Could not finish the audiobook version

Revisado: 02-19-25

A very slow novel with very little by way of plot development for an awfully long time. I managed to get through 24 chapters before giving up. Unfortunately, the author is not a good narrator, and I found her very bad Scottish accents and general delivery very distracting.

The book that hooked me on Irving

Revisado: 01-17-25

Really enjoyed going back to this book almost 30 years after I first read it. Irving‘s mastery of the slow build up of a story and a character pay off so powerfully in this story with a huge emotional ending.

Sadly, you are left wondering how he lived as long as he did…

Revisado: 03-16-24

I read this book before Matt Perry died, and it really is a sad and gripping tale. What is notable is that the highlight of his life as a member of the cast of friends almost seems to have passed him by. He spends very little time in the book Describing that time as joyful. What a sad loss. Definitely recommend the book although it does get a little bit repetitive at times.

A book for of Jerry Seinfeld’s material, good and bad

Revisado: 03-16-24

If you are a huge Jerry Seinfeld fan, then you will probably love this book however, there is not much more to it than Geri reading through years and years of material, some of it mildly amusing some of it not so much. Probably better to watch episodes of Seinfeld, or see him liveon the stage.

Pretty good version of the “life sucks when you are poor “trope

Revisado: 03-16-24

If you liked Educated by Tara Westover, then you were very likely enjoy demon copperhead. This is another engaging story of poverty and inequity in small town America. The main character, Demon, gets under your skin in a good way. Very enjoyable.

Mostly Aimless. Russian life is hard. Okay.

Revisado: 03-16-24

What a frustrating read. Initially, the book is confusing for its lack of storyline, then you realize there is no storyline, just a collection of disconnected mini stories about Russian life. It doesn’t add up to much.

A Pretty good book, shame its legacy is such a bad film trilogy.

Revisado: 01-04-24

I do really like this book and I don’t know why it gets so much hate. However this trilogy of novels is tainted by the absolutely atrocious movies that it serves as a prequel to. I like the characters, especially Sinjir and Mr Bones. I wish that it got the love it deserves, but I can see why people don’t want to give it any attention.

A classic for a reason

Revisado: 01-08-23

This is one of my favorite books of all time, I love its take on the dinosaurs. However I feel that the Dinosaurs have been on the Plato for so long that they should have evolved. Simpler to the 2005 King Kong. I also am not sure about describing the Allosaurus as “horrible toads” other than that it’s perfect
