I didn't know what to expect when I picked this up, since I hadn't heard of Neil Strauss before. I assumed some useful food for thought was tucked behind the great cover design. However, this was off to a slow start. The idea of discarding the book b ...more

A ridiculous pulp novel with some noir vibes here and there. Certainly not Crichton's best, and doesn't really count as literature, but it's not so bad. Fine for spending 2-3 hours waiting to board an airplane. I'm surprised this was never made into ...more

A lot of people have called this a life-changing book with a profound impact on their life. As one might suspect, it's difficult for any book to live up to such hype. Especially when this isn't novel-length to begin with. My copy claimed to be 128 pa ...more

Despite the small scope, there are plenty of imaginative elements in this fairy tale, and it's worth a read. I think I would recommend the audiobook over the physical/digital book. The writing isn't as colorful as I expected, partly because of the fi ...more

This is a brisk read - only about 200 pages. If you're a fast reader, you can get through High-Rise in one or two days even without much free time. That doesn't necessarily make it an easy read, however. As a commentary on human nature there's unplea ...more

This seems to be a polarizing book for some readers, and I can see why. Pros: - Good writing. The prose flows nicely and it's been well-edited. Some people find it tedious, other people find it beautiful, and it's objectively well-executed. - No obviou ...more

This was my first experience with the "litRPG" subgenre so I didn't know what to expect. The book is not art, but it's compelling. The worldbuilding is one of the stronger points. Sufficiently Advanced Magic isn't a 5-star story, but it kept me inter ...more

Not as much of a space opera as I expected, but this is still a good book. It has an interesting story with decent pacing and realistic enough characters. Leviathan Wakes is a good slab of genre fiction, and at nearly 600 pages, it's certainly worth ...more

“There was a moment when I changed from an amateur to a professional. I assumed the burden of a profession, which is to write even when you don't want to, don't much like what you're writing, and aren't writing particularly well.”
― Agatha Christie, Agatha Christie: An Autobiography
