Latest Review: "The 11.05 Murders" by Brian O'Hare

Post by furybeginner »

I can only read a sample of the book on Amazon (maybe I can't get it for free because I'm not in the US?) and upon reading the word 'talons', I got intrigued right away. It's always fascinating to read when the characters aren't all human beings. And your review got me all the more excited to get a copy. I enjoyed reading your review, thanks, ananya92! I hope to read more from you. :)

Thank you, ananya92, for your descriptive review! I found it interesting that the aliens were the ones to clone the main character using some leftover DNA. It makes me curious of the intelligence of these aliens. Great review! :)

Very interesting review. It sounds like there are many stories going on at one time and the idea that there are annoying elements to the story may make it more interesting.

Very good review. It was intriguing enough to make me want to read this book. Sci-fi and fantasy is a genre I enjoy.

Thank you for the review. I don't read much sci-fi, as I read mostly romance related stuff, but as for how this seems to be plotted and told from the third person, it does seem to be something that would attract attention for those that are fond of the genre.

Sci-fi doesn't interest me much but this review seems great.
