As Good As Dead

Wrote a review for

The truly questionable decisions of characters will have you slamming your head at the wall. Entertaining read, and a somewhat satisfying conclusion to the trilogy? Seems though that this third book was not originally planned, and all (?) clues and pointers were only planted in this book. Lines of the big bad also sound comically extreme and unnatural, which I could not take seriously and kinda took me out of it (sorry). Wild idea but if you think you're being stalked to be murdered, maybe don't not tell your family who you live with? Maybe don't leave the house by yourself? Maybe don't tell the police who phoned you up to check if you were still being stalked that nahhh everything's fine dw about it anymore?who would have thought dude im screaaaaaaaaaaammmming

easy and compelling read. entertaining for sure, the conclusion felt kinda drawn out of a hat though, which was somewhat unsatisfying.

Cringe behaviour of characters in this book has helped me get over haunting memories of things I did myself in school. Cheaper than therapy.

Not really the point of the book, but it has convinced me that I do actually in fact need to touch grass every now and then.

a pretty easy read for something designed to be informative! While this is definitely not a textbook lol, I think more of its value comes from getting to see things around you differently, and to challenge the assumptions and individual defaults we've made about decor choice. Consumption of this book definitely benefits from searching up images of the works mentioned!!

in terms of where the last star was docked for me, I found the narritive a bit beige, and so it doesn't quite dazzle in that way. It could have done with some summaries (I'm gonna have to go back through and make notes) as I'm struggling to recall many specific suggestions. Activity sheet included is a very nice interactive element though!

The Kite Runner

Fiction is for living lives you've never had, and I think this is the perfect explanation for that. Probably the best book I could have picked up to get back into reading again.

(Half a star docked for too many coincidences, kinda took me out of it just by a tad)
