I have already seen the documentary on this subject hence this was very repeatative for me.
I have read this number of times. Re-reading it again! And you cannot not finish in one sitting.
One of the best books I have ever read! Excellent Writing, Stunning Illustrations.
Once you read this “Nothing's going to be the same... ...not ever again.”
You will understand Batman's story is not about Batman, who is the hero? who is the villain?
Alan Moore redefined Superhero with Watchmen, he redefined Supervillian with this one!
This is an excellent start for anyone considering starting to implement OKRs.
Most sane literature I have read on OKRs with excellent case studies.
Excellent book for math lovers and even otherwise. Lots of interesting stories around Math errors in real life.
It's a short read. Though it's a depressing story the storytelling is great and that keeps you engaged. It hits you in the final chapter.
Each and every book in this series has been a joy to read and this one is no different. This one you cannot put down, it is the weird and unique story of Catherine Lundy! We met her in earlier books. This one shows the conflict in Lundy's mind about our ordinary world and one which is always fair. The give and take between Lundy and Moon were beautiful. I hope there is a book about Moon later in the series.
The concept of Fair Value is what I loved the most in this tale. I so wish to visit the Goblin Market once :) in my fairy dreams at least. “What's the Goblin Market?” you ask?
“It is a place where dreamers go when they don't fit in with the dreams their homes think worth dreaming. Doors lead here. Perhaps you found one.”
I am listening to audiobooks and they are fantastically narrated by the author.
This is no short of a thriller. Disturbing how CEO played “woman in tech” card to get away with such a big fraud. I am surprised to see she is still not behind the bar, rather founding another company!
As someone already said truly its a Pixar movie of a Math book! Amazing book, loved it to the core! Highly recommended!
I finished this in 2 sitting. Audiobook version of this is amazing. Highly recommended. Although it's a predictable story the way it's being told is great
Everyone needs a Granny Weatherwax in their life!
Witty, wonderful, and love the new audiobooks from Penguin. Highly recommended to listen to audio version.
“Everyone has a thousand wishes before a tragedy, but just one afterward.”
“Never trust people who don't have something in their lives that they love beyond all reason.”
I liked this more than “Man called Ove”. Loved the depth of the characters and the insights into different people's and community's behavior. Backman's writing ultimately draws you in. I could feel what each character was going through and was heavily invested in them. You can feel the pain every character undergoes, you can see every tree, every road, and every scar on everyone.
This book is dark and emotionally compelling. Being a parent, this book hit me harder in multiple places.
“Being a parent makes you feel like a blanket that's always too small. No matter how hard you try to cover everyone, there's always someone who's freezing.”
Short and sweet. A typical classic Japanese novel with an emotional tale.
Talks about taboos around illnesses, and friendships beyond expectations.
Loved it!
Jack and Jill went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down and broke their crown.
And Jill came tumbling after.
This should have been the first book in the series. What a fantastic character sketch written by Seanan McGuire. I really enjoyed this book and now I am excited for the remaining books in the series.
This book discusses gender issues, raising children, etc., and gets much deeper into various relationships.
This, you see, is the true danger of children: they are ambushes, each and every one of them. A person may look at someone else's child and see only the surface, the shiny shoes or the perfect curls. They do not see the tears and the tantrums, the late nights, the sleepless hours, the worry. They do not even see the love, not really. It can be easy, when looking at children from the outside, to believe that they are things, dolls designed and programmed by their parents to behave in one manner, following one set of rules. It can be easy, when standing on the lofty shores of adulthood, not to remember that every adult was once a child, with ideas and ambitions of their own.
After a long time I've finished a book in one sitting. This is masterpiece and make me want to read more by Frederick Backman. There is a specific cadence in his writing that really hooks me in.
This book is about relationship, memories and letting go. Very few times any (non manga) book has kept me invested, involved and consistently emotional throughout the read. This definitely teared me up.
Must read.
This is very unique style of storytelling. This takes you through journey of 2 protagonists in different times. Very very well written indeed. I am listening to audiobook version of this and it's engaging and fun!

What an amazing end to the trilogy! A lot of unexpected twists and turns and how characters mature towards the end is amazing!
This book is truly a kick in the gut!
An important book to read. Is it Le Guin's angriest novel? Even if it is it is thought provoking.
Growing up fat had meant an endless succession of diets suggested by “helpful” relatives, and even more “helpful” suggestions from her classmates, ones that suggested starvation or learning to vomit on command.
This is my least favorite so far in the series though I loved some of the world descriptions in this.
Kudos to author for her effort on this book! Some great stories with clear message “through hard work and persistence, you can become the best version of yourself. “ This book ends up becoming a mere collection of great stories. There are not many methods described for increasing and maintaining our own grit.
This book essentially must be written to be heard. Audiobook is fantastically narrated with good sense of humour. I liked Scalzi's character building and highly recommend to try the audiobook, it's under 3 hours.
