Lushly disturbing. Creeeeeepy. Can't wait to read the sequel, which is out tomorrow!

Simply beautiful. The best story I've read in a long, long time.

It was good. I learned a few things, filled in a few gaps, but I feel like Isaacson glossed over too many things. Sometimes the details went deep, but too often he would make an interesting statement, then move on to something else without explaining or expanding on the subject. If you have shy interest in the history of Apple or technology in general, it's definitely worth reading.

Nick Cave's writing us as dark as his music, maybe darker. If you're a fan, you know what you're getting into. If not, approach with caution. I'm glad I've read both of his books, but saying I enjoyed them would be a stretch.

China Miéville is a creative genius. I couldn't even begin to explain this book, but once you've read it, you understand something that has never even occurred to you before to be understood. Which is pretty much what the story is about.

Just read it, you'll see.

Now, China, what's next? I can't wait to read it!

Four gut-wrenching stories of ordinary people in extraordinary situations. The characters in each story do unthinkable things when faced with horrible realities. Are their responses unrealistic? What would you do different? As with most of his stories, there are some very uncomfortable moments which make you very glad to be wrapped up in that blanket sitting surrounded by loved ones.

China Miéville at his best. A bizarre story with a thousand twists and turns, featuring Billy and his preserved giant squid.

Very dark, very realistic, post apocalyptic tale of a father's love and dedication to his son. This was my first Cormac McCarthy and it won't be my last.

It was an adequate way to tie up some lose ends in the vampire chronicles. Not great, but not terrible. Decent enough read that I thought would be appropriate for my trip to New Orleans.
