Audio doesn't do justice to the the mystery and awe in this text.

Kinda enjoyed the movie version better but the MC is much more vain and self-absorbed than Clooney ever seemed (which says more about his acting, I guess) so it's harder to relate to him in the book.

Everyone made it seem like this was going to be truly weird and out there. All I got was half of Fleischman Is In Trouble. Did you know being a woman sucks?

An okay memoir that doesn't really say much. She needed a better ghost writer or whatever because it gets repetitive, the story is not outlined well, and the constant privileges checks get so annoying. Just write your story and don't stop every five sentences to annotate or paren what people might be thinking as they read! It kept the story from feeling deeper. Also I guess Sue Rider is getting a portion of the money from this. With how much the charity is mentioned throughout this it felt like an ad or sponsorship, if that is poss.

Cute little Cliff Notes for all of your high school career. I wonder if there's an updated version that could be useful for future generations as a tome to have on hand when needing to look up concrete things instead of just googling always.

So terrible the way this show went downhill so quickly. It deserved a 8-9 season run. Everything was there, but the writing just didn't keep up to what could have been. That first season was like lightning in a bottle and this journal is a testament to how exciting it all felt back then.

Sometimes a book on TSG seems.... unpopular or uncared for and it's curious to find out if it's terrible or a diamond in the rough.

This is neither?

This seems like a new agey sort of The Emotional Code companion, slash beginner magic for non-witches or closeted witches. I am past this part of beginner magic/practical thinking phase. I listened to the Beginning the Little Work section after the first section turned into a list of correspondences for each of the cardinal directions that every other beginner magic book has listed before, and then figured nothing else would be of use to me.
