All-New X-Men, Vol. 1: Yesterday's X-Men by Brian Michael Bendis

5.0

My first X-Men read and I can't wait to read the next one! It's a very friendly intro into this world - my knowledge only being of the movies and what my friends talk about.

Each character got a good chunk of page time, the artwork was awesome and there was an Avengers cameo.

Quick read!

I love the way Haig divides up his chapters. I love his writing style and how he can turn a book about vampires into a satirical about domestic life, family love and parenting.

Loved the family and I kept picturing Spike, from Buffy, as Uncle Will.

Haig is easily becoming one of my favourite authors.

This is my first Agatha Christie read and I have to say that I am not disappointed.

This was a very quick read for me, finished it in essentially 2 bus rides! Her writing is so gripping and wow, she really is a master of mystery!

Even though I guessed some plot, only because I'm a huge mystery fan, I was still not let down.

I need MORE Christie recommendations, please!

Did not finish book.
I downloaded this e-book to kill time waiting at the hospital and while it had an interesting premise (I was just coming off of Ready Player One) I just couldn't get into it or continue once I left.
