I have read these books several times and, yet, I am always (see what I did there?) finding new details and bits that I've never noticed before. JK is a genius and I LOVE the reader!

One of Jane Austen's most popular novels. Arrogant, self-willed, and egotistical, Emma is her most unusual heroine.

Lots of people
Reviewed: 06-01-17
There are a lot of people in the story and a lot of characters, so it can be a lot to keep up with. That being said, I enjoyed the story and it has movement and life in color and I highly recommend it!

After the first wave, only darkness remains. After the second, only the lucky escape. And after the third, only the unlucky survive. After the fourth wave, only one rule applies: Trust no one. Now, it's the dawn of the fifth wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker.

Book too long
Reviewed: 03-25-17
It's not that I hated this book, it's just that it was waaaaaaaaaaaay too long. The last hour or so was exciting. The rest of it made me want to go to sleep. Very slow moving and really not very interesting.

Set during the early days of World War I, Lyovitalis follows the journey of the young and spirited doctor, Audrianna Foster, as she travels to Switzerland to continue the research of her recently-deceased father. Her object is to find a cure to the mysteriously fatal disease called lyovitalis, which not only killed her mother, but also a slew of young women in the idyllic town of snowy Zurich - where Audrianna comes to reside. In Zurich, Audrianna falls into the treacherously seductive company of Lorna.

I don't feel there was anything wrong with the performance, but the story itself was awful. Also, the author seems to have swallowed a thesaurus. I would not recommend this title.

No tone
Reviewed: 10-29-16
The narrator on this one seems more interested in talking fast than having any kind of tone or emotion. I mean it's inexpensive and told the story, but I was disappointed.

Story5 out of 5 stars 38,596
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

Slow start, good story
Reviewed: 08-20-16
I have meant to read this story for ages but every time I would start, I would lose interest and stop reading. This time, I got past my usual stopping point and I'm glad I did-for I very much enjoyed the story and got rather caught up-wanted to punch a few characters in the face (but I didn't). Definitely recommended!
