I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but it's not 4 elements. It's bbq, soup, bread, cheese with a dash of pickling. I feel as if so much more could have been put into the 4 elements. It was educational and there was a lot of the topics I enjoyed, but it didn't wow me.

I was torn between 2 and 3 stars but felt more like 2. There were a few funny parts but I didn't love the chatty type of tone throughout the authors writing. It felt like reading intrusive thoughts or listening to an acquaintance trauma dump at a party. I found the author trying to be funny but not actually funny.

The way I screamed “I finally finished it” when I was done...this book is fine. There are some really great small storylines I enjoyed. It definitely could have been 150 pages shorter. 3.5 and rounded up.

I love dystopian novels but this one hits hard. There are so many parallels for today. Lauren as a character was relatable for me. She is logical and I loved that about her. However, I didn't love the religious aspect of it. Her earthseed verses were fascinating but not something that intrigued me about the story. Overall a fantastic story!

I am huge fan of station eleven and this is another great sci fi novel. She does a wonderful job intertwining stories and capturing humanity through major historic events through time. I would recommend if you want something with multiple plots with an array of characters all coming together.

I laughed, I cried, I couldn't put it down. This set of essays is beautifully written. I'm pretty sure this is now one of my favorite collections of essays.

3.5/5 -This is a collection of ghost stories which I found beautifully written. This reads like a collection of short essays. However it couldn't always keep my attention.

This was an amazing memoir. I will be thinking about this for days. She's a holocaust survivor who has had to figure life out over again. This is a must read if you have a spare hour or so.

The story is cliche. But the art makes up for it. It's stunning and I love images use for the chapters.
