This was a really great read! I was certainly surprised at the complexity, and I found myself nearly unable to put it down. From the initial premise to the last words, I was captivated, and when I reached the end of the book, I definitely had a moment of "wait, isn't there more?? I need to know w...
This book is hard to rate. I think everyone who reads its likes the inner workings of John's mind and were really into the book until it randomly became paranormal. It doesn't happen often but it is a HUGE pet peeve of mine for the author to setup and let us feel comfortable in one world and a th...
I very randomly picked up this book at my local library simply because the title intrigued me. Brought it home and quickly devoured it in less than 2 weeks. That's fast for me. :) Hats off to Dan Wells (also an author I hadn't heard of before now), and how he crafted this story. Clearly he d...
Wow, that was fun! Disturbing but gripping and touching book about a teenager fighting with his inner demon and playing cat and mouse with a serial killer. While the killer is revealed about a third of the way through, it looses none of the tension as the who-done-it switches to a suspense thrill...
CURSE YOU, DAN WELLS!This book was considerably much more solidly paced than book 1. I enjoyed the "journey" plot, the look at a very believable post-apocalyptic setting, and lots of tension. ALL THE TENSION.I read this via the audiobook, which was very well read. Kudos to Julia Whelan. She didn'...
Realmente no sé que decir de este libro, es fantástico y te deja con intriga hasta el último momento. El final me dejo super desconcertada y el hecho de que tenga que esperar al año que viene para leer Ruins no hace mas que ponerme ansiosa porque tengo que saber que es lo que pasa. Cada vez que l...
This book was more action packed and crazy. The moral gray space that I found so interesting in the first two was not really present - any new questions were more or less an obvious right or wrong. The plot line with the last two Trust members seemed like it could have almost been straight lifted...
I am going into this review assuming that you, unnamed reader, have also read I Am Not A Serial Killer seeing as Mr. Monster is its sequel. If you have not and do not wish to be spoiled on the preceding book's plot events, consider this your warning.Mr. Monster continues the story of John Wayne C...
Okaaaay......read this one, because I just finished the first book in the series and I really wanted to know more about what the antagonist actually was from the first book. My feeling is that this one was an easy, quick read like the first book, but the subject matter here was just too much for ...
I didn't like "Mr. Monster" quite as well as "I am not a Serial Killer", mostly because the utter freshness of John Cleaver's character/situation was past, and in book two, I sometimes got a tired of his reiterating the same old conflicts -- I really want to kill my mother and my girlfriend, bein...
This is the third installment in the story of our intrepid sociopathic monster hunter/killer.John has a trying life, as do those who care for him...or find themselves in their vicinity. For the first two books I fond these books very interesting. Here we got very involved in John trying to functi...
Ich musste, nachdem ich Band 2 gelesen hatte, gleich den dritten hinterschieben, denn mir lies es keine Ruhe, ich wollte wissen wie es nun ausgehen wird, was sich der Autor einfallen lassen hat, wie der große Showdown sein wird.Dieses Buch erinnert mich mehr an an einen Thriller, klar das Thema D...
Este libro narra la evolución personal de John, contiene muertes (obviamente), sacrificio, giros sorprendentes pero no inesperados y bastante tensión. Esta no es la última entrega de la trilogía, lo cual es evidente cuando terminas de leer, de hecho, da pie para que la saga continúe; este año el ...
This is a terrific ending to the trilogy about teenage sociopath John Wayne Cleaver. The plot is interesting and as with the two previous books, what keeps the reader's interest is the fascinating insight into how this young man thinks. He's got all the psychological characteristics of a budding ...
What do Jane Austen, *Anne Elliot*, John Keats, and Mary Shelley all have in common? Frederick Withers.A zany tale of an ordinary banker who is thrown into prison for fraud. When his cell mate dies of consumption, or some other random horrible disease, Frederick escapes in the coffin. Once outsid...
This was very meat-and-potatoes high-testosterone epic fantasy, and while I would have suspected the author of drawing on gaming sources even if I didn't already know it was a tie-in novel, it still mostly read like an actual epic fantasy and not like something written to sell miniatures.That sai...
