Almost Human: The Astonishing Tale of Homo Naledi and the Discovery That Changed Our Human Story
4.5 ⭐ loveddd it and the writing was so good but she chose the wrong man imo :(
I read this in a day, so yes it was entertaining. It had a kind of original plot and dual timeline with chapters that often ended on cliffhangers. Very easy to read!
The only problem I had was the writing. The author often used parenthesis to reveal things, like "I didn't know what that was (I later learned it was this)." And an overuse of dashes "I didn't know what they were doing here-or why they looked like that." And often used line breaks to emphasize a sentence, like "I looked at the picture *line break* and realized my big mistake." But I think this writing style is common in thrillers so it wasn't enough to make me hate it. This book was a good palette cleanse

I'm so mad... I actually enjoyed this book a lot, it was very entertaining and well-written, the characters were interesting, etc... But like 200 pages in when the big twist was revealed I was like there's no way this is the main twist and then it WAS. The main twist in the story is so boring and obvious from the first half. So I continued for the next 200 pages of the book thinking something else would happen and then it didn't. So I'm mad that besides that I really enjoyed it
