Would give it a 2.5 if I could
After reading the description I was really excited to receive this book advance. I am drawn to mysteries, thrillers, suspense, etc and this sounded like it hit all 3 categories. However I found myself skimming instead of reading. It seems like it was a novel-length short story. The characters were only vaguely described - and the descriptions were exactly the same regardless of who is doing the talking or thinking - and the descriptions were repeated and repetitious ie one character is described as having curly hair. So in one scene she 'tosses her curly hair'. In another she 'twirls her curly hair'. In yetmore

a weird tale
The premise of this book was intriguing, and I was excited to receive a copy. I really enjoyed the beginning of the story; however, it then wandered into the bizarre. I didn't find The Game to be believable - what adults would willingly take drugs and spill such personal secrets until totally exhausted? It seemed very cruel, occasionally violent, and an odd way for writers to get ideas for future stories. I didn't really care about the characters and liked the story less and less as it went on. The main character teaches English and then destroys student essays? A virus changes books? The violence involving themore

The Rabbit Back Literature Society

The literary society group is led by Laure White a famous writer of children's books one day she simply disappears and we never find out what happened to her.
The literary society group comprised of nine children of both sexes who grew up together and were very close friends don't talk to each other now that they aremore

Wasn't magical for me...
The premise of this novel, a young teacher being asked to join a writer's secret society, piqued my interest, and I settled down eagerly to read this book. I became nervous when I started to read about goblins, gnomes and elves, and things just got worse.

Our main character, Ella, is a recent grad, working as substitute teacher. She confiscates an altered edition of Crime and Punishment from a student, submits a short story to a local paper and finds herself simultaneously invited to join a select group of famous writers and drawn into a mystery.

For me the plot never held together, the characters were allmore
