I love well-written books. I even love some poorly-written books.

Even though I struggled with the style of Where the Hell is Tesla, I‘m still a fan. I‘m into the third story in this collection and enjoying them. And I do love to hear his narration.

Maybe I‘m still not ready for more unreliable narrators yet. Still enjoyed the writing style and most of the characters but I disliked the final twist.

Time for one of the free Audible originals for December.

AmCheri If it had been longer, I would have bailed. I think I might be too old to appreciate a rage-filled 16 year-Old young woman with a large sense of entitlement. The snippets of culture that snuck in we‘re good though. 5y

Heavy on speculation and meaningless, random details and light on facts. And, oh man, the audiobook narration is pretty bad. The author speaks soooooo slllooooowly.

Read this many years ago and it was one of my faves. Now I‘m listening to the audiobook after my 14 year-old son told me he‘s reading it now. His second King book.

Loved it. Not preachy and not a romance. A dark, gritty eco-thriller with a kick-ass protagonist. Definitely Prescott‘s best book yet.

Going under untitled until the book is added to Litsy. Just over a quarter of the way through and enjoying it. Feels a bit like All That Matters, which I love, so I‘m a happy camper at the moment.

Bring Me Back | B A Paris

Was into it and enjoying until about chapter 56. Then it went downhill for me. The end ruined it. No spoilers but the technique is one of my least favorite ways for an author to wrap up a book.

I know I‘m in the minority but I hated this book. It was obviously well-researched but, after a while, it felt more like misery-porn. Yes, the treatment of inmates and the politics and cultural aspects involved were important but there were so many stories that were similar enough that the point had been made over and over and over. I finally stopped at about 80% after reading about a mutilated dog being operated on without anesthesia.

brittanyreads Oh god... I was going to read this but I don‘t think so. Poor dog 😭 thanks for the honest review. 6y
AmCheri Try Ten Days in a Mad-House by Nellie (Nelly?) Bly instead. I got a lot out of it. 6y

AmCheri DNF‘d. So slow and went on and on about details that added nothing to the story. After checking some reviews, I‘m glad I got out when I did since the dragging seems to go on for a good long while. 6y
