Must-read sequal to the Inheritance Game. The thrilling story continues and evolves. Loved the plot twists. Cannot wait to read the 3rd book of the series.

Interesting, though not really original dystopian view of the future. Felt like it ended too early, like part of the story was left untold, perhaps for sequal?

How to Commit the Perfect Murder in Ten Easy Steps by Jessica Huntley
Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.

Found it hard to follow all the different timelines and characters. Also the story progression was too slow for my liking.

The story was quite slow at first, which made me nearly DNF the book. But as I kept reading small portions at a time, it started getting bit more faster to read and last third of the book was so nice to read I hardly could put the book down. 

Story was bit sad but still nice to read. Even it's about developing computer games, it's written in such a language most people can understand.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book was easy to read, and I liked how it was written. The story was quite slow at the beginning and the end came quickly after the was a plot twist. The book ended quite differently I expected.

And as this was listed as sci-fi book, I waited for a different kind of ending. And unfortunately I could catch what part of the story was considered as scifi.

Though this was a nice and quick read, I can't help the feeling of slight dissappointment of the plot developement due to the lack of scifi aspect. But if you forget the genre, this was nice to read!

Child of the Jungle: The True Story of a Girl Caught Between Two Worlds by Sabine Kuegler

5.0

Well written story that hooks you up so badly you just can't stop reading it. Interesting true story of living in totally different co0ulture and then returning to the western civilization.

Fight Back: toinen mahdollisuus by Pekka Hyysalo

2.0

Niin paljon kuin Pekkaa fanitankin, en voi sanoa kirjasta pitäneeni. Kirjoitettu minun makuuni aivan turhan kepeään tyyliin, ehkäpä en vain ollut oikeaa kohderyhmää joille kirja oli tarkoitettu? En edes saanut kirjaa luettua loppuun tyylin alkaessa tökkiä vähän puolivälin jälkeen vaan lähinnä selailin ja yksittäisi kohtia sieltä täältä luin.
