Book Review || The Last Thing She Ever Did by Gregg Olsen

-
Hello Beautiful people, 

I have just finished reading a thriller, and here are my thoughts.

"The Last Thing She Ever Did" is a mystery thriller that revolves around the disappearance of Charlie, a three years old child. Liz is our protagonist, and we are introduced to her when she is a young kid and then we continue with her in her adulthood.

The Last Thing She Ever Did

The characters in this book are all horrible. None of them are good in the slightest. Even the "good guy" is extremely negative (salty 24/7). At some instances I do align with the characters' stances, but then they have to do, say or think something extreme. I didn't mind the morally wrong character, but I can't deny that they made me wanna smash my phone or wish they are just a tiny bit grounded. I wouldn't recommend you this book if you can't handle straight out appalling people. 

I like Detective Esther and Jake. I am all up for reading a book with this duo (they reminded me with the duo from Cold Case)

The plot is simple and predictable. I saw all the twists coming. What was shocking to me is the actions the character make. Moreover, I hate the ending. The ending is just straight up cruel to the reader. The book is called "The Last Thing She Ever Did" and we don't get to know what it is. If I knew it is an open ending book, I might have cared less. However, at the moment I am so disappointed (which explains why my rating has gone down from five to three stars)

The writing is great. The book works like magnet on you. It keeps pulling me and pulling me to read it. I wanted to know what happens next - I HAD to know. The writing is simple. It is captivating, and it gets you involved with all the characters in the book.


Overall, it is an enjoyable read. I don't think this book is for readers who can't handle selfish characters, however, if you don't mind that (or the open ending) it is a great and a thrilling novel. 

I gave this novel (3/5) stars

Hello Netizens, Recently I had the opportunity to visit Cameron Highlands with my family, and spend a whole day away from the busy life of the city. I really enjoyed my short stay there, and I will miss the beautiful sceneries and cold weather of the highlands. The places that I have got to visit are Boh's tea factory & Farm, a Strawberry farm, the forest and the butterfly garden. I got to hike a little (for the first time), making me quite interested to go hiking. We will see what happens about that. I decided to make video, compiling all the places I have visited. It is a mini vlog of my trip to Cameron Highlands. ...

Book Review || Behind the Scenes: Avant-Garde Techniques of Contemporary Design

Hello Beautiful People,  A while ago I've picked up this book on architecture and design from the library, and I finally finished reading it now. The topic interested me, and I thought I would find something useful for my major (I am taking Industrial Design). The book started on a good note, talking about CAD, the software used and how they function. I find the later unnecessary, nevertheless, it is great to read about if you don't know how the software processes your inputs. The book slowly progresses toward techniques architects have used to create their designs. it is interesting, but so much of what is tackled in the book I already knew about. Especially the second half. The book switches to discuss topics such as; interface design, interactivity and VR, which isn't why I have picked this book up for . Moreover, everything the book mentions about VR is generally known knowledge, but written obnoxiously. The writing style makes the book an extreme
