review 1: Brothers and Bones pulled me in from the first sentence, "I sometimes feel like my own little world is encased in a souvenir snow globe, the kind you shake so you can watch fat white flakes swirl around a miniature Eiffel Tower."Immediately, I knew that I'd get to know this character intimately, and I was not disappointed.A little later Charlie, the main character, gives a homeless man some money. The man says, "Thanks, Wiley," and stuns Charlie because the only person ever to call Charlie that was his brother, Jake, who disappeared thirteen years ago. Is the homeless man his brother? This question haunts Charlie and causes him to go through so much personal angst that he's in jeopardy of losing his job, his fiancee' and his life, as he knows it.To be honest, suspension o... moref belief is required in some places, but that's something that Hankins has in common with other bestselling authors.If you like to read a story where you get to know, really know a character that is constantly placed in fear of death--psychological, physical and career, and you enjoy a plot that's filled with twists, you'll enjoy this book, and it's priced right.If that's not enough, check out the sheer quantity of reviews on Amazon. Most New York Times best selling authors would envy the number of people who have chimed in their thoughts. It takes a lot of time to write a review, and to have so many people review a book is fantastic.
review 2: Kniha Pouta se mi četla velmi dobře, děj byl nepředvídatelný a James Hankins si nechal celkové rozuzlení opravdu až nakonec, to mám ráda. Hlavní postava Charlieho mi doslova „sedla“, měl zvláštní smysl pro humor, byl bystrý a na většinu spojitostí přišel dřív než já. Kniha sice není psaná stylem, že by ve Vás doslova vířily emoce, ale rozhodně ani nikoho nenechá chladným. less
