“Morose and brooding are the two words that come to mind. It's well written and not boring by any means, but I was less than captivated. I'm 50% of the way through and I think I'm giving up on it.”

“A delightful swashbuckling romance. It reminded me of Robert Louis Stevenson with a dash of Dumás. It's hard to put down and lots of fun.”

“Think of a screenplay for a low budget B-rated comedy about King Arthur's court and you won't be far off from experiencing this novel. I expected so much more...”

“I'm in the middle of reading this, my first Custance book, but I find it quite fascinating to this point. Thus far it is a look at mortality from a combined anthropological, biological and biblical view, citing heavily from respected scientists. Intriguing stuff from someone no one has heard of!”

“One of my favorite Shakespeare plays. Quippy, playful, romantic, smart. Was I disappointed with the ending just because it was a happy ending? Perhaps. Or was it because it seemed half-hearted and premature? Unclear.”

“Porter paints a superhuman Wallace in this "sorta" historical novel. Although I enjoyed reading it quite a bit––it's an amazing and well-told tale––I found it hard to trust. Treating it as more fiction than fact gave me hours of reading enjoyment though.”

“Agatha Christie lays a very interesting puzzle in this book. While the story is interesting and her style makes for an enjoyable read, I was a little disappointed at the lack of character development. Agatha Christie's true art lies in weaving webs of intrigue involving multifaceted characters. I guess because this particular story had so many important characters, she could not really bring any one of them out in detail. Poirot, though, shines as always.”
