This book started out very good with the premise of the missing friend and a mysterious death on the anniversary of the missing friend. The timelines got a bit confusing because it wasn't just past and present, but it really bounced around between va ...more

Mind-bending and Fun. This book starts off really compelling for the first third . . . then it goes up a gear and gets even better. This was an easy finish. The end gets really mind-bending in a good way. There are good surprises at the end but the bi ...more

Overall this was a good story from start to finish. I was expecting more of it to take place on Mars, so I was a little surprised there was so much story in space and on the moon. But those parts were good too. Mars was my favorite part. The descript ...more

Easy to pick up. Under the Dome has a great premise that hooks you from the opening pages. It got a little slow in the middle but finished strong. I didn’t like it as much as some of the other BIG novels like It or The Stand. Partly because I couldn’ ...more

Another good Reacher. I’ve read a half a dozen or so Reacher books. Like the others, this one was good. It has a good mixture of both action and crime investigation scenes. The three main characters were well developed but other than that I didn’t rea ...more

Good Adventure Mystery. This had a lot more adventure than some similar type mysteries. I really like that aspect of it. However, I thought this book was too long. We spend too much time inside Simone's head. Every thought she has, repeated over and o ...more
