Tyler Kieft's Most Popular Reviews

I can appreciate why this is a classic, but I really despised reading it. Not my style and not my humor, that's for sure. Feels like something that's been taken out of context in the present day. Repetitive, too many characters which all blend together, and often feeling like it was written by an amateur writer, with too many thesaurus-derived adjectives thrown in. However, at certain points, I enjoyed it, and even thought, wow, this is genius. 4 stars, but I hope I never have to read it again.

y'all I never thought I would be a King fan but this was just tremendous. A page turner from start to finish, and besides some of the typical King formula, pretty well written too

I had this on my shelves for the longest time, and finally got around to reading it. I was surprised at my experience of this book vs. how much publicity and excitement I remember it getting when it was released. This is clearly a first novel, there are touches of John Irving-esque genius and writing style, but the book is overall unsatisfying and leaves more questions than answers.

I hope to god that someday I get to experience loving someone this much

The author seems like a giant tool, but there are a lot of interesting ideas in here. The perfect book for me to read right now, as I am trying to figure out where my life is headed.

The book spends a lot of time talking about money as related to time and health, and how to balance those three to achieve an optimal life (which the author defines as having great experiences and memories).

I'll definitely download the app and play around with it.
