One of the first "reverse pov of a classic" books I ever read and still holds up. I never liked Beowulf anyways.

Certainly the most depth given to any of the plotlines in the games, but they could have fleshed out more of the non-game character backstories with all that space.

I don't remember what book gave me this recommendation, but I do like Bojack Horseman so I thought I'd give it a shot. Not really my type of thing anymore, definitely a 20 something's set of stories but some were good despite not being directed at me, and thus relatable. Not to say a book has to be relatable to be good but sometimes they're written just for a certain audience and that's ok. That certainly seems to be the focus here. For anyone else, it's a good collection but nothing too memorable after a week.

Much more an actual memoir about Kelly's life than a memoir about the Carlin household, yet Carlin does feature often since they come across as a very tight knit family. Very emotional and raw at times and absolutely refreshing next to other memoirs I have read.
