I bailed on this book the writing and dialogue we're terrible.

I ended up bailing on this book. I was really interested in the theme of the book but felt the author treated it too much like a textbook. I quickly lost interest and moved on to my next week.

I am a fan of the time travel genre and always look forward to reading a book with that as its main theme. I found the book to be just OK. The story took very long to get moving and was dry in the middle parts. I believe the author was trying to make you care for the characters and what happened to them. In the end, I couldn't have cared less and I thought his solution to the story could have been better.

Clear does a good job of making his case for building successful habits. I found the book to be a good guide if you want to create habits in your life. There are also so good references to the science behind why we do or don't develop habits.

I felt the main character had it too easy. There was never any challenge for him in the book. Everything came easy for him. There wasn't a single time in the book that events didn't turn out his way.

Taylor's Bobiverse series is fun and imaginative. The fourth book doesn't disappoint. It continues the adventures and brings some new mechanics into the universe that will expand and disrupt it in unseen, but amazing, ways.

While I found the story to be a bit dated, the characters were the driving force of the book. You could have easily lifted them and moved them to any other story and they would have been equally as interesting. It's no wonder Steinbeck won so many awards throughout his career.

The book makes some good points on taking time to just be. To stop and listen to the calm and serenity around us. To not always be in a hurry and be more present with ourselves, those around us, and the world we live in.

An interesting concept for a book. But the exploration of one's ego is something everyone should do. Especially in today's “influencer” culture. Holiday does a good job of stating his case and give you plenty to think upon when you are finished.

While the original comic is superior, this all-star cast does an amazing job of bringing the classic to life.

I had seen the series on Amazon and thought I would check the book out. I enjoyed the book quite a bit but found myself enjoying the series more. I think it was because of how they added parts from later books in the series. If you liked the show, you might be disappointed in the book. It is well written and does give a deeper dive into the characters. But comes up a bit short in the end. I will continue to read the books. I liked them enough to catch up to the show.

I enjoy Hank Green's writing quite a bit. I thought the characters were more flushed out in this sequel and April was toned down to be tolerable. The story ended well and It was a perfect way to end it. With one exception that happens in the last paragraph.

The concept of the story was good, I enjoyed the dream puzzles and the mystery of the alien. But the character of April was too much for me. I dislike that person in real life so having to read a whole book centered around that type of character was a bit much for me. I understand she redeems herself in the end but I couldn't feel happy for her since she hab been terrible throughout the book.

Loved her writing and characters. The book did hit a bit close to home with her post-apocalyptic world. I felt that could be us if we aren't careful.

I enjoy Scalzi's writing style and story ideas. The book was no exception. It was an interesting theme and very interesting how his made up pandemic was very close to what actually happened these past few months.

I think I was 20 years too late in reading this book. If I had read it in the late 80s, it would have had a much stronger effect on me. It's quite remarkable how many of the things he wrote about in the 1980s have come about. His writing is vivid and has so much imagery; it's hard not to like the book. But the story wasn't easy for me to follow, and the main character was hard for me to like.

Sorry, Kristi, I had to bail on the book. The main character was so whinnying and insecure I couldn't suspend belief that she was this great treasure hunter. I also felt the writing could have been tighter. She is very wordy in her book, and it could have been much more straightforward.

While I enjoy Max Brooks's writing style quite a bit. The story for me felt contrived and flat. With the exception of the climax of the book, the pace was slow and I had trouble believing the main character could change so much in a short amount of time.

I enjoyed Pratchett's writing immensely, his characters were quirky and full of life, but I found the story rather lackluster. The character dialogue was engaging as well and I found myself laughing at the exchanges fairly often.

This is my first introduction to Brene Brown. I enjoyed the book, and it was a very timely read, as many of the ideas and concepts that she discusses are at the forefront of the news today.

I had to bail on this book. It wasn't something I was enjoying and I just need to pull the bandaid off and stop reading. While I like Fantasy books, I just wasn't able to get into the story.

Some very good advice for living your life.

The book was enjoyable, but I've realized I'm not Patterson's target audience.

Crouch does a great job sith Science based thrillers. Very similar in feel to his book Dark Matter in terms of writing and content. If you enjoyed that book, you will like this one as well.

Never having read a James Patterson novel, I thought I'd start with his first book. I realize I made a mistake after about 20 pages. The story never grabbed me and I was confused by his time jumps. Not having grown up during the time there were many references I just didn't get.

When I finished the book, I had to Google a synopsis of it to see if I missed something. The ending made little sense. I have read that his later books are much better and I won't knock a writer for putting himself out there. We all have to start somewhere. I'll pick up one of his better-reviewed books and give it another shot.
