I quite liked the book, but the main character seemed a bit off. I can't put my finger on it, but he felt underwritten if that makes sense. The book is a classic who-done-it mystery with the twist that the “Homes” and “Watson” characters are in a different world with its challenges of being invaded by giant creatures from the deep. I know it sounds weird, but it worked in the book.

While not a perfect book, I enjoyed the concept of a book with magical powers. The characters were somewhat cliche, but overall, it was an entertaining book.

I'm a huge fan of Towles's work. His books always have such vivid descriptions and great characters.

I'm a sucker for books that feature libraries or bookshops as their main theme, so it was no surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed ‘The Lost Bookshop.' The author skillfully weaved history and mystery throughout the narrative, creating a captivating storyline. While the ending wasn't particularly surprising, the author's storytelling was filled with charm and authenticity, making it a delightful read.

Grant's insights are always eye-opening. Great book for looking at potential in each of us

This book was just not my style. I read about 100 pages and couldn't get behind the concept.

This is another fun and quick read from our favorite sentient killing machine.

Couldn't finish the book. The first part was decent, but when he gets off the motorcycle he lost my interest.

I loved the concept of this book, and the execution was spot on as well. If you are looking for a new start in life, this is a great book to motivate you to do so.

A Superb Approach to Nurturing Leaders, Fostering Growth, and Cultivating Trust.

It's a typical Scalzi book, which isn't bad. Interesting story and a quick read.

The book does a great job of explaining what is in our foods these days. The author breaks down why they put these things in our foods and explains how to live a better life through the foods we eat.

The book wasn't for me, it couldn't keep my interest.

A good book on how we engineer in our world. This is in contrast to how we make scientific discoveries.

Her books are so hit-and-miss with me. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is one of my favorite books from the last few years. But I couldn't get into this book, and after a few hours, I put it down, knowing I wouldn't pick it up again.

As a person who loves Blake Crouch's work I was very disappointed with this book. I'm not a fan of Western period books to begin with but I figured if anyone could get me into the genre it would be Crouch. I was wrong. I would skip this book.

Her books always make me think and reconsider how I'm living my life. They always give me plenty to chew upon as I go about my day. Using science and research to develop theories of how people act and behave and then providing simple explanations for complex problems. They aren't easy fixes by any means. Her data will make you think and ask yourself hard questions.

I couldn't get into the book. I put it down after a few hours of reading just could never come back to it.

It's nice to read her books and see what her current research is showing. I'm shocked but not surprised at what she and her staff are finding out about our behaviors. Many times during the reading, I had to stop and say, “Yep, that is exactly how I would react.” and then work through how it was the wrong reaction and what I was actually feeling that made me react that way. Her books are always a good spot to start for self-reflection.

I enjoyed Le Guin stories quite a bit. This one was no exception. Very well written, and her character descriptions are well thought out.

I started reading it and wasn't enjoying the concept.

Great book if you're looking for a better understanding of shame in fear in our culture. Brown discusses her finding in interviewing 1000s of people who want to live a more genuine life. She discusses the things that stop us from doing that and how to overcome them to improve our lives.

If you want a great book on the behind-the-scenes at Pixar, plus a view into the creative process and management of creative people. This is your book.

I enjoyed Jemisin's The Broken World series, so I thought I'd try this one. And yes, I know I started with the 2nd book, but it didn't matter. After 20 pages, I didn't like the story or characters. It wasn't a book for me.
