Incredibly done, woven together perfectly, and a gut punch of an end. I can't wait for the rest of this series.

Reviewed: 09-13-24
First, while Rob Bell is an enthusiastic narrator, he needs an editor. Long pauses, sips of drinks?, mispronounced words that are corrected as he goes... definitely not professionally narrated. Secondly, the characters are too nice to actually have done what they've purported to do. Lots of problems with the logistics of how this system is supposed to work. Not much actually happens. Long teaching sections which are supposed to show us how wrong the system of governance is, but I don't really care about the system at all, so whatever. I am now less likely to pick up any book written by Rob Bell.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 146
Since its 2009 launch, the Kepler satellite has discovered more than 2,000 exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system. More exoplanets are being discovered all the time, remarkable in their variety. Astronomer Michael Summers and physicist James Trefil explore these remarkable recent discoveries: planets revolving around pulsars, planets made of diamond, planets that are mostly water, and numerous rogue planets wandering through the emptiness of space.

This true story - as true as Lemony Snicket himself - begins with a puzzling note under his door: You had poison for breakfast. Following a winding trail of clues to solve the mystery of his own demise, Snicket takes us on a thought-provoking tour of his predilections: the proper way to prepare an egg, a perplexing idea called “tzimtzum”, the sublime pleasure of swimming in open water, and much else.

In the world of Gnomon, citizens are constantly observed and democracy has reached a pinnacle of "transparency". Every action is seen, every word is recorded, and the System has access to its citizens' thoughts and memories - all in the name of providing the safest society in history. When suspected dissident Diana Hunter dies in government custody, it marks the first time a citizen has been killed during an interrogation. The System doesn't make mistakes, but something isn't right about the circumstances surrounding Hunter's death.

Reviewed: 03-28-21
I have no idea how the author does this. How small details show up later as keys to the struggle. How each character, wildly and deeply developed, keeps coming back to the top in the mix. HOW THIS BOOK IS EVEN POSSIBLE. Nick Harkaway is a genius.

I read The Girl with all the Gifts and The Boy on the Bridge and enjoyed them, but I wasn't sure I wanted to spend a credit on this one. I'm so glad I did! Well told with a compelling main character, an interesting world, and a suspenseful storyline. I thought I could predict the story at a few points and I was surprised to be wrong! No easy outs here. And the narrator is FANTASTIC.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 868
Your mom probably told you it's what on the inside that counts. Well, then she was never a competitive figure skater. Olympic medalist Adam Rippon has been making it pretty for the judges even when, just below the surface, everything was an absolute mess. From traveling to practices on the Greyhound bus next to ex convicts to being so poor he could only afford to eat the free apples at his gym, Rippon got through the toughest times with a smile on his face, a glint in his eye, and quip ready for anyone listening. Beautiful on the Outside looks at his journey.

Reviewed: 03-05-20
I love this series and have been waiting for this installment. It begins with a wonderful previously published short story. But after that, all these characters do is talk and talk and think about talking and second-guess all the thoughts and all the decisions and have conflicts with hidden(to the reader) motives. And the action moves at a snail's pace, flipping between the past and the future until we finally, excruciatingly arrive at the central event, which is so anticlimactic that I wondered what I'd missed. The author says the next book's long, I hope it's better.

S.T., a domesticated crow, is a bird of simple pleasures: hanging out with his owner Big Jim, trading insults with Seattle's wild crows (i.e. "those idiots"), and enjoying the finest food humankind has to offer: Cheetos®. Then Big Jim's eyeball falls out of his head, and S.T. starts to think something isn't quite right. Even the slobbering affection of Big Jim's loyal but dim-witted dog, Dennis, fails to cure Big Jim's debilitating malady. S.T. is left with no choice but to abandon his old life and venture out into a wild and frightening new world with his trusty steed Dennis.

Honestly, except for the foul language, it comes across as a YA book. If I were an editor, I'd clean it up, repackage it for a younger audience, and voila! It's an enjoyable book. Otherwise, it's pretty light on emotional depth, characters, and plot payoff.
