438 pages in two days is all I need to say about this dangerously beautiful story.

Also, Moses enjoyed it.

I read this novella in one sitting. It was certainly suspenseful, and I enjoyed reading it. HOWEVER. The ending was a quick wrap up, as if the two authors didn't feel like writing anymore. I had hoped for more.

This book was totally out of my usual genre comfort zone, but it was so worth it. The perspective, the timeline, and the narration all come together to make a powerful statement on PTSD and the experiences of a veteran. I laughed, I got chills and I cried. I'm so satisfied having read this book.

I've never read a more relatable book, and I also believe I've never read a book with such great timing in my life. I will be forever in debt to the things Harper Lee taught me.

I feel like I'll be using this book forever. I learned so much through the reading, and the exercises. This is a book I will never give up.

Ehrman tries really hard not to be biased against Christianity. He definitely doesn't buy it, though. And it's obvious in his writing. I'm not asking him to write a Christian perspective, but whoa. Calm down.

The research was thorough, the layout and concepts were insightful, but there were so many unnecessary complexities in the language of the writing that I found myself frustrated. I wished Cooper would help me to understand what she was saying, because when I finally grasped it, I loved it.

This is brilliant. Stevens is the most relatable character in 19th century British Literature. This novel had me laughing and crying and wishing I wasn't so similar to the protagonist. Ishiguro is one of a kind.

Woolf's highly experimental work hides behind what would be seen as a mundane "day in the life" work. The honesty and realism is funny and also surprising in a we-are-all-like-this kind of way. If you're expecting a plot structure, don't read this. It will only stress you out.

This is how we learn history.

Long Soldier objectifies grammar to allow the reader to understand the things they never knew before.

Still wiping the tears from my eyes. This is poetry and science and pain and womanhood and I am in love.

Can't say how blessed I am to learn the craft of writing from this poet.

Everything from the title, to the diction, to the brutal honesties in this collection are written masterfully. I felt hopeful and convicted at once when I set this work down.

I'm still breathless over this. I felt everything a person could feel, even things I'd never felt. This is a collection for everyone.

This chapbook was cold and sterile. It was a fresh take on mental illness, and it reached a variety of topics while following the same characters and concepts. Really, it was so beautiful. I ache for every speaker here.

Wow. If anything, this collection reminds me that the speaker and the poet can be two totally separate beings. I'm using this collection to finally write about the experiences that don't belong to me, and it is so refreshing.

This collection was raw and beautiful and dirty and everything that it needed to be.

Sorry for the lit-vomit! I was horribly busy during the semester and am just now getting around to posting all the things I've read.

This book felt like Lord Jim and The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Maybe I'm not a fan of modernist work after all, or maybe it's the time period. I wouldn't say you'd regret skipping this book unless you love the time period and the writing style.

I would suggest reading this if you're into Modernist writing. It's certainly not my favorite book, but it had a lot of good moments. I'm satisfied having read it; perhaps I'm satisfied saying that I've read it.

I struggled to connect with the characters, but a lot of my peers didn't. Maybe it's a me thing. I'd suggest reading if you're a lit. major for sure. I could at least learn from the writing style.

This book was really so extra. I laughed the whole way through it, and I don't think I'll ever forget it. I really appreciate the professor who assigned this novel to us, because it was so Wilde. 😏

This is a profound coming-of-age novel that disguises itself as a dystopic fiction. In her self-proclaimed autobiography, Lessing allows the reader to dig into the literal walls of her conscious to witness the painful beauty of adolescence. I loved this book enough to review it in 15 pages for a class; I would recommend it to anyone.

Yes. Yes. A million times yes. I know why this book won the James Laughlin Award.

It's a classic, I get what it does for future literature (especially The Great Gatsby) but it's honestly just so overrated.

Compassion for those unlike us: this is why we read. To educate.

In this work, Amy Meng asks the question, "Why do emotionally intelligent women stay in unhealthy relationships?"

I have no words to compare to these.

EJ Koh fills our minds with breathtaking imagery and a better understanding for those who are, as Koh says, not 50% American and 50% South Korean, but 100% and 100%.

Beautifully written with curious allusions between a speaker named Mary who is likely not a believer, and the theology of Mary, mother of Jesus. So many different forms keep this collection fresh and new.

I must have underlined half this book. What haunting imagery, and desperate metaphors.

I'm not done crying yet. This piece is beautiful, completely realistic, and so authentic it's irritating because I wish I had written this story.
