The Chemist
The Chemist | Stephenie Meyer
In this gripping page-turner, an ex-agent on the run from her former employers must take one more case to clear her name and save her life. She used to work for the U.S. government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon. When her former handler offers her a way out, she realises it's her only chance to erase the giant target on her back. But it means taking one last job for her ex-employers. To her horror, the information she acquires makes her situation even more dangerous. Resolving to meet the threat head-on, she prepares for the toughest fight of her life but finds herself falling for a man who can only complicate her likelihood of survival. As she sees her choices being rapidly whittled down, she must apply her unique talents in ways she never dreamed of. In this tautly plotted novel, Stephenie Meyer creates a fierce and fascinating new heroine with a very specialised skill set. And she shows once again why she's one of the world's bestselling authors.

Big departure from the Twilight series. I loved the characters and their developing relationships. The storyline and voice actor made this a great road trip #audio book. #christyread #action

A goodwill find. I like her writing. Not even going to apologize for it. (Though I admit rethinking part of the twilight story line makes me see some of the cringy bits. I still really enjoyed them at the time however.)

I had high hopes for this book. But the romance part of the story was ridiculous. Felt like a YA romance in a thriller about biological weapons, torture and spies. Nope.

This was a myTBR recommendation for me a couple months ago. I tried, y‘all. I really tried, but at the 40% mark with 10 1/2 hours left, I just can‘t. The characters are flat, unbelievable, and annoying, and the writing is juvenile. It feels like Meyer was writing with an anatomy textbook and thesaurus in front of her, trying to sound smart and failing. I also wished the MC had died with her lab partner before the book even started. #NotForMe

The very beginning, a few pages in the middle, and the end matched the cover art here - a half-pint trauma-doctor-for-hire hiding from her own government. But a good 2/3 of this book felt like a whole other genre of a girl experiencing the first boy-crush of her life. If 1/2 of the 2/3 had been edited from this book book it may have earned a pick from me.

The paragraph above hits different in today‘s world, doesn‘t it? Review wise, the references to psychosis at the start were really inaccurate, feeding into a lot of negative stereotypes about mental illness. The author moved on from that and the story sucked me in but I found a lot of the writing quirks that don‘t bother me in a YA book didn‘t translate well to an ‘adult‘ book. On the plus side one down on my self imposed challenge!

The Chemist didn't meet its potential. There were parts of the book that were tense and thrilling. Sadly, Meyer doesn't seem to know when to quit talking about something (and, further, not to revisit it excessively later on). A severe edit would have done wonders.

Oh, where have you been all these years?! Just starting this but the first few pages have me tingling with interest. An intelligent woman who worked secretly with the government is on the run for her life. Loaded with details of how she covers her tracks and protects herself. Don‘t let me down!

Between a pick and a so so. Read it for a book club and enjoyed it enough to finish in a weekend. Had a very hard time thinking of questions to ask at book club. I don‘t think there‘s much to discuss here. Lots of action, lots of guns, big summer block buster of a book. My sticky notes are things I want to discuss, but all very surface level. 🙄

Why the hate for Stephenie Meyer? I don't mind her. I just want to be completely engrossed in a story and be made to feel something. If you catch my attention and make me forget the world around me for a few minutes, I call that a win. I was super busy and it took me a month to find enough time to read this in full. It was a little slow at first, but somewhere near the middle of the book it picked up the pace. A coworker loaned it to me randomly.

Trying to keep up with reviews. All I have to say is that I respect this author a lot. As a result, I wanted to read something by her which was not the saga she is so well known for, but I was afraid to be disappointed. Thankfully, it's furthest from the truth. The main character is funny, relatable, and jump-of-the-page real. The supporting characters are just as strong. And despite all of the odds... that ending. 😭😍❤️📚🎉 #nospoilers #scifi

So far I am enjoying this one. I didn‘t really enjoy the twilight books by Meyer so I took a chance and gave this one a shot. It‘s kept my interest and has me turning page after page surprisingly, main character Alex thought process seems so robotic when she thinks of Daniel it‘s entertaining. The action in this adds to its appeal for me as well.

It feels so weird to be back from vacation already. Thankfully my coworkers helped me manage my caseload, so it is not as overwhelming as I feared. And there is always reading to help me cope. This is my current book, and so far it's definitely engaging and worthwhile. #currentlyreading

My eyes may be bigger than my speed of reading. Pro of working at the library access to a lot of books I don‘t own. Plus don‘t have to make room in my already too large collection of Books. And saves me money. Con of it is that I check out all the books I want to read but I still have so many waiting to be read at home. There are not enough Hours in the day!! the top two are sequels to books I‘ve read and I‘m excited to see what happens next!

Stephanie Meyer has improved a lot over the years, this book was engaging and I loved the whole story. I recommend the audiobook as well, I‘ve really enjoyed this story and was on the edge of my seat more than once! Some people have issues with the slower pace to get the story going, but once it‘s on the move it goes fast. Like I said the audiobook helps a lot to get through the slower parts.

I have never read the Twilight series and never will. Do not read vampire books. However I lived Stephenie's The Host. Finally got to this one. Lived it too. Love how her books make me think. This one about whether or not torture is ever acceptable.

Mindyrecycles I enjoyed the twilights but really hated The Host. 😂 5y
InnerSavvy @Mindyrecycles love how everyone has different tastes. I loved how The Host made me think about the value of life...whose is more valuable. 5y

The Chemist was no comparison to Twilight— not bad, not good, but just meh. I do think it should‘ve been shorter simply bc it easily ‘could-have-been‘ & without sacrificing anything or any meat. Also, it was a book club read (and I‘m the one that submitted this book for reading) and I was very disappointed that there were no pre-written book club discussion questions by Meyers or on her website :/

Have you read this book yet? I am doing the audio book so no looking ahead. It is a little difficult & rough at the moment. Was looking for a little relief & happy thought!!

I really enjoyed this read. An ex-agent is on the run from her former employer. They called her The Chemist and she uses her unique set of skills trying to outsmart, out run what they have in store for her. It was super fast paced with a little romance thrown in. This book has a ton of highly skilled K-9s throughout the book. I‘m always been intrigued by well trained dogs and what they can really do. It really added to the uniqueness of this book.

Paula3 I thought this was an amazing, fast paced story 6y

Wow. This was so much better than I expected. It‘s not a book I ever intended to read, but when your grandmother shoves a book at you because she loved it so much it‘s really hard to turn it down. It was action-packed and engaging and well paced, and the main character was awesome. Full review here: http://novelnotions.net/2018/07/18/the-chemist/

So I have decided that I like audio books! I have a 30 minute commute to work each day, so I started listening to the book instead of the radio. I knew my limits at home, and would read the book instead of listening to the audio. Worked out great for me. I'm sure some of you all have been doing this for a while- I'm just a little late to the show lol! But I did enjoy this book much better than the Host. It was a surprisingly good read!

Bookzombie Yay! Glad you are enjoying audiobooks! 6y
