Lephan Gr lephangr — My favorite Ann Rule book. The fact that she knew Bundy and used to sit alone in a room with him late at night at a call center made it doubly chilling.

Harry Taylor _erting_rt — I found this book very hard to get through, and the ending was not what I hoped for

Brandon Kent brandonk31ec — Maktoob!

Natacha M natacharivera — ** spoiler alert ** As is normal for me, I bought this book because it had a pretty cover and I’m a sucker for historical novels. This cover does not lie. The Vespertine is haunting and pretty and, well, historical. I’ll admit to some skepticism at the onset. I’m not the world’s biggest fan of prologues because they can so often ruin the book. That was definitely not the case here. The prologue set a level of suspense that this book would never have had without it. It made this game of soothsayer Amelia and her cousin were playing dangerous right from the get-go, even if they didn’t realize it and even if the reader has no idea what that danger will lead to. That suspense from the prologue made this book something else entirely. When I first started reading, it reminded me of Louisa May Alcott’s An Ordinary Girl. In a good way. “Country mouse” comes to the city is an old story, but Saundra Mitchell’s take on it was fresh and exciting and kept me turning the pages as quickly as possible. The characters were excellent as well. It was nice to see these semi-well-to-do young ladies acting a little scandalous, but not ridiculously so. It was also nice to see that they were smart and had interests of their own. And, mostly, it was nice to see them pick their gentleman suitors because of something other than “OMG FATE!” We saw reluctance to accept the first man’s hand, we saw an acknowledgment that a young man was not quite suitable ignored, and we saw a man picked for his strength of character. I loved that. These characters were timelessly relatable, and I was very fond of all of them. That fondness just added to the suspense and gnawing sense of dread, because clearly something was going to go wrong and there wasn’t a single character I would have been ok with losing. If I had one tiny criticism about this book, it’s that the period language was too good. At the start of the book, it was a little dense to the point that I wondered on my twitter whether the book might not have been suited for an older audience a little better. But, once the action got going in chapter one, this problem (and I use the word problem loosely, because it didn’t bug me at all, though it might have been an issue for someone much younger than me) evaporated in the wake of the suspense I’ve been so obsessed with this review. Overall, this book surprised me. It had great characters, a suspenseful plot, and romances I could cheer on. These three things rarely happen at all in historical dramas any more, much less all three at once. And the ending…I won’t spoil it but you must read this book so you can know what I mean. I believe there’s going to be a sequel, and my anticipation for it…well, let’s just say I just bounced a little in my chair thinking about it.

Glenn Jordy glennjordy — I had very high hopes when I started out but in the end, I found this book by Elie Wiesel to be too fragmented for my taste. It seemed that either things in the story needed to be cut out or expanded upon significantly. And the main character's wife......what was up with her?

Fernando Guime fernguime7b41 — Good Omens by Neil Gaiman (2001)
