Tell No One by Harlan Coben

Wild ride. Read it in one go. Impossible to put this book down. Very neat ending but it worked.

A bit of a letdown.

More boring than I thought. Weird leaps of logic. Not at all scary.

I got nothing. Neither does this book. Felt like my time wasted.
Inherit the Stars by James P. Hogan

The last chapter and epilogue kind of soured me on the book a bit. It was a rather far-fetched stretch in terms of believability. The revelation right before at least was somewhat doable. Overall it was a nice investigation of a mystery.
Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty

I did not expect it to be as fun as it was. The ending was a little bit too neat but it was still a quick and enjoyable read with a bit of mystery. The reason for everything that happened didn't quite work for me but at least it was an interesting idea.
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

Meh. Started out OK. Got very melodramatic and disappointing by the end. Too sappy, cloying. What a let-down!

Did not finish book.
Didn't finish. Outdated. Uninteresting. I don't know if the book makes the 1 female character more interesting eventually but at this point, I don't care. There are other books I could be reading with more interesting female characters, or male characters for that matter.
The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty

I expected it to be scarier. I don’t think I’ve actually seen the movie so I expected something very different.
