This series is so freaking good.

Interesting read, but way too long.

That only took 8 1/2 months..

The ending was a bit depressing, but overall the series was excellent.

I love the history of computers and I love graphic novels. I should've loved this book, but I just found the format too distracting to get into it.

Do you have a burning desire to know what a moderately well-known comedian thinks of every fast food restaurant in the country? No? Then you can probably skip this one. There's really no redeeming value in it, but in terms of something to listen to at the gym, it was ok.

I'm extremely dubious of the health claims, and I think blaming all our problems on a single food is a bit simplistic. However, I do believe that many of today's problems can be attributed to highly processed foods, particularly refined carbohydrates. I also believe that most of the foods being called healthy whole grains (whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread) are still highly refined carbs.

Some of his points are probably valid, but personally, I'll think I'll stick with the Michael Pollan approach: Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

Took me a long time to finish, because life, but that shouldn't be a reflection on the quality of the book.

I can't quite figure out who the target audience is for this. If you're a fangirl or lady geek you probably know pretty much everything in the book, and if you're not, you're probably not going to pick it up in the first place.

It's not a bad book, per se, but I don't really see the point of it.

Decent introduction to basic library marketing. It was interesting to read about some of his more clever ideas. The sections on website usability and Facebook ads were really simplistic - OK as a general introduction, but there are countless books and resources out there that provide much better information.

Light and fluffy, but just what I needed to end my reading draught.

My favorite Hawkeye book so far.

Interesting, but not quite engrossing enough for listening to at the gym. My mind wandered a fair amount.

Loved the characters, but the plot didn't do much for me.

Laugh out loud funny at parts. I definitely got more out of the sections on the books I've actually read, but even when I didn't get the references it was good.

Certainly not as strong as Storm of Swords, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I was led to believe. I know a lot of people complained about it dragging, but I've been binge reading so much lately that I finished it in 10 days, so I didn't really get that feeling.

Gorgeous photos of adorable puppies. What's not to love?

Nothing special and only semi-entertaining. It kept my mind occupied on the drive through the desert. I wouldn't recommend anything other than the audiobook. Having Offerman read it was pretty much the only redeeming value.

Decent narrative, and the format was an interesting experiment, but ultimately flawed.

The last line of the second chapter. That's when I fell in love with this book.

Reminded me a lot of Catch Me If You Can and A Million Little Pieces in that “look how bad I am” kind of way. But this time with computers.

This is one of the most relatable memoirs I've ever read. The schoolyard politics, being mistaken for a boy, identifying with male role models, boys wanting girly girls, and constantly having your sexuality questioned (something I still deal with) - it perfectly captures so much of my childhood and adolescence. It also sends a great message to all tomboys: the problem isn't with being a girl, it's with the expectations put on girls by society. I would've given anything to have had this book as a teenager.

I mostly skimmed this. It was a decent manual for a not-so-great product.

hilarious.

This was basically a regurgitation of The Filter Bubble and The Shallows, both of which were superior books. While there were some good sources for information, the primary message was not so much one of how to deal with information overload (or information obesity as the author calls it) as one of how to be better informed so you can be a better citizen and be more involved in politics. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but that's not why I picked this book. Overall, the book was scattered, as if the author couldn't quite decide what exactly his point was, which is ironic, considering the subject matter.
