WORTH CONSUMING!
than this one. Too sad and angsty, yes, and not enough happy things in it. It was still great, though, and an equally good page-turner as the rest of the series.

More people need to get on it. It’s a great motivator to see your goals all written up, and to see that other people are trying to accomplish the same things, too.

though I guess it was worth reading. Only read it for a school project – probably wouldn’t have read it on my own. It’s still the most interesting “required reading” I’ve ever gone through.

many of the Chinese soap operas that run on KSCI channel 18, but still entertaining. Very sad ending.
A story about "The Broker" — 3 years ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
as many of the other thrillers I’ve read. It slows down too much and focuses on the duller parts of the character’s daily life in Bologna. The beginning and end weren’t too bad. Would have appreciated a little more action and suspense thrown in, though. Even corny action/suspense. However, I loved the Italian in it – picked up a bit and now I want to learn it, too.

and there is more factual information in this book that can’t be debated than in The Da Vinci Code. Not as good of a plot or story, though.

WORTH CONSUMING!
this new album, but now I love them more. It’s probably my favorite one, if not No Name Face, their first album. “Come Back Down,” “You and Me,” and “Blind” are awesome songs, as well as “The End Has Only Begun,” “Walking Away,” and “Undone.” The rest are fillers, but I learned to like them as much as the others. All in all (the title of another song – excuse the pun), it’s an awesome album and I eagerly await more albums like this from Lifehouse.
A story about "The Bourne Identity" — 3 years ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
Loved it, though I had to start over towards the middle because I got lost in it after stopping for a week. The action scenes are particularly well-written, and they make me want to see the movie version of this book. Full of surprises, even for a thriller novel, and very clever. Of course I’d recommend it!

WORTH CONSUMING!
I liked the story, but I didn’t like how the novel was written in the past tense. Anderson’s writing is funny and poignant. I didn’t love the book, but then again, I don’t love all books.

and that’s all I needed it to be. I liked the plot, though after reading all of Brown’s books you notice that he sort of follows a formula for all of them. Introduce a problem straight from the get-go, bring in a friendly character, a beautiful/handsome love interest, and a seemingly shady character. Put them together, add a wild goose chase, a red herring, and bring them up to a “surprise” conclusion. It is full of facts, but because everyone says the “facts” aren’t all true I’m not sure what to think of them.
Still, it was a really fun read and I’m impatiently looking forward to the sequel.
