At times this book feels largely like a collection of biography book reports and inspirational quotes, but I think the overall lessons contained are vital. Very easy to read, if a bit shallow.

I think this book does a lot better than Quidditch: Through The Ages at expanding the wider-wizarding world. I particularly liked The Tale of Three Brothers featured at the end of the book.

The third Quagmire Triplet. Sunny being held hostage. Winter. This book was a high point in the series thus far, and any time spent trying to unravel the mystery behind VFD, at this point, is absolute gold.

I'll be honest; I only read this one to get those reading challenge numbers up. I've been listening to a lot of Binge Mode: Harry Potter lately, and this was a good dip back into the wider wizarding world. I feel this book should have focused more on tactics.

There are some important principles contained in this book as it relates to responsive web design, but ultimately, a lot of what it taught were things I inherently understood anyway. As technology has evolved, this book has become slightly out of date.

As a coffee table book, it was definitely worth the $5 I spent on it a few years ago. I wish it focused more on album covers from the 1940s-1970s.

If every hotel has a holy bible, every studio should have this book. Creative, concrete, concise advice for the electronic music producer; a truly inspiring read, no matter their DAW of choice.

The best parts of this book are the understated philosophical metaphors, intentionally or not, sprinkled among its chapters. The Roots stuff was filler. I wish it had more about Dilla.

I mean, it's kinda in the title.

I mentally replaced the main character with Matt Damon halfway through the book, because the way she's written, Jazz doesn't actually feel like a real person. I wonder if Andy Weir has spent much time around actual women.

A perfect book, about a perfect team, who had a perfect season.

A bro would never recommend this book to his bros.

Seriously, why the fuck did I not only start reading this book, but finish it?

This was my first Tynion book and he's instantly become a must-read author in my book. I really liked that they made an ARG website as well! I just wish it had more content.

God of War is one of the greatest video games I've ever played. This book goes beyond just concept art, and provides a look into the entire creation process of the game.

It feels like Hickman is building towards something cool, but I thought the first volume was more interesting. Still really excited to see where this run goes!

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened” has never been more applicable. If anything deserves a big-budget TV adaptation, it's this series. Now if only I could find the Year 3 hardcover...
