emotional hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

I like how the author also included his flaws and insecurities while writing this book.
It's very easy to read for non-native English speakers like me.
Great read as introduction to stoicism, I guess.

I read Howl's Moving Castle before this, so I noticed a similarity in the plot.
At first I thought Cat is actually a...cat.
I have to find out if they have similar universe to Howl's Moving Castle.
Looking forward to read the sequels.
funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

I couldn't get enough of the first book!
Some stories are so absurd and I can't believe they happened--and that is why they're in this book.
Will read more books by the same author.

Highly entertaining and worth recommending to bookworms and librarians alike.

I watched its trailer even before The Hunger Games came out.
It's been in my TBR list for almost a decade.
Imagine my disappointment when the plot in the book is different from the trailer. (or did I forget something?)

Is it just me?
Maybe I have enough of The Hunger Games, maybe I wasn't hit by the punchline or maybe because I'm ESL?
*checks other reviews*
*saw other 1/5 rating*
There are some gross parts that I wish I never read.

I'm still willing to give other books a try.
Will read Bored of the Rings next time.
I haven't read The Lord of the Rings, so I won't be expecting anything in the plot.
