This book was so weird. I feel like I just didn't get it. I'll have to give it another try some day.

Leveen does a great job of building his characters and giving them unique voices. It just felt too predictable, too stereotypical. But maybe that's just because gun violence is so ubiquitous these days.

Both a locked-room mystery and a scathing commentary on our culture of high school violence, McManus really knows how to throw a punch. I loved the way you got to know each of the characters and see their relationships and backstories evolve.

I thought this would be a fun little old-fashioned read, but it's just a boring reprint of an old letter writing guide.

Despite the introduction by the translator which helpfully pointed out that in 1516 when this was written the world was much worse for everyone than we could imagine, I can't help but be thoroughly disgusted by how pious and sexist this book is.

Supremely dull tale of a Dutch couple who harbors a Jewish man during WWII until he dies of an ordinary illness. The story weaves back and forth from his death to the events leading up to it, but there is a complete lack of tension or character development.

A horrifying look at international politics reminiscent of Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Browder masterfully blends his own life and humanity into the story of his business success and eventual transition to human rights activist. Highly recommend for today's political climate.
