Just a really good retrospective on the British motoring industry and how a few very iconic cars came to be, and the people behind them

Utterly devastating. An exploration of grief, culture and life itself. It's as hard to read as it's beautifully written

Unbelievably funny, deeply unexpected, can't wait to read the rest of the series

This is just an absolutely magical experience. The concept is brilliant to begin with, but the execution doesn't lag behind. One of the best debuts I've ever read

No secret to anyone how much I love John Green's writing and these essays, based on his podcast of the same name, are wonderful. Just reflexions and thoughts on little things from daily life such as the Notes app or Teddy Bears, but also a Liverpool Goalkeeper performance from 2005, leading to bigger concepts from our existence as members in a society, but also individuals.

It feels a lot like a conversation where John is exploring these ideas with a reader, rather than a boring speech of pretensious ideas.

If you like his fiction, you will love this

This is so unique as a concept that it's hard to talk about without spoilers

But the reward that we get for diving in time and space inside this universe is so worth the initial disconfort while you get used to the specifics. It's short, but very intense. A lovely experience to follow the threads of the story

“For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by.”

What a wonderful experience. Anything I could say would fall short of it's brilliance. Backman's writing makes us feel that Ove could be our neighbour, making his journey that much more special. When all the little details of the plot fall in place, it's simply magical

I loved Into The Wild, and Krakauer's writing shines again in this true-crime-esque research into murder inside a deeply religious community. The level of detail is just amazing, and the analysis into “the first big modern religion” and the way it grew over the United States and the world is essential reading.

Memoir from an F1 mechanic, specifically from Benetton in Schumacher's first two titles. A lot of amazing backstage stories from cars and drivers. Such a unique perspective and good writing

What an amazing experience. With no previous information, you could not tell this is a work of fiction. The writing style is so unique, but the plot supports that styling inovation so perfectly. It's like reading a documentary. It wouldn't take much for it to crumble, but it doesn't

It's worth the hype, 100%

For a book on health issues and hospital experiences, this is unbelievably funny. The stories are amazing and accessible in language to people outside the medical environment, and the criticism of the lack of investment in public healthcare is the cherry on top. Just a fantastic piece of perspective on a really tough job, but will make you laugh just as easily as it can make you cry

This is a really interesting plot that just falls short of it's full potential. It's not bad by any means, but it could've been so much better if it was just a little more polished. Feel like the second half of the book just flows so much more than the first, so it ends on a high note, but the start holds it back a bit

If the Clarkon's Farm show is where Jeremy is at his best, this is his worst. While there's a couple of interesting sections on farming, there's also so much of conservative stereotyping and insults that reek of bitter old man who's stuck while the world moves on. It's weak and repetive
