"In this thread, everyone will post their reviews/opinions of the book they have read this week AFTER you rate/review it on your page. The purpose of this is so everyone can see what you read this week and read your review without having to visit each profile. Some of you have their profiles locked, so this saves you the trouble of unlocking it.


ANY COMMENTS THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO THAT MATTER WILL BE DELETED.


The format will be like this:


Name of book.

Author.

n/5 stars.


"Your simple opinion/extended review/one word that expresses what you thought of the book. GO CRAZY! Anything counts. Don't feel pressured."


Link to your review.


Also, this allows us to be organized, so even if a member didn't log in for about a month, they can add the book they've read to the appropriate thread.


THANK YOU ALL!



EDIT:

As I've mentioned in the guidelines, one word or a simple opinion counts as a 'review'. I only called it that because Goodreads calls it that."



Now let's see your achievements, awesome people.

Standing Still
By Kelly Simmons
4/5

The edition I have of this novel is called "Skylight". It's an interesting story about a lady that suffers from panic disorder due to things that happened in her past. Her husband is always away for business trips and she's always home with her three daughters. A man breaks into her house and attempts to kidnap her little daughter ,so she offers that he takes her instead and he does. She then starts to learn more about her kidnapper and that he's not as bad as he seems.

One Piece Vol:3
By Eiichiro Oda
4/5
I can relate strongly to Usop (although i see myself in franky) :p so i really like the parts where he is the main character :P

عودة الغائب
د. منذر القباني
5/5 stars



الرواية هذي تبدأ بعد ثلاث سنين من نهاية الرواية اللي قبلها وبنفس الشخصيات مع بعض الشخصيات الجديدة.

الرواية هذي أثرى وأكثر أحداثًا وحماسًا من التي قبلها وأطول أيضًا، النهاية كانت مشبعة ومرضية وجميلة.

الدكتور منذر القباني كاتب متمكن وأفكاره جميلة، وموضوع نظريات المؤامرة من أجمل المواضيع وأكثرها التشويق واستخدامه لها كان جميل جدًّا.

الكتاب كسابقه تقدر تقتبس ثلاثة أرباعه من الحكم والمقاصد.

El Fuego Del Dragon (Eidolon, #3) by Jane Johnson

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Another find for my younger brother.

I guess this book isn't really that bad. Ben is an adorable protagonist, and the book is filled with enough adventure and mystical creatures to keep you intrigued. And the Dodman is a proper, scary villain, the sort intent on mayhem and destruction and achieves it.

But, I don't know. It might have been the dinosaurs. Or the feeling of a hastily written story. Or Isadora. (I really don't like Isadora. Her character reeks of selfishness, no matter how the story paints her as good and kind and brave and whatever.) Or it might have been the hunky dory five minute ending.

I have a feeling the earlier books in this series might be better. I might give them a try.
