One of the best true crime books I’ve read in a while and I think it is the best of Corey Mitchell. Loved the way he build up the suspense and not began with the murders. (he told me his next book will have the same concept) I did not know what this book would be about but of course you slowly understand where this is going and it is going far, to hell and back. This is such a sad book.Highly recommend. 4.5 stars

Just finished this book and immediately turned on my computer to do more research about the cult scientology. I found very interesting articles and I think this cult is very dangerous and people have to be educated.

Also watched the famous youtube videos of Tom Cruise. The Oprah tape and the one where he talks like a lunatic on scientology and another one where he attacks Brooke Shields and the interviewer. I love the fact that Andrew Morton did not back down from publishing his book even though he was threatened. Threatening and suing is what the cult is very good at, not only the cult but also the second main man Tom Cruise.

This book was great and really opened my eyes.
Free Katie!!!! lol

Finished it last night Feb. 26.

Overall it was interesting, I liked to learn a bit more about how they lived there but after a while it became repetitive, all the talk about what they did daily, how much they loved each other and how much better they are than people not on the ice. (that was what I felt)

The first half of the book is about how they live there and just a little part is about the cancer.

Did she fall in love with a married man? was I the only one who noticed that? I do know when you live in close quarters you will fall in love quicker. [close]

I added this book to my wish list cause I like survivor stories and this one was recommended to me by amazon plus it had good reviews.

When I started I did not know anything really about this book and that is the best way to start reading so I won’t spoil here but I am going to tell you, if you like survivor stories buy this book. I can just say one word. Wow!!!

Het spijt me maar ik vond het een verschrikkelijk slecht boek.
Vooral de manier hoe het geschreven is, heel kinderachtig aan de ene kant en dan opeens hele groffe woorden er tussen.
Ik vond het ook erg ongeloofwaardig en het leek net een boek wat geschreven was door een tiener of iemand die probeert een boek te schrijven maar daar niet echt in slaagt ;-)

Ik heb toch 3/4e gelezen maar toen werd het nog ongeloofwaardiger dan het al was, toen ze de Belg ontmoette dat ik er mee ben gestopt.

It was a sad book. People say it was funny but I did not laugh once. Maybe because it all came close to home. Really enjoyed it though. It took me ages also because every time this book brought back memories and I had to check the Internet to find more info or look at you Tube clips from old bands I’d forgotten. Lots of fun.Wondering how George is doing now. I checked the Internet and discovered pictures of him having to work on the streets as punishment while loads of photographers were making pictures. He did look horrible.

Some things I wrote during reading of Extreme.

“I used to love her until how she acted on The X Factor towards Rebecca Loos. She is a bitch from hell as is obvious in her book, good read.”

“Wow. I did not know that she did the same as what she was accusing Rebecca off. Ozy was married and had kids!! Sharon did not care. Book is interesting.”

“What I learned is that Sharon is calling the kettle black.:) Ozzy was married and she did not want to let go.
Even though I am not a fan of her I did enjoy reading this book very much.
It is interesting to hear more about the music world back in the days. ”

One thing you can’t call Sharon and that is boring. She is not and her book is very entertaining.

Wow. What a book! I think I started to enjoy it more and more but I can understand why other readers had a hard time with it. (I had a point where I thought “shall I keep reading or not?” )
The characters are not likeable although I did start to like Eliza at the end. Book is hard , Life was hard back then and very dark.
One thing that separates me from other readers is that I had no expectations beforehand. I did not know what this book was going to be about so because of that I was not disappointed.
Of course after reading the first chapter of Mister Black’s journal, I put 2 and 2 together, the title also helped, :) and then i understood what it would be about.
Glad that I read it, but I would recommend lending this from the library instead of buying it cause you love it or hate it

WOW! What a great book. I was sitting on the verge of my seat reading the part where they caught him. My hands were shaking!
So amazingly written. Loved it.
Beforehand I did not know anything about this killer.
Now I am so glad I decided to wait cause there were other books out there but with very bad reviews..
This book is one of the best TC serial killers books I’ve read for a while.

OMG What a horrible boring book. I still have 10 pages to go and i am searching the Internet to see what others think about this book. To my surprise a lot of people love it. Guess they only do because they love the character Odd Thomas cause the writing and the story is bad.

Nothing happens. No excitement no suspense, very weird story. All characters are the same. all have the same humour, speak the same as Odd does.

I thought Life Expectancy was his worst book but this book wins by a mile! And since I was a teen I am a Dean Koontz fan. Always immediately bought his books when they came out here in The Netherlands and later I bought the English versions.
