While topics are important, there are too many characters and details. It is a really good history lesson, but I keep tuning out. I expected something different.
Graphic: Racism
Moderate: Slavery
I could not get into the writing style of Devils Kill Devils. A lot words with not much happening. And also it gets kinda religious. Just not for me.
The Glass Castle has lot of wild stories (some I find hard to believe) and irresponsible parenting. I don’t know who Jeannette Walls is and found myself not vested in her story. So at about 52-ish % I decided to not continue this book.
Graphic: Child abuse
I did not finish No Longer Human because I lost interest. All the psychological analyzations and questioning about humanity was annoying. Other than that Yozo is just going around sleeping with a lot of women, drinking, causing trouble for other people, and seeing ghosts. I didn't care to continue another 300 pages of the same self destructive behavior. However, the art work was good. Very creepy images and lovely naked ladies. Glad I did not read the original.
Graphic: Sexual assault, Sexual content
I didn’t like the metaphoric and roundabout prose and there are too many characters. The cover is cool though
Firstly, I received Witch King as a #netgalleyARC. I thought there were too many characters, complicated names of things, and places that I couldn't keep up. Also there were names of things not explained and despite the legend in the front of the books I was still confused. I was not vested enough in the book to continue. Cool magical system of reading minds, witches and demons.
Temper was not for me and I did not finish (got to page 80). Too many immature characters and abstract concepts, rich/poor people talking mess to each other, ghosts/hearing things, just too much going on. Not what I thought it was and wasn’t invested in Auder’s plight of proximity. Interesting concept of the lesser and higher twin though.
