I'm not sure why, maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this style of book, but it just didn't really grab me.
Ugh. These kinds of stories always get to me. I love the wistful ponderings of nostalgia that take you back to simpler times.
It was an interesting story, but the writing style wasn't my favorite. The lack of quotation marks around the speech kinda drove me nuts, and I couldn't discern the purpose of that stylistic choice.
It's a much different tone than the troop, but it's still creepy, and it's very grotesque. Loved it!
Pretty decent read. I enjoyed the voice that it was told in, and the description of the monsters was really cool. I felt pretty invested in the characters that I could remember who they were, but I definitely got a few of them mixed up at times.
Not a bad little batch of stories. Even though it's highly unlikely that you can relate directly to these situations (Since the setting is 1930s), I felt like it reminded me of universal situations that all people can ascribe to their childhood. Was kinda slow for my tastes right now, but it was still a good vignette of summer time adventures and being a kid discovering the wide world and what that means, if that makes sense.
Really fun, clever characters, but definitely brings to mind all of the spin happening about climate change. Oof.
I feel like I don't know nearly enough about soviet/Russian culture to be able to appreciate this.
It seems like a book all about fan service to the podcast, and seeing as how I've never listened to it, I think I'm going to pass.
I'm not sure why this one didn't click with me. I think it was mostly just not what I was in the mood for. I was expecting more paranormal horror.
Got a little halo'd out. Too many military documents in an audiobook.
I'm honestly not sure what initially drove me to check this book out, but I just can't really seem to find myself interested in the characters and the world.
