Cillian's Most Popular Reviews
Undoubtedly a good, classic work of science fiction. Would be great if the single female character wasn't a complete bitchy caricature treated with contempt. (I'm not exaggerating - on multiple occasions her husband threatens to cut out her tongue)
Like all good gothic stories, sometimes the mysteries are a little more exciting than the answers. Great book though.
Unlike her last book, this isn't just a collection of funny anecdotes (although there are many). A fair amount of her stories and musings are centered on her struggles with depression, and her fight to learn to like herself and find some meaning in life when everything hits the fan. Depending on your own relationship with depression, this book might not hit you quite as hard.
This book came for my neck. “When I viewed getting my life together as a way for trying to atone for the sin of falling apart, I stayed stuck in a shame-fueled cycle of performance, perfectionism, and failure.”
