| MacLeod is a proficient prose writer, and there are a lot of intriguing elements of this novel. But the two narratives it follows felt disjoint to me and worked against some of the suspense, there were elements of the worldbuilding which confused me ...more | |

| Ness established himself as a master of plot reversals which place his young protagonists in apparently unendurable situations, and even the ending has bittersweet elements. I definitely can recommend the series, although there were elements of the b ...more | |

| Confusingly, although the title references Shakespeare, the storyline is loosely inspired by Austen's Persuasion. I had trouble getting into the novel at first ... the prose was rough, the characters seemed very cliched and what on Earth is a 'Muslim ...more | |

| Edelman's book takes the reader through the structure of the brain and how it gives rise to the mind, in particular his theories regarding how consciousness would have risen in response to evolutionary pressures. It's a fascinating approach and the b ...more | |

An immensely complex book, with a culture which fascinated even though I never quite believed it as a future human culture ... it could as well have been an alien planet or some sort of alternate history. The novel also mixed science fiction and fanta ...more |

| I don't often dip into the romance genre but this seemed like a different take. Admittedly the pair each individually have poor communication skills even by usual tropish standards, and it's often unclear through their courtship why they are attracte ...more | |
"I rolled my eyes a bit at the first two essays in this book, which read like overlong college admission essays. I went to a foreign country and had deep thoughts! I had a hard time in public school because I have ADHD! But, whatever.

“You get work however you get work, but people keep working in a freelance world (and more and more of todays world is freelance), because their work is good, because they are easy to get along with and because they deliver the work on time. And you don’t even need all three! Two out of three is fine. People will tolerate how unpleasant you are if your work is good and you deliver it on time. People will forgive the lateness of your work if it is good and they like you. And you don’t have to be as good as everyone else if you’re on time and it’s always a pleasure to hear from you.”
