The author has this penchant for her characters to whisper every so often, and it reads odd. Sometimes it's in a situation where a character could be expected to speak quietly, but whispering is over the top.

Initially mediocre, becoming more compelling as the plot moves on.

Serves a rough introduction to its fictional universe, and not immediately compelling. It's becoming a little more intriguing as I turn the pages.

Kyle Towns is 88% done with The Church of Fear: Inside the Weird World of Scientology
Dwells a little too much on the procedural events of constructing a documentary for the BBC. The circumstances involving and surrounding the conducting of the investigation, rather than the results. Though the events do reveal the Church to be dangerous.

So far it's not so much inside the world of scientology, though jt covers some shocking allegations, so much as it demonstrates the shady behaviour of the organisation when confronted with an investigation. They seem secretive, obtuse, closed off, repelling genuine attempts to engage and investigate with accusations. Their intense need to discredit ex-Scientologists is telling.

Pretty enthralling! I want to keep reading though I'm out of time.

Kyle Towns is 30% done with Being Emily
Being Emily is overt in it's intentions, from the outset: to follow the tribulations of Chris as a closeted, would-be male to female transgender. It does quite well in meeting that goal. Despite the best intentions and a thorough understanding of her characters, Being Emily feels a little heavy-handed in simplistic parable.

My only issue is that it wasn't longer.

Not too bad. Fairly imaginative but just another 'kid escapes mundane life to fantasy world' story.
