The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons: The History of the Human Brain as Revealed by True Stories of Trauma, Madness, and Recovery

Wrote a review for

This book is filled to the brim with interesting stories on how people learned about how the brain worked. Each section of the book follows the same formula, which unfortunately gets stale by the end of the book.

How Iceland Changed the World: The Big History of a Small Island

Wrote a review for

I wanted to like this book more than I did. The ancient history and connections to other historic countries was very interesting, but I lost interest once the story got closer to present day.

Additionally, I didn’t think any of those sections discussing the author’s life on Iceland or the boat added anything to this book.

This Inevitable Ruin

Wrote a review for

This series keeps getting crazier and crazier… and I’m no longer sure if that’s a good thing. The plot felt convoluted and it was often hard to follow everything that was happening simultaneously. That being said, the characters are always wonderful and Matt Dinniman blends the action and humor extremely well.

My favorite entry in the series. The story does a wonderful job pulling from all previous entries and creates the best adventure for Murderbot yet!

Press Reset: Ruin and Recovery in the Video Game Industry

Wrote a review for

In-depth and well-researched as always from Jason Schreier, but sometimes it felt like he was constantly going down rabbit holes of specific game developers before jumping back to the original game studio. It was a good book with some interesting stories, but I’d still prefer Blood, Sweat, and Pixels.
