If you love a mystery that drops clues in a way that leads you to possibly solve the puzzle along with the main character, this is not your book. However, the story keeps you interested through many twists and turns.

This book was so inspirational! In this true story, it‘s unfathomable to wrap your mind around his experience, but you do it anyways. You feel the lows but then you feel his highs over the tiniest successes. I reflect on this journey often, to center myself.
I really wanted to like this series but there was no depth to the characters. What should I expect from teenagers who are constantly confused about EVERYTHING?! I just had higher hopes for a series that teased a puzzle to be solved but there was no cryptic mystery for me. It‘s a series written for teenagers about teenagers and it sounds like you‘re in the head of a teenage writer. Maybe that was the author‘s intent. For me, it‘s a dud.
Welcome to my friend, tza17! She‘s new to Litsy and I think she‘ll love it here!
I was on a long spurt, reading books by female comedians and Mindy didn‘t disappoint me. She‘s a great mix between intelligent/witty and Kardashian/gossipy.

Not for anyone who can‘t take a dirty sense of humor with a side of vulgarity. If you‘re fine with all that, you‘ll love this book! There are also some heartwarming parts.
I love Stephen King! I can dive right into most of his books a slurp up the world he creates. This book was no different. The lead up to the main plot was long but dotted with seeds that grew into main characters, as he often does. This takes wraps up smartly and satisfyingly.
A look at how easy someone can find themselves sucked in. That part is predictable but the look back is insightful and makes you think.
I never read this classic until recently. It was just like a good ole Twilight Zone episode! Society falling because of dumb decisions that had the best intentions.
Having come from a West Virginian- influenced factory town, this book really hit home. It helped me to understand how those towns stood and fell, but didn‘t die.
Our parents affect us in so many ways and this book illustrates this. It was a hard, long, inside look at how one decision snowballed into so many affects.
This one was a beast to follow, but it was worth the work. I would‘ve liked spending a bit more time and depth in each generation, but I see how it was not possible since there was already so much crammed into this book, in a great way! If you don‘t have a version with the family tree, draw it out as it grows or pull up the wiki page (be careful of spoilers). This book gave me a greater understanding of our current society.
If you‘re loving the current women‘s movement, you might like this! It was far-fetched, but empowering and inspirational. I liked being able to see the tracks different areas of the world took.
I found it to be an artistic view on the complexities of the universe. After growing up with Star Trek TNG, it was very different, but I loved it!
I read this at a time when a sweet, heartwarming story was needed. It definitely fit the bill.
I liked this second look into these characters lives. While it touched on the issues I expected, the outcome took me by surprise.
I think there are only grains of truth and flagrant opinion in this book. I appreciated the context it gave to the nonsensical, early speeches. The context didn‘t make me feel any better, but it was to know what instigated the insanity. It was also nice to have a blunt introduction to all the personalities in The White House and some insight into the relationships and motivations.
I had a hard time getting into this and as soon as I did, it all fell apart. I guess that‘s what hooks you into a I‘ve story! The ending was perfect!
It was a bit outlandish and there were too many storylines that I wanted to fold together more neatly. I didn‘t hate it, but I‘d only recommend to those who love post-apocalyptic stories (even though that‘s not exactly what this was).
This was a story I imagined happening many times and it was cathartic to read.
I had SO many issues with the details of the virus that were hard to get past. The main plot was weak and forced.
If you LOVED Serial, season 1, this is a great supplement focusing on Adnan‘s innocence. The facts are well-presented and concise, though it is a complicated case.
I‘m always entertained by memoirs of female comedians, but she pushed “girl power under male-driven pressure” to the limit, even for me.
The farther I went into this book, the harder it was to decide who to root for.
I‘d like to think that animal societies are so complex!
I found this story beyond inspiring!
I was skeptical in the beginning but was pleasantly surprised at how it all wraps up.
I wish I could visit this dream world. I‘d like to play in the cloud tent. 💜💕❤️
I love the history she rolled into her memoir. I wish kids in US schools were taught to analyze issues and debate them as she was.
