Sanctus by Simon Toyne – It’s a fast read and easy to put down and take breaks because the chapters are so short. It’s almost as if it was written for people with ADHD. I wasn’t entirely convinced by the characters and religious thrillers are not really my thing so I won’t be following the series. 3/5 stars
The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajanniemi – I wanted to read this because I had heard many good things about it. 100 pages into it, I realized I didn’t care how it ended. It’s not badly written, I just didn’t care about the characters and what happened to them. 3/5 stars (graded based on partial read)
After Dark by Haruki Murakami – This one was different from my usual reads. I didn’t fall in love with it, but I got caught by the story and enjoyed reading it. I like it when two characters just sit down at a table and talk about life. 4/5 stars
Star grading system reminder:
1 star - you won't find any so it doesn't matter
2 stars - waste of time or unfinished book or both
3 stars - you won't be sorry for reading it but you can just as well live without it
4 stars - it brings something special into your life
5 stars - brilliant, damn near perfect
