Superficial
The description of the book has more meat than the book itself. This disappointing book is a 15 short chapter breeze through a multitude of subjects, and does not linger long on any single subject. There are some nice diagrams and ten thousand foot views crammed into 374 total pages (the page count vs. chapter coun...

Treasure trove of information and formulae
This books is the next step in the evolution of Dr. Barry Boehm's seminal work, Software Engineering Economics (it was NOT written by Dr. Boehm, however). It provides a logically laid out format that examines measurement at each stage of the development life cycle. I was impressed with the attention paid to testing an...

Chuckles and laughs
Very clever and witty writing. I always catch myself chuckling while reading this book on the toilet. Some are pretty funny, and other's I just end up shaking my head and wondering why I even bothered reading it. Overall, a good read.

Best one yet !!!!
I always look forward to James Patterson's books and after I finish reading them, I send them immediately to my sister in Ohio. This book was suspense filled right to the end.

Shurley English is the worst
This is 20 pages of simple sentences. Worst program i have purchased to date. Super tedious, labor intensive manual, work book is not designed to be able to remove pages or copy for your own records. This workbook should be included with the manual.<br /><br />Seeking alternative English courses.

Reading to your kids,grandkids, nephews, nieces. It's a fun book with fun Characters and life lessons. I had recommended to some of my friends that have kids and so far all the kids love it. I enjoyed reading it and I'm not a kid, but a kid in Heart.

The Beatles content seems to be about 2%. Just weird pictures that have nothing to do with Beatles lyrics.
The pictures don't seem to have much to do with the Beatles or their songs, or lyrics, at all. This book is a joke. I don't recommend it at all. There are a few interesting pictures in it, but it's a large book and a waste of time and money.

Terrific book and great message about the world and how it is changing.
Ignore the 1-star reviews, because I personally guarantee they didn't read the book.<br /><br />The book details lots of ways the world is changing, and sadly it isn't super uplifting although it is very informative, interesting, and brings forth a sense you really need to make positive changes in the world.<br /><br /...

Simple, small, not extremely detailed but handy in your pocket.
We used this small folding map as we walked around Key West. It served its purpose well, but it lacked a lot of details that would have been useful along the way. All in all, we're happy with it.

A lame attempt at humor and wit, nasty and subjective
While Franken's books use facts to illustrate their points, this book relies on the author's constant barrage of insults and subjective attacks. If you want to read a baseless war on the left, this book is for you. If you enjoy comedic writing, satire, or political banter, avoid this at all costs. Don't waste your t...

This one I can't really give a title to.
This story was amazing in so many bad ways. The main character is portaled/isekai'd into this new world which appears to be some kind of Japanese dating sim/school life computer game. But he not only isn't the clear protagonist, but he remembers enough about this kind of game to try to fight being forced to act the w...

Another tale for frustrated men.
The idea here was one I had a ton of hope for. There is a reason that games like Stardew Valley and Rune Factory work, and that is that people love the idea of helping rebuild a small community through farming and adventure. And so the idea that a young man winds up falling through a portal and taking over a small fa...

The system here is a bit broken and we have the usual dungeon core flaw
The usual dungeon core flaw is that the spirit that controls the dungeon core ends up being a heartless almost soulless entity that exists more as a part of the plot than a true character. And strangely that is exactly what I ended up feeling about Rick and his fellow hired cores Freja and Salter.<br /><br />The idea ...

Typical Logan Jacobs tale. The characters aren't dynamic
My main complaint about Logan Jacobs tales is that the characters tend to be limited. And because of those limits I end up bored reading his tales. I don't dislike anything about them, but they just fail to keep me interested.<br /><br />I think its partly based on the lack of depth to the world and the characters. ...

Logan wrote a tale I could tolerate
I'm not a huge fan of Logan Jacobs. He's a talented writer, but I almost always feel that his tales lack characters. He's a writer of simple tales that are more about getting the female characters undressed and into bed with a male main character who is often less than heroic.<br /><br />And I'll agree that the main ...

This story has a number of plot twists. We do get to learn a bit more about the main character and about events that occured before book 1 in this series. This was impressive.

No real sports, characters with no depth
I've read many books and series written by Simon Archer. He is one of a small group of authors who specialize in quickly written harem tales that are clearly written for a rather specific audience.

I like the idea, but it felt a bit empty
My biggest complaint about dungeon core tales has always been how the power given to the dungeon core twists and warps the character development.

Warning, this is not the end.
Most authors don't attempt a long open-ended tale for their first series. They have a clearly defined end in mind and thanks to the usual pattern of beginning, middle, end, the normal style is to write 3 books.<br /><br />John clearly did not get that message because while this book does conclude a few plot points and...

Its rather "meh"
The problem I have with this story was similar to the ones I've had with many of these isekai harem tales. The female characters just don't have enough depth to support the rather thin plot. The villain is a bit over the top, but the motives and personality of the villain are so heavily clouded that it was hard to ge...

is there a formula for writing this kind of Isekai? I've read this too many times.
Man gets transported to another world and has to save a group of all female characters. Its become a very popular trope in a segment of the fantasy genre, and it seems I encounter a few books every month. Occasionally I risk my sanity and pick one up.<br /><br />Monster Girl Safari is not a bad book. I did finish re...

Someday I'll prevent myself from picking up a book from an author I have reservations about.
This was one of two books I picked up from different authors that I've read before. Both authors write largely what I've started to call incel harem fantasy.

The first book in this series was a bit of a problematic read for me.

She was both one of my favorite...

TLDR: Its average for the genre, with a lot of action, but little to no character depth.<br /><br />Ok, the basics are out of the way. However, the key issue for me was the world building.

I think the only new aspect to this tale is the fact that the girls lay eggs which hatch monsters after a session with the tales hero.

Bleh. Its a incel fantasy.
If I had one complaint about Isekai/LitRPG tales its the fact that so many of the writers in this genre seem to write horrible main characters. And this tale had to be one of the worst I've run into. The main character as usual ends up in a new world, and in this case he's in a robot body at first. He's the new figh...

Azaria as a dungeon had a ton of power.

Now Azaria must exercise even more power, and L...

I had worries, but its still not a bad read.
Not a bad read doesn't mean I hated it, but on the other hand it clearly says I didn't exactly love it either.<br /><br />This is a dungeon core novel that tries very hard to avoid the danger of the core being an emotionless killing machine. Instead Azaria becomes a conflicted tortured soul who is a better killer as a...

I don't know what to say here. The grammar used in the writing is good. The story is well edited.

No new elves, and their still stuck in the bloody apartment (and the secret dungeon.)
This tale has been interesting, but the lack of true character development and plot expansion really rankled. Yes, the MC did leave the apartment (by teleportation) eventually, but for the most part we continue to get the same tale of a morning spent in bed, an afternoon that might have light training and then an even...

I find reviewing this series hard.
I do enjoy this tale. I like the main character, and his harem is interesting, even if they lack depth in so many ways. At the same time I found the near constant displays of at least sections of the stats to be mind-numbingly repetitive. The hero doesn't increase in power often enough to justify the regular display...
