Obviously well researched and an important history but I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrators' readings were overly dramatic and distracting. Would not recommend the audiobook.
started off very strong. some of the middle didn't feel as deeply connecting. Worthwhile read.
Accessible writing that is still interesting while getting to some honesty about grief. As the author touches upon, everyone's grief is their own, so I didn't expect to connect to all of it, but that's not what I was hoping for. If you are, you might be disappointed, but you'll have read a good book in the meantime. The book feels honest. Extra bonus points from me for making me miss New York.
A sparse tale of the future. Maybe too sparse. Take a man's story of grief about his wife and add a post- apocalyptic backdrop that doesn't have enough brushstrokes filled in to avoid making me wonder if I missed some scene-setting chapter, which ended up being distracting more than it was interesting. The turn of interesting character additions came too late for me. There's something here that makes me like it a little though.
Somewhat predictable but still a well-executed play on the trust placed in the narrator. Solid!
Pure fun and a great audiobook. Reading this was like when I got my hands on harry potter as a kid. A good adventure book made for adults.
A woman's mid-life evolution that made me anxiously question my own hard choices. No shying away – it takes the wound, puts a finger in to dig around just to pull the dirt out and look at the pieces. Horny, annoying, instrospective and ballsy.
