Story
Luke Whitney is stabbed to death. His wife Anna confesses after she is found next to his lifeless body. But if she did it, why can't she confirm any of the details of the crime? As police dig into the circumstances, they learn that the victim was a liar, a cheat and a narcissist. More than one person had a reason to want him dead; his scorned ex, his neglected mistress and Anna – who knows what happens to Mrs Whitneys when Luke gets bored of them.

Dull, shallow chick lit.
Reviewed: 06-16-25
Shallow, pathetic characters, who know nothing about themselves or have any wisdom amid stereotypical situations. Who buys this stuff? good thing it was free!

Clueless, dull people too zombified by technology to live.

Dull story, boring, empty characters going about silly pointless lives, addicted to devices and out of touch with life. Silly, naive portrayal of artificial intelligence. Hint: there is no intelligence in AI.

Story
This is the story of Jim Dixon, a hapless lecturer in medieval history at a provincial university who knows better than most that “there was no end to the ways in which nice things are nicer than nasty ones.” Kingsley Amis’s scabrous debut leads the audience through a gallery of emphatically English bores, cranks, frauds, and neurotics with whom Dixon must contend in one way or another in order to hold on to his cushy academic perch and win the girl of his fancy.

surprisingly boring story
Reviewed: 01-05-25
Not only boring but mainly just about absurd romance. The reading was good but the story just wasn't.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

crappy sound recording
- By Keith D Azevedo on 08-16-24
No real emotional/spiritual connection with the Earth.
Reviewed: 08-31-24
The key event of this story is placed too early in time and should be decades more in the future. Most of most all, there seems never to have been any feelings of desolation or longing .that the original martian colonists would have experienced coming from such a beautiful planet as Earth to such an ugly, desolate place as Mars.

Story
In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

Dull, clueless characters and an equally dull story.
Reviewed: 07-13-24
When the omniscient narrator speaks just as poorly as the characters, you know you're in trouble.
