Book #25 of 2025: “poetry and pearls” by n.r. hart

I really liked this a decade ago but it no longer speaks to me.

#BookerLonglist #3

I really liked Szalay‘s other books but I can‘t make much of this one.
István doesn‘t live his life, it just happens to him. He doesn‘t make choices or decisions. He just says okay to everything that is decided for him. There‘s just one time he does takes action, and it changes the course of his life. Yet it doesn‘t have any real impact on him or on me as a reader. So. Not very impressed.

And can someone explain the title?

An absolutely amazing, well written book!!

I was recommended (told) that I MUST read the second book in this series immediately. That it was better than the first, and I'd regret having waited to get to it. That recommendation wasn't wrong. It was definitely not a waste of time. I'm hoping I can get to the third book very soon. #25-2025

February 2025 Book #7

Sorry, unpopular opinion here. I think this book was overhyped for me. That situation at the hotel was so unrealistic to me. Then, we have a character not only with suicidal ideation but also a plan to do it and it was ignored? I have read books with morbid humor like Hagman by Maya Binyam but from the beginning you see the absurd tone. I didn‘t see that in this novel. It was tragic so sad her situation but ignored⬇️

Would read this author again..pretty good

I‘ve finally made it to book #25 in the Jack Reacher series! The Sentinel marks the first book where Lee Child collaborates with his brother, Andrew Child, to take over the writing of the series. I thoroughly enjoyed Andrew Child‘s contribution to the series. Reacher remains the same character who finds himself entangled in familiar predicaments while assisting those in need.

An enchanting book about time travel and the consequences that could come. Every time I put the book down I couldn‘t stop thinking about June. This was so beautifully written and sure to be one of my tops books of the year. Book #25 in 2025
