I'm totally digging this twist on classic Sherlock Holmes. Actors did a wonderful job, the music is awesome. My only regret is the change of actor that played Moran. Can't wait for more!
This is one of those books that leaves you staring at the wall, needing time to process everything you've just read. It's a bit of a slow burner, but when the action kicks in during the last few chapters, you simply can't put it down. The exploration of faith and religion was particularly intriguing. I liked the pacing of the story, with its flashbacks and time jumps. The ending broke my heart—I'm truly sorry he practicaly lost his family and everybody he loved. While it's not my favorite work by King, and I wouldn't consider rereading it, it certainly gave me a lot to think about.
Great short listen. Pretty sobering, but with the satisfying ending. Audio production was great, I really enjoyed myself.
This was so much better than I've expected when started. I loved reading about common everyday unprepared people facing dire circumstances. I couldn't stop reading, it just sucked me in. I don't so often venture into horror, but this one hit that sweet spot for me. I felt truly terrified and tense throughout the whole book.
This book is an interesting concept of retelling a well-known story. However, I found the combination of a childish narrative with the presence of numerous sexual scenes a little confusing. If there was any allegory behind the strange and chaotic action packed scenes in Wonderland, I didn't get it. Perhaps the book was simply too YA for my taste.
I've had fun finding out how Morpheus became his mischievous self. Was little surprised there was actually no Alice, but the title said everything. Looks like the author had fun writing this prequel, it's very creative.
Much better than the first one, I actually liked we didn't go to the Wonderland. It's more fun when Wonderland creeps into the real world. But one thing is for sure - I cannot stand Jeb and want to puke every time he opens his mouth. And do we really need so much descriptions of clothes? I'm gonna go for the third, curious how this whole thing ends.
Unfortunately, I was left pretty disappointed. I listened to the book on Audible, where they spoiled almost everything in the blurb. I was constantly expecting some kind of plot twist, but it never came. Aside from the spoilers, the ending itself was quite predictable. The narrators were decent, though the male narrator could work on controlling his breathing better, as his gasps were sometimes a bit distracting.
This series just wasn't for me. I skimmed the second half of the last book, didn't have any more patience to read carefully. The book felt like a chore. The concept itself is interesting and there are some good parts, but teenage love triangle was too annoying. Even though I must admit it had a little different spin than usual. And I just didn't really like Alyssa. Don't even get me started on the engagement of sixteen year old. Glad I'm done with it.
Kind of disappointed. I was expecting fun spookiness, but got not so funny to me humor. I feel like there's condescending undertone to it. Making fun of abused child was especially hard to listen. I feel like there's much more material to go deeper into objects' history, everything was very dry and factual. The author did his reasearch, but it felt more like the list of themes to research more later than book that should feed my curiosity. Maybe this is more for those that don't take paranormal seriously because if I don't take it seriously, it's not scary, just boring. And this book was boring to me. The narrator had ok voice and great pronunciation but his narration made condescending undertone much worse.
