This was an excellent review! It didn't give away too much but was just enough to justify its rating and make me want to read it. Great job!

Latest Review: "Beginners only dance book" by Allen g darnel

Post by Amheiser »

I hadn't heard about The Gray Man and the title didn't really grab my attention but your review certainly did. This sounds like something that is what I like to read . . .with lots of suspense and what sounds like a twist at the end. I guess its a good chance to improve my vocabulary also. I will be putting this on my list of books to read.

Yes, definitely lots of suspense and then a twist at the end! I totally didn't see it coming. But when it happens, so many time comments throughout the book suddenly make so much more sense! 8)

Latest Review: "Take Her" by Midnight Taylor

"I love how the story is just one big build-up to the climax, the meeting of The Gray Man. The suspense and anticipation of finding out what this Man was all about captured me. I read this whole story in one sitting, very late at night, which might have been a mistake. The surprise ending gave me goosebumps, and then I couldn’t sleep for a few hours after that. Initially, I was just disturbed and rather terrified, but upon further consideration, I became fascinated. Any difference to the ending would have been bland in comparison."

Ugh! I have to know what happens now! Very good review. I love those books which can be somewhat disturbing and leave you thinking, "what in the world did I just read." I'll be checking this one out.

It was one that definitely surprised me at the end. Through most of the book, I was actually not that impressed. I thought the writing was pretentious and trying too hard to sound intelligent that it just came across as boring. But the build-up to the climax was the best part. And the ending. 8)
