Very good read
Great thriller!
Just kind of meh compared to his other discworld books, imho.
Very interesting first hand look into the mechanisms for investigating and prosecuting domestic terrorism. A little self-indulgent/grandstandy at times, but he does a decent job tying his youth in LDS to the cult behavior around the 45th POTUS.
A very honest and candid memoir focused on Jason‘s struggles with his mental health, career, and family.
The prototypical detective noir story. Great fun. Funny to read it 100 years later and have the plot twist essentially be that the woman is a person with agency and not just an accessory to the men in the story.
“Be careful who you pretend to be”
A really great story. Remarkably readable like the rest of his work.
A fascinating expert analysis of the growing insurgency within The US.
I didn‘t enjoy it as much as I had hoped I would. Occasionally slow and plodding.
Well laid out arguments for the historical record
Empathetic and illuminating
A short fun tale in the Discworld. A spoof of Faust.
So so informative, but written in a way that is easy to follow and compelling. Really deepened my understanding of modern US domestic policy.
I love good science fiction. I love American history. I love a smart romance. And as a proud son of Massachusetts, I love the Kennedy‘s and care about them. This book had me gripped from beginning to end. The pages truly turned themselves.
Absolutely incredible from start to finish. Brooks writes this fictional oral history in a way that makes it all feel so real. WOW.
My first Agatha Christie! A great, fast paced, classic mystery novel.
A little anti-climactic as a narrative, but a wonderful spooky vibe.
Tremendous. You already know.
A non-canon prequel to the classic neverland tale. Good not great.
Honestly somewhat bland as far as Holmes stories go. I kept thinking, when will the intrigue come in... and then it ended.
Pratchett‘s first Discworld book. Nice world building but very manic and hard to follow at times.
Very fun flowery language. So self aware, warts and all.
Very atmospheric. A perfect introduction into the world of cosmic horror as its own sub genre.
Surprisingly readable for a 140 year old book. The character of Sherlock Holmes is timelessly intriguing. I love that Sir Doyle wrote in the journaled perspective of Dr. Watson. The start of Part 2 felt a little slow and plodding at times, but I don‘t think I would change it.
Definitely not his best, but definitely his best known. Still very enjoyable.
Incredibly creepy atmospheric piece. Almost like the works of Stephen King, Lovecraft throws a lot of exposition at you until all of a sudden things go wrong.
A fun and light fantasy romp through the Disney World Parks. Great for anyone familiar with the Florida parks. Some of the material definitely feels 15 years old. Some needlessly problematic sections as well. But overall, a fun read after recently visiting the parks.
Pratchett‘s fantasy world is such a brilliant commentary on our own. So full and rich and easy to get lost in. I‘ve never before come across a piece of fiction which has made me laugh this much or this often.
