Sam L (The United States)'s Recent Status Updates Showing 1-30 of 103

Sam L is 30% done with Empire of Silence (The Sun Eater, #1)

This book is not immersive at all, seems like you're on the outside looking in. This one may go on my DNF shelf.

One reviewer compared it to Dune one of the driest (no pun intended)
Books I ever had the displeasure of attempting to read.

Sam L is 14% done with The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard, #1)

Everyone talks like a popinjay, even the street urchins. Idk. Maybe it's the audible narrator. I don't see the reason for the rave reviews yet.
2 stars so far.

The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard, #1)

Sam L is 38% done with A Cold Wind (Erdemen Honor, #2)

This drawn out back and forth between 2 characters is excruciating.

Sam L is starting Sword in the Storm (The Rigante, #1)

Audio version.

The story... itself ... may be... good.
But... the narrator's.... reading style.... reminds me... of Captain..... Kirk.

Sam L is 42% done with Star Shroud (Ascension, #1)

the only reason I'm gonna finish this book is because I paid for it and the audio version...

The "character" said, asked, replied, etc throughout the dialogue is driving me nuts... Sam said.

Sam L is 57% done with Starfarers

not so much of a story as a series of vignettes, not my favorite type of reading.

Sam L is 36% done with Blue Labyrinth (Pendergast, #14)

a little bit of a rehash of a story line I think.

Sam L is 44% done with The Brotherhood of Dwarves (The Brotherhood of Dwarves, #1)

the protagonist can see really well in the dark because dwarves live underground in caves but above ground at night he has poor eyesight beyond a hundred yards?? OK then

Sam L is reading The Atlantis Plague (The Origin Mystery, #2)

Starting this one with trepidation, there's other books that I REALLY want to read. Reading this one because I just finished the first one and I'm a little curious about how the story progresses, may not finish it though.

Sam L is 6% done with The Atlantis Gene (The Origin Mystery, #1)

not off to a good start, on page 22 of 472 digital and we've already switched scenes 5 or 6 times... without letting the reader know what's going on.

The Atlantis Gene (The Origin Mystery, #1)

Sam L is 88% done with Knights of the Chosen (Spirit of Empire, #2)

I love a book that I can get emotionally involved with the characters. some would say I'm jaded maybe but most books I don't get so involved in, not so with this series.
