Overview Rock F*ck Club Box Set Books 1-5: Stellar Box Set - 5 Stars
A stellar box set of a very unique and definitely original story line. The characterizations are clearly laid out; provocative, unruly, combative, egotistical, flamboyant are just some of the attributes of characters overall. Thank you Ms. Mankin a set of intense reads!!
Rock F*ck Club Book 1: Intense Read - 5 Stars
A very unique story line; most definitely original and reads very well. There was an urge almost to continue reading from one hurdle to the next, until matters had all been sorted out and the two main male and female characters can have their happily ever after. A fair amount of reconciliation and forgiveness in this tale. There is an overlay of family throughout the story, albeit family of blood or family of choice. The other message I took away from this story besides kinship, was friendship, extremely loving and exceedingly loyal. From the beginning moments of this story, through to a beautiful (both literally and figuratively ) conclusion. Thank you Ms. Mankin for an intense read!
Rock F*ck Club Book 2: Characterizations Clearly Laid Out - 5 Stars
Well, I certainly got ahead of myself with my analysis of book one in this series. I thought Ms. Mankin had penned a happy-ever-after in concluding book one. Wrong! Onward we went into book two and fanned out into a few sub-plots (I feel more novels being framed up here). Again, great writing, smooth flowing text and a great original tale. The characterizations of the large ensemble cast were developed, refined and clearly laid out. There appeared to be a hint of whimsy to this story line. We shall have to see what unfolds in Ms. Mankind's third novel of the series. The rock and roll life style, especially when on tour, is akin to one of a gypsy; tours have grueling work schedules.
Rock F*ck Club Book 3: Determined Main Male Character - 5 Stars
Another good read in this series by !s. Mankin. There were very lively characters in this third book of the series; provocative, unruly, combative, egotistical, flamboyant. Amidst all this the main male character is determined to stay the course with the main female character; both of whom have similar familial histories. Some of the characters were in the first two novels and we get to see more character development over time and new interchanges occur. I love it when an author does this style of writing in a series; it is like being a part of people's social history. Good stuff!
Rock F*ck Club Book 4: Fascinating Glimpse Into The Rock Star Lifestyle - 5 Stars
I enjoyed reading this novel that did not seem to take too long to read. Fascinating getting into the world of rock and roll stars, what it takes to make a career of performing their music, all the support personnel it seems to take to put one one show; to turn around and have people to tear the set down, pack up and convoy on to the next town. On the face of it all it would appear to be a gypsy-type life. Again, overlap of characters from the previous novels appear in this novel as well, with more character development for pre-existing characters and highlighting and introducing new characters. Interesting developments toward the end of the novel in what appears to be the ramp up of a new story line for the next novel in this series. Looks and sounds good ...
Rock F*ck Club Book 5: Highly Emotive - 5 Stars
I am exhausted from reading this novel but in a good way. It feels like I have every tear possible wrung right out of me .. stocks in tissues just went up exponentially. A great read as always with plenty of sub-plots afoot and lessons to be learned. Good stuff!
