Classic's Reviews:

A Thousand Nos

January 24, 2019 by Classic 1 Comment

    Sometimes you read a book that you can’t believe is so bad you just keep reading it. This was one of those books. The shifting narratives don’t work, you pretty much know who did what it’s just a wait for the cops to figure it out. The only reason why I didn’t zero star this thing was the ending which made me go, huh. “The Couple Next Door” follows Anne and Marco Conti. A happily married couple (or it appears to be so) […]

Set Fire….to the Rain

January 24, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that this book will be released on August 13, 2019. And note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Well this was really good. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars was because forgiveness is okay, but I loathed what one of the characters did and it was like they were given a pass on it because they had other issues going on. FYI, I am all about the vengeance. “Things You Save in […]

Interesting Idea That’s Been Done Before

January 24, 2019 by Classic 2 Comments

I have read Taylor Jenkins Reid before so I thought this be at least a good read, even though it’s a short story. I liked the idea of writing letters back and forth, but though two of the characters were beyond boring, and hated the last letter that was sent. It pretty much makes one of the characters totally crap and actually […]

Only Enjoyed One Time Period

January 24, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Sigh. Well this was an okay story, I only enjoyed the past time period in the book (the Sarah and Martin sections) and didn’t like the present at all except for Ruth. The book fell down at the end too and I honestly didn’t find this too scary. “The Winter People” follows four people (Martin, Sara, Ruthie, and Katherine) in different time periods. Martin and Katherine’s narratives are from the 1908 and Ruthie and Katherine are from the present day. The book focuses on all […]
