Best Graphic Novel, next only to The Arrival, in my opinion.
Cute, gorgeous art and use of color.

Know her from parks and recreation fame. Her accent itself makes me laugh. Hilarious.
Surprisingly, we have something in common which was revealed towards the end of the book. Our obsession over Hamilton, the musical :)

Disappointing.
Well, that can be the case with any sequel. Although the book tries to answer some questions about Gilead and its laws, the story itself doesn't have a premise or a build up. It's sad for it to follow after the amazing Handmaid's Tale. Received this as a Christmas present in secret santa pre-covid. Only got around to reading it now.

Went on a Sidney Sheldon binge. Not proud of it. -_-

Performed by Martin Freeman. Would have preferred Stephen Fry.

Usually, I would sell my soul for anything read by Lin Manuel Miranda, but the sequel to the amazing : Aristotle and Dante novel, fails to dazzle. It felt childish and not as profound as the other book. Had waited for it for so long only to not meet my expectations.
Wouldn't recommend.

A heartwarming story about a boy out to get revenge. Wasn't expecting the book to be as good.

Never read the books, but watched the movies.
A nice adaptation.

Honestly, I am so behind on reviewing, its embarrassing.
Vaguely remember liking the intricately woven plot and the careful use of time.

Another classic from Jeffrey Archer.

A twist that will stay with you for a while.
As with the previous novel, Michaelides has some serious talent.

After watching the movie of the same name, I was curious to check the book out. As expected it didn't disappoint. Although I didn't get all the 80s / 90s references, the book was a joy to listen to. Narration by Will Wheaton was on point. A little skeptical of picking up it's sequel, due to its astonishingly bad reviews. At times, I found the book to be a little childish.

In an unrelated note, the book had me doing the same thing I do with Dan Brown novels. Google any art piece. Just in this case it was arcade games and board games.

Would recommend to any Sci-Fi fans :)

Do not care for it much.
Lacked in suspense.

Hands down best suspense novel I've read in a while.
Hard to believe this was the author's debut novel. With unexpected plot twists and an epic reveal, the book won me over. Had my jaw dropped towards the end. Given the amount of murder mysteries I read, that level of shock is rare.

Would 100 % recommend to any suspense fan.

A touching story about the incarceration of Japanese Americans in the US after World War II.
Although the artwork's stunning, the main ability of the character was never explained. Which felt a little odd to me. Why not just tell the history of your people without elaborate plot points to make it interesting?
A decent read though.

First Swedish author, was on TBR since more than a year.
An endearing story about, well you guessed it, a man called Ove.
The book takes us through a man's journey through life, through love and loss.
Very few authors have a hold on me. Glad to add another one to the list!

Jeffrey Archer never disappoints.

Every bit as fast paced as a Lisa Gardner book should be. Especially loved the detailed research about spiders for the villain of the book. Sometimes I wonder how many murder mysteries is too many.
Won't be learning the answer to that any time soon.

Always a fan of a good murder mystery.
Lisa Gardner is a good story teller and keeps the audience guessing till the last chapter.
Listened to the audio book of one of her books for the first time.

Good artwork with an average story.
Was expecting a little more, story-wise as the book is meant for older audience.

Did not know this was originally written in 1900s.
A good engaging story with twists at the right points.
The narration did feel a bit monotonous at the start, but picked up as the story progressed.
Premise of the book was new, and interesting. The execution, not so much. No pun intended.

Kept the reader guessing till the last chapter.
The narrator felt a bit monotonous at times. Story has 5 stars from me, but the book felt unnecessarily long, hence the 3 stars.

Was putting it off for quite some time now. Its about America's history and civil right's movement.
The artwork is primitive, but it's enough to get the message across. Will be saving the next two books in the trilogy to a particularly boring day.

Was on my TBR since a year, I believe.
A good YA graphic novel with a twist you possibly couldn't predict.
Would recommend.

When I found out that Mike Schur has written a book, I jumped at my phone to search if its available in my library to borrow. As my favorite writer for most of the comedy show's I've watched, I had high hopes from his book. And it didn't disappoint.
Not only is the book a guide to moral philosophy, it is also, surprise surprise, funny.
As the author very rightly mentions, we do not have time to read books on philosophy. And when we do, the literature is so difficult to read, that you just wish there was a summary of it all somewhere.
Mike Schur did the job for us folks.
Reading / Listening to this book, will give you an introduction to most of moral philosophy. Recommended for those who like philosophy.
