Thoroughly enjoyable

Revisado: 07-07-23

It’s an oddly uplifting book for a multiple murder mystery. The wry humor and strong characterizations elevate the story.

Highly interesting snippet of history

Revisado: 11-12-18

This is a nice quick read that sheds some light on a rather interesting historical event and on the injustice of the British Legal system during Doyle's era.

If you like Neil Gaiman you'll like this

Revisado: 11-11-18

Coraline contains all the humor and magic that you come to expect from Neil Gaiman's work. It's a compact fun story. It is also different enough from the film that those who saw the movie first will enjoy the novel as well.

Interesting view of Arthur Conan Doyle

Revisado: 11-11-18

The story might not be the most moving, but this book is worth a read simply because it sheds a light on one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's peculiarities: his obsession with mysticism. This book helps you get into his frame of mind and understand what he was thinking as he rejected materialism and his trademark rationality.

Great POW Novel

Revisado: 11-11-18

King Rat makes for a rather interesting read. It delves into life in Changi prison and how people act when faced with unspeakable conditions. The characters are sympathetic and well-fleshed out.

Excellent combination of tragic and comic.

Revisado: 11-11-18

This is an excellent book. The characters come across as very real, and the tone always hits the right levels of tragic and comedic. At times it may come across as a bit of a soap opera, but if it does so, it is one of the good ones.

Absolutely fantastic absurdist horror comedy

Revisado: 03-28-15

Would you listen to John Dies at the End again? Why?

David Wong is an exceptional writer. He injects humor throughout the book and keeps the plot moving in wonderful and unexpected ways. For those who saw the movie, the book is considerably better (and I enjoyed the movie). The book adds considerable emotional depth to the characters and does such a great and serious job describing a violent event from high school that it almost seems out of place in this version of Clerks vs. Cthulu. The book has layers to it. It's got a wonderful juvenile sense of humor, but it also tackles some oddly serious subjects. Furthermore, it does a phenomenally subtle job of changing the past events of the book in accordance with the rules of the book's universe. Extremely well done.

Who was your favorite character and why?

John Cheese perfectly represents that one friend we all have from high school. That guy.

Excellent beginner's guide to Econ

Revisado: 03-06-15

This is the perfect book for people learning to understand basic economic concepts- similar to the Undercover Economist. I would highly recommend this book.
