 Ευανάγνωστο με απλή κατανοητή γραφή. Καλή παρουσίαση δεδομένων, ανάλυσης τους και ενδαφέρουσα εξαγωγή συμπερασμάτων/προτασεων.

3.5

A good presentation and analysis of the information available regarding the Philadelphia experiment. Easy to understand by the average person. ( It got a little repetitive at times)
Do I believe that the experiment actually happened? Of course not! For sure, they tested some weird theories, but the Philadelphia experiment as it's described is just a conspiracy.

 I was really disappointed by this one. Idk if it was because I was too excited or because I read all the books one after the other.
I was really tired of the writing. The same words and sayings and again not the characters were too similar.
I was expecting it to be more exciting. More action, and more suspense, and it was kinda boring. It took me 2-3 months to get through the first 50%. The other half was a little bit better.
In general, I realise that this author is not for me. I don't like the writing style or how she builds her characters. It's not the worst. It's a decent book/series, but not my cup of tea.

Αρχικά θα ήθελα να επισημάνω ότι είμαι φαν της Ευσταθίου. Ωστόσο, το συγκεκριμένο βιβλίο δεν είναι από τα καλύτερα της. Συνεχίζει να είναι ένα πολύ ωραίο βιβλίο, με καλογραμμένους χαρακτήρες και ενδιαφέρουσα πλοκή. Μου αρέσει που πάντα και οι δεύτεροι χαρακτήρες έχουν ολοκληρωμένες προσωπικότητες και συμβάλλουν ενεργά στην εξέλιξη της ιστορίας. 
Η αδυναμία του βιβλίου, ήταν κάποιες επαναλαμβανόμενες φρασαιολογίες και χαρακτηρισμοί. Επίσης κάποιες μεταφορές και κλισέ που σε έκαναν να νιώθεις λίγο...άβολa? (cringe). Βέβαια ήταν σε πολύ μικρό βαθμό αλλά δεν παύει να είναι κάτι που παρατήρησα. Η συγγραφέας στο πρόλογο του βιβλίου αναφέρει πως δυσκολεύτηκε αρκετά για την ολοκλήρωση του βιβλίου και ως συστηματικός αναγνώστης της, το κατάλαβα.
Συνεχίζει να είναι ένα πολύ καλό βιβλίο και θα προέτρεπα κάποιον να το διαβάσει απλώς η Ευσταθίου έχει δημοσιεύσει πολύ καλύτερες δουλείες.

Nothing special. It could be a bonus chapter in the previous book. 
Read it from the author's website. There is no need to give money for this. Its a Micahel and Rika's relationship update (mostly sex).

I was so excited for Damos' story, cause he had so much to offer. So much potential with his personality his past trauma etc. But we got so little...What we got was the bare minimum and I am really disappointed. 
Also, Penelope's writing is starting to irritate me because it's exactly the same in every book. She uses the same cliche phrases all the time, the same words...
I am going to finish the series cause I am almost done now and a what to see if Will has a personality in his book, but I probably never read a Penelope Douglas book again.

 A cute romance book. As the story started getting interesting, every problem that came up was just solved so quickly. The start of the book was a little bit slow and then suddenly everything was happening all at once.
It reminds me of a cute romance vintage movie.
It wasn't bad, but nothing special. I probably won't recommend it to anyone, but if you have anything else to read and it's the only book available ( I don't know how this may happen but..) you will have a somewhat nice time reading it.
