What a wild ride. It's almost a rollercoaster the way I almost DNFd very early on but kept on and then I was hooked. Haven't read something this enticing in a long time.

Kinda disappointed this wasn't as good as I was hoping. I loved the movie but this doesn't really have the same reincarnation chaos the movie felt like it had.

Exactly the kind of book on spirituality and birds I wanted. The meditations are a little boring but the knowledge about the birds is great.

Almost as good as the first Mark Manson book, if less life-changing. I want everything in the self-improvement genre to be written as beautifully no nonsense as he writes it.

Unique detailed look at cockatiel variations but not much else.

Sarah's Scribbles did it first and better. But entertaining nonetheless.

Would not recommend unless you hate yourself or are reading it with a group like I did. Watch the Hulu series instead.

What a great mind. I always related to him even though everyone says he's a wild mind. Everything he says just makes sense to me .

When I thought this was going to be about her relationships with all the women in her life it was PEAK. and then it kinda just becomes a normal memoir. And I'll read every one she puts out. But it still kinda all runs together after a while.

Liked this one a lot more than Jurassic Park? Even though it was more of the same? Personal preference in the writing I guess

Great little art book for horror game fans. I love when devs know they have something special and produce stuff like this before the masses really latch on.

Decent tie-in to the game. Not much for readers who aren't a fan of the series though.

An alright book but I think it might be bettered by an adaptation. Something about the way it's written (or translated) just didn't work for me. Almost like a satire of children's fiction when it didn't service the story. Or maybe I missed it completely.

Great read for people who are questioning or newly out. But too relatable and familiar otherwise. I have felt and seen all of these stories already, although it's fantastic to collect together for posterity.

Technically I am in the audience for this, but it fell flat for me. I'm not actually a romance book person nor did the promise of monsterfucking deliver in the way I hoped. This is just about a burly dude and the girl who crushes on him until she gets the chance to actually fuck him.

Apparently this is the best book by this author so I'll stop while I'm ahead.

Great trans science fiction using different technology than just a word processor application.

This feels like new age lite. I'm sure when it was initially published it seemed astounding. But I have read many that go further and with more information than this. Baby's forst new age nonfoc? Sure. But if you're way past knowing the names of the energy centers and the concept of energy vampires this might be too beginner for you.

Decent read, no real shocking revelations though.

This was everything I wanted it to be and even more than I expected. I need a full franchise: books, movies, tv series, amusement park, Broadway shows and musicals.

Anyway, this is how you do magical realism! Very glad to have caught this author promoting this on a random morning show one day. Very excited for the next book.

Good pop psychology book. If you read one other book besides Ali Abdaal's in the self help/pop psychology area, make it this one.

Another perfect collection of gorgeous and poignant illustrations

Another great book by Haupt about birds we see everywhere and know nothing about. Less emotional and historical than the starling book but still as cool.

Decent book but nothing new. Funny in the way that he can be. It's also nice to hear coherent thoughts from someone on the other side of the political aisle.

As much as I was overbored with the plot of this series, I wanted to catch up. It might be due to the author starting to move the series or his writing away from YA lit to lit, but the multiple POV doesn't do anything when the MCs are this boring, even as nice as it was to return to characters from the first. And now I see why there was a prequel to begin with. I'll check out other stuff from this author but I think I'm done with this series after this one. In hindsight I think that prequel deserves a half star more than I gave it at the time.

I knew I would like whatever story I started first and it's true, the prequel was much more fun but I read this at the wrong time. If I'd read this when it was first published I would have loved it, 5 stars, best thing ever. Moulin Rouge, a minor character with my name, and written by a true local of NYC where locations are written with love? Iconic. My current self though, does not give a eff about YA lit so I just rushed through it and will get through the last book, but I can't say I really rec it to anyone besides locals who “get it”.
