Book Reviews of Moon Called (Mercy Thompson Series, Book 1)
Book Review: just uninteresting
Summary: 1 Stars
i'm unsure what people who liked this book want to get from authors, but undoubtedly, it ain't much. the writing in "Moon Called" is substandard (and that's being kind describing it that way). i have nothing against the author, and hey, she's making good money and selling books, so that's cool.
but i do find it hard to believe briggs put much effort into this book. "Moon Called" is literally filled with cliches, to such an extent that i'm a little amazed she could pull off writing quite this trite. in a way, it's an artform, because it's not exactly unskilled writing, it's instead being really talented at producing horrible books. i simply can't believe this was an unconscious effort on the author's part.
if you're looking for a piece of literature that's mindless, "Moon Called" is for you.
Book Review: good read
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a good read but a bit redundant about the author describing about Mercedes over and over all right I got the pic the first time. Aside from that I would recommend itBook Review: Vampires, werewolves and shape-shifters...
Summary: 5 Stars
Mercy Thompson likes working on cars. German cars mostly. So she does not mind working on a VW bus to keep the vampires off her back. And her boss is a fae and her neighbor is a werewolf. So you would think she could handle almost everything. But things are about to get weird. Even for a shape-shifting woman who grew up with weird as a daily problem.
Lots of fine and humor.
Book Review: At last a book that doesn't resort to porn instead of plot.
Summary: 5 Stars
In this book, Mercy Thompson is the save-the-world kind of girl, but she does it without becoming a martinet and walking all over people who care about her! What a concept! Her character is unique as well, being the lone "skinwalker" who turns into a coyote in a world of bigger, more powerful weres and other creatures.
The supernatural creatures in Patricia Briggs' book are interesting and unique - vampires and werewolves and fae with a strong culture and facinating interaction. The characters are extremely well developed and the plot just zips along. I wish I had happened upon this series when there were about 10 of them out - waiting for the next book is going to be hard!
Book Review: Kim Harrison fan
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book because I am a Kim Harrison fan. The paranormal world in this book has the same positive qualities of the Rachel Morgan series. It was not my favorite paranormal book, but I liked it enough to buy Book 2. It's definitely worth a try.
