I never thought I'd read a Bangla book with this much interest. Great recommendation by Rihal.
Got the book as a gift. It was an okay read and I learnt some stuff about human nature and psychology.
I would easily rate the book 4.75 or even 5 if only Violet didn't complain all the fucking time and if the book wasn't as slow. I feel bad for Xaden, the guy never gets a break. I was under the impression that the story was going to end in this book but seems like it's planned to be a 5 book long series, which seems excessive. I would understand another book maybe, but how does Yarros plan on continuing the story for another 3 books? I have no idea so I guess I can only wait and see. Fourth Wing became one my most favorite books as soon as I read it but this book felt very lacking and Violet was a crybaby throught the whole thing. Hoping it'll get better in the next books.
I liked the book and its idea, but I didn't like the execution. It felt pretty slow at times and there were a lot of useless dialogue. The main character was really annoying. I also didn't like how to main character was able to think so much about what he should do before doing anything, but was also dense af at times for no reason. Anyways, I didn't like him. Yano though, I thought she was nice. Though, I will admit, she turned out to be way more thoughtful about things than I first expected. Oh, there were a few unanswered questions why I just don't understand why those questions were brought up in the first place if they were never going to be answered. Overall, it was an okay read. I didn't dislike it, but I also didn't have a lot of fun reading it. But I was able to kind of binge it which says that I did enjoy reading at least a little bit more than just “okay”. It was my first time reading a Japanese novel/light novel type book too so that's that. Anyways, I rate it a ratin 3.5/5 stars.
This was my first time reading a poem collection and I didn't like it at all. Probably should've started with the poems of a better more known author like Sylvia Path.
I'm kinda getting tired of hearing about Dumbeldore being the best, when he hasn't done a single thing so far. His Phoenix (my favorite mythological creature) has already done more than he has. At first I did think that Slytherin's heir might be Voldemort, but in the back of my mind I was also thinking, “I get a feeling it might be Percy... But maybe that's too boring so maybe there'll be a twist and Ginny might be the one.” After chapter 15 I was convinced it was Percy so I was genuinely surprised to know that it was actually Tom Riddle, and the fact that he was Voldemort's 16 year old self.Overall I liked the book a lot. I do think the second half was way better than the first half, as things started moving faster. I don't think it was as good as the first book but it's still a solid 4.5/5 for me.
I really liked it. Everyone told me it's good and I had high expectations going into it, and I wasn't disappointed. I wanted to end the Dursley's though. The pacing was very good, I like when stories aren't too slow. I don't really know what to say, about it except the fact that I liked the book. Hermione was a little irritating at first, but I learnt to like her pretty quickly. I like Ron's bluntness. Snape sucks, I don't care if he tried to save Harry or not, he still sucks. I will say, the end did feel a little underwhelming, but I'm not particularly bothered by it. And lastly, if there's anything I want from the book, it's the cloak of invisibility.
4.5/5 stars! it was a good read.
A cozy read but I found it to be a bit slow and dull at times. Also, I had quite a hard time remember all the character named and how they were all connected.
I didn't like Celia, at all. I liked two of the husbands: Harry and Rex North. I liked Evelyn at first, I like her considerably less having finished reading. Odd choice but I actually liked Louisa. I didn't like stuff near the ending. It's was great until it was okay.
Unlike the first graphic novel by Debbie Tung, I quite liked this one! I could genuinely relate with a lot of it and it made me laugh a few times too. It's a nice and cozy read for bookworms, or book lovers.
I've already said much in the previous two “thoughts” on the previous two books. I love it. It felt like she was expression a lot more of her own experiences in this one compared to the previous books, which was fun to read. One thing that annoys me about her comics is that it makes me laugh and smile a bit to much... I'm not used to it... I feel super depressed after I finish reading them...
I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I was going to, the expression on the characters never really changed, but it was still a decent read nevertheless.
I loved the first book, and I love this one as well. And just as before, I find her so relatabe! It's gonna feel so nostalgic to read this book again in a few years. I think the first book made me laugh a lot (a bit too much in fact) but this is better in it's own ways. This second book is structured more like short stories, whereas the first book was more like random stuff happening around her, with her, or her own experiences with things. I don't mind any of them. And honestly, I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite even if I tried to.
I enjoyed my time reading this through and through and I'm excited to read the third one.
I've never read any other comics like this. Especially, something this relatable. (Well, not that I've read many books in the frist place.)
As a fellow introvert (high-five if you're in the same league) and still in high-school, this comic hits very close to home. No liking people for no reason, not watching to talk, social awkwardness, lazing all day long, overthinking—all of these are potrayed in a way that I can relate to so much. Also as an artist (or rather, just another person who draws a lot), I can confirm that the art related skits in this books are very accurate.I've never written a “My thougts” kind of thing ever before so I'm pretty sure this sucks but it'll be a nice thing to look back on. Anyways, I absolutely loved the book, and I'm definitely gonna read the other three.
Loved it! It took some time before things started happening but I loved the relationship between the characters and it was quite wholesome and cozy.
Both characters were dumb af but I kinda enjoyed reading it nevertheless. Fangirl was way better.
Too much sex talk, lots of useless details, many things make no sense. The start and ending are kinda the only interesting parts.
I liked it. It was a bit annoying at times but nothing I can't handle. I wasn't expecting anything significantly great going into it, it did it's job and gave me the fun I was looking for. It was pretty obvious that Toby was going to be alive, a lot of the things in this book was obvious, but I still look forward to the next book. It was a fast read and something I kinda needed (after reading something like The Secret History). I also didn't particularly like any of the characters, except Alexander and Nash. I hate/dislike a lot of them tho, Libby being one of them. Anyways, I went into this book looking for fun and I got fun and it even got me excited at times. Overall, I think was a good 6.5/10
I loved this reading this novel. I loved the children (especially Lucy and Thalia). This was a very wholesome and quite funny read. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is ‘cause I found the start to be a little slow and tedious to read. I liked how much Linus changed by the end. And lastly, fuck you Merle.
Good overall. I actually couldn't relate to most of the things in this book even as someone who self harms, but Charlie's story is one that's much different from mine so that's to be expected I guess.
Chapter 1 - 5The start feels like it's much more convoluted and serious compared to the previous 2 books. I'm happy that Harry turned her aunt into a human baloon. The Azkaban guards seem like pieces of shit. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor seems nice so far. Idk if I should be happy about the fact that Hagrid is now a teacher for the Care of Magical Creatures subject, or feel bad for the students as I expect them to go through some traumatic experiences in that class. And lastly, Hermione needs to freaking chill bro, he schedule is not something a human should be able to keep up with. Chapter 6That surprised me so much when Hagrid started shouting at the end of the chapter. But then I felt bad when he said, “I'm not worth that.” Also I wish the creature had just bitten Malofy's head off. Ch 7-9I fucking hate Snape. He's gone way too far this time. I was liking Lupin so much and of course that bitch just had to ruin it. (Lupin is also just such a good name.) And why's everything again Harry suddenly? He lost Quidditch, no professor Lupin anymore, lost in Quidditch, broken broomstick, Dementors after him, Malofy causing problems in Hagrid's and other classes etc. I feel bad for Harry bro I hate Hermionie for telling Professor McGonagall about Harry's broomstick; idc what her intentions were or the fact that Harry got it back eventually, she took it too far. (chapter 11-12 I think?)User 1: but i mean...if the broom was actually jinxed, harry could have fallen down and died User 2: it's true. also imagine if they were right about sirius, I mean there was no evidence Peter Pettigrew was alive (End of book spoilers) Me: Ok, maybe we can ignore that but what about her not caring what her shitty cat does to others pets at all? Ron said something about her never admitting she's wrong and I totally agree with him. Her biggest problem is that she refuses to admit her faults and apologize, and on top of that she still acts high and mighty even though others might be getting hurt emotional. In my opinion, whether she did something for some else's good doesn't matter, she should still apologize for a lot of things she's done so far in this book. Also, Fred and George needs to learn some manners cuz making fun of someone's pet possibly dying isn't something to joke about; at the very least not in front of that person. That must've hurt Ron even more
Final thoughts:What I'm more sad about than anything else is Lupin leaving Hogwarts, I like Lupin so much... I want to apologize to Crookshanks for disliking him so much. Hermione's great now. It felt like Dumbeldore actually did a few things this time. I really wish Harry got to live with Sirius Black instead, but I'll be lying if I said I'm not somewhat excited to know how Harry's stay at the Dursleys will be like this time after what he told them about his godfather being a murderer, lol; I love Harry beyond reason. All n' all, this book was great. in fact I think I liked it more than the first two in many ways. But, as always, the best part of it all was, once again, Quidditch for me. I don't know why I get so excited, my heart rate increases and I start feeling an adrenaline rush, even though all I'm doing is reading or observing if you will. 4.5 outta 5 from me. I loved it.Oh yeah, I forgot to tell; a number of my predictions turned out to be correct. I can't remember all of them off the top of my head but some of them include: Sirius eventually turning out to be innocent (I didn't know how I'd have happed tho), Lupin turning out to have some kind of a connection with Sirius, also about Lupin resigning... I thought it'd happen but that was something I wished turned out to be wrong.... anyways, there were more I think but this is all I can recall at the moment
