Reading the impetus of cyberpunk is awesome. It is the sci-fi equivalent of looking through frosted glass. I had a great time but kinda wasn't sure what was going on. If you like cyberpunk you should read it.
While this wasn't my favorite read, it really did come together at the end and made me want to keep going. Fantasy books without maps are fun. Cool and neat!
The typical dystopian future with enough of a New Twist without it being old hat! I always love when a book immediately makes you want to read the next book, which is what happened.
Every time I think “SMG isn't going to replicate the wonder I felt reading Mexican Gothic,” but immediately felt pulled back in. Her characters suck me in right away. She is a gem to literature.
If you are a Prequel Purist, thirsty for more of what makes Obi-Wan and Anakin's bond so much fun in The Clone Wars, this should quench you for a bit. ;)
Ah! A circus book. These are always nice, aren't they? There's some romance, some kind tender moments, some razzle dazzle! No, not in this one. This one just made me sad. All worth it to read that final couple of lines.
Definitely the Murakami I will remember with the most striking images in my head. So many loose threads. Would love to talk to a friend about this book.
Since Murakami rarely does interviews, it'd books like this that give us insights into how he thinks and how he is. Murakami nuts should definitely read it.
Cute and compact — the beginning was fun cuz it was literally 100 pages of “wait, what is going on? Why is?” Delighted as it went on. Brb googling the validity of fonts.
Very cool book about art, the AIDS crisis, and what it means to love others. 2. Took a while, but I was able to differentiate ALL of the characters – there are a lot of names. 3. 1980's sections was very strong. Some people find the 2015 sections weaker, but I liked those too! 4. Let it envelope you!
5. Took me 7 months to read. I found the pages to be dense with information, hardly a word that could be glossed over. I bet Makkai really wants you to read every single word to understand things completely. I had to stop because I wasn't making fast enough progress. Glad I finally sat down to finish it all. What a neat book – characters are alive, Makkai does a great job of bringing Chicago alive on the page.
Deeply haunting. A read that is both profoundly unique and universal. Slight supernatural elements that weren't the focal point of the story or obnoxious. Imagery for engraining.
This book feels like it's an Olde Classic but was written fairly recently (80s?) and it reads like it. It is a fantastic book that manages to weave a very intricate pair of stories together without being boring or difficult at all. I love it a lot!!!
I find it refreshing to see memoirs in the forms of graphic novels - this opens up a new way for people to talk about their lives. I want to see this movie and learn more about Ms Satrapi.
