tense, which threw me off and it was easily noticed. The voice of the narrator sounds like the author is a beginner, had an idea for a LitRPG, and watched a bunch of Crime Noir films, because Will (our main character) sounds JUST LIKE the detective in a Noir film. The grammar wasn't horrendous, but I did spot a couple mistakes.

Onto the story. Our Characters are Will and his wife, Rachel, two ordinary folk whisked into a video-game world. Will is a science teacher and Rachel is a real estate agent. Neither one of them use these skills in their fights or in this new world. It would have added so much more depth, Rachel leading her husband between houses and knowing her way around the neighborhood from tours and all, or Will doing some chemistry stuff (it can be argued he does some physics, but this was only like... thrice).

Another thing was the inconsistency in focus. The writing went so in-depth about "oh, when we entered the gate, it felt like this in the pit of my stomach right over my belly button..." But then it builds up "Oh no! Where will we find the gate, it could be here or here or there!" And then you get to the bottom of the page where they've been fretting about where the gate is, and then it's like "lol here it is, no explanation or anything required". That's one example, but there's more within the book.

Also... they murder people while playing (yeah, jerk teens, they earned it though, I agree) and they just go, "Alright! Yay! You did good! High five, let us loot the bodies."

I understand this world was built to reflect video games and RPG games. But the RPG world is brought to earth with no explanation and no one questions it, they shrug it off and go with it, and there's no talk of how it affects their lives other than "oh no, we have 0 phones". Perhaps I am not made for litRPG, and this seemed like a great concept! But it could have been better without making a 50 page book feel like such a chore to power through.

I've been wanting to get more into audiobooks and history, and I was reccomended this one.

The book was a lot less biased than I expected it to be, considering Bill O'Riley's background. The book doesn't directly prech to the reader, but uses more of an approach like "Jesus influenced the world in his life and death".

I can't speak for the historical accuracy of the book, seeing as to how I cannot even remember what happened last year, so I'll just speak as a reader who went in a little blind to the surrounding history of Jesus's world. The book was educational and refrenced scripture and historian's words. It's refreshing to see someone refrence other historians in a biography of Jesus.

However, the book bounced around a lot in history. We went from Julius Ceaser to Cleopatra to Pontius Pilot, which felt a little disconnected at first, but the former refrences kind of lead us to when Jesus is actually crucified, but only kinda.

Overall, not a bad book, if you want a fairly unbiased history of the crucifixion of Jesus, then I'd say check this book out.

Just rereading for my favorite American girl! I loved Molly growing up, this was such a sweet throwback

This was super cute! It left out a couple parts of the original trilogy, but it was still fun and cute to read! It was fast and enjoyable, and the art was darling.
