Maybe I've read too many marital thrillers with creepy/abusive husbands, but this one definitely felt formulaic and like I'd read the exact same thing before. The payoff at the end was pretty weak. Kind of a snooze.

I didn't want to like this SUPER overhyped novel. Another book about privileged, dysfunctional New Yorkers with first-world problems, YAWN. But then it was funny and mocked its characters' pretensions. Still too many hugs and lessons learned and neat endings, but exceeded my expectations.

A fun, surprisingly not-dull exploration of the ways that shipping and transit connect us all worldwide. For anyone who has ever ordered two-day shipping and then shaken their fists at the big rigs on the road!

Too many narrators make the short chapters choppy and confusing, but a valiant attempt to make the abductor into the anti-hero.

A run-of-the-mill child abduction thriller with a pretty implausible villain... or maybe I've just been reading too many of these lately?

I loved THE EMPEROR OF ALL MALADIES, and THE GENE is just as good so far! The history of genetics told in a way that even English majors can understand. 😂

Like THE BURIED GIANT meets CLOUD ATLAS, if that makes any sense. At the end of the world, everything happens again and again for a reason. I love it!
