I liked this but it took me a bit to get into it. Seemed very slow at the beginning and it wasn't until I was more than a quarter in that I was able to enjoy it more. The only annoying part of this was how easily Peter got distracted mostly by women but just by anything. Almost felt like I was re...
Rating: 3.5* of five The Book Report: The book description says: Probationary Constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London’s Metropolitan Police. Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he’ll face is a paper cut. But Peter’s pro...
Too. Much. Fun.But not too much. Just the right amount of fun. Ladies and gentleman, if you're looking for a relatively light read, with overtones of the theatre and English puppetry, and undertones of feuding rivers and power struggles, all sifted through the eyes of a police constable who has just...
Interesting plot line, a blend of urban magic, ghost horror tale, and a police detective story, but there are problems in this book that make me doubt I’ll ever pick up another books by this author. So what didn’t I like?The novel had an alternative title in the UK, Rivers of London, and both titles...
I was much disappointed by this book. I read it because of all the positive reviews on it. The story also appealed to me. But then I was more than glad to have it finally finished. I don't remember haven't needed that much time to read a book of this length.I enjoy reading both crime and fantasy and...
Well, that was different. It wasn't a book I couldn't put down. But still some charm was there. London was as stand alone character as any one of the people. I never was to London.and never wanted to go there. But after reading this book I'll go someday. I have something to say about sense of humor...
One of my favorite series, with an engaging main character and a vivid sense of place (essential to well-written urban fantasy, IMHO). I am recommending these books to everyone I know who likes the genre.
I generally don't like urban fantasy or first person narration, but this was recommended by NPR and sounded like it might be fun, so I tried it. It was definitely worth reading past the sample. Suspenseful, but not quite 3 in the morning. Enough twists and turns in the plot to keep me frequently ...
2.5 stars Finally. I don't know why this took me so long to finish. All the right elements were there. It was funny, although more so in the beginning. An interesting plot. Likeable main characters. It was written well. It just seemed to drag a bit, although even the parts that were dragging...
3.75 stars. Midnight Riot is great start to a series and also is simply a fabulous new series for the urban fantasy world. This book is funny, not silly funny like Three's Company, but dry funny with an amazing delivery. Ben Aaronvitch makes very witty observations about human nature and delivers in...
