Decent book.
Useful when you're looking for a specific python trick.
Not going to improve your Python skill level substantially.

Read it years ago and it is utter trash. Lowest common denominator - A book for people who don't read books.

Very good book - extremely entertaining.
Small spoilers:
Surprisingly, the whole Count Of Monte Cristo-esque makeover into a rich person only happens in the last 20-30 pages, so some might think the whole “lowly servant” segment drags too long.

Good book, but feels very biased and aggressive.

Art is 6 out of 5 (I love it)
Story is 3.5 out of 5 (not that memorable).

One of the best books I've read in years.
Great book, great plot, truly horrific scenes.
The only notable downsides to me were some uninteresting padding relating to Derry scenery and history and a certain infamous sex-related chapter.

Fun book. Last 50 pages are weird, but enjoyable overall.

Weird book, very hard to understand...only understood the plot by reading summaries after each chapter.
Plot is good, but the writing style is very difficult.
Hopefully a movie would some day translate it well.

Art 10/10. Story 2/10.

Great book, but the plot is nonsensical in the last third and the unabridged version is way too long.

Very good but too convoluted.

I enjoyed the book.
It's very fresh and aged well.
Only downside is the lack of a solid plot - it's mostly Rico's biography and some military skirmishes.

Terrific writing style, good story overall, just slightly predictable and fluffy.

Surprisingly good. Recommended for fans of Lovecraft Country.

Great art, but the story is sometimes hard to follow.

Awful book. One of the worst I've ever read. Painful to read at times.

Pros:
Unique concept (Got a star for that).
Action

Cons:
Terrible dialogue and characters that border on SJW parody.
Bronx character is nonstop cringe.

I found this book to be very stupid and annoying.
So many detailed description of every possible thing in every scene and yet still most of it is nonsensical.
The only good thing about this book is it predicting the concept of MMORPG.

This is a very good book and I'm writing this as someone who hated the movie.
The film is very boring in general and now even seems shallow compared to the book.
Point off only for the cringe worthy nonstop dialog about animals.

Good book ruined by the depressive and repetitive (same as Black Dahlia) “edgy” twist.

October 1, 2019

Unique perspective, story gets boring in the last 100 pages.
Mystery isn't that great.
