Chazzle rated a book really liked it Rules of Civility by Amor Towles (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Without question, Amor Towles is a talented author. In this book, he talks about the life-changing decisions made by a fun-loving, intelligent young woman in late 1930s Manhattan. This makes for a good novel. On the other hand, I found the ...more

Chazzle rated a book it was ok The Secrets She Keeps by Michael Robotham (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Maybe it should really be a three-star rating, but the book never really captivated me. I have tried a number of books in the past few years where the narration switches from one character to another, and I always find that to be a frustrating way to ...more

I am probably being a bit generous with my rating, because the writing is, how shall I say, sparse. If you hate authors that languish in endless descriptions of non-consequential matters, this author is for you. But I like my writing a little more f ...more

Chazzle rated a book it was amazing The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
I know it’s not the best book of all time, but I did really enjoy it. At least four stars, and why not be generous, and give it the benefit of the doubt?

Chazzle rated a book liked it Sourdough by Robin Sloan (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
It's charming, but it's just kind of a weird story. Probably most readers would view it metaphorically, making it mean whatever they like.

It's not a bad book at all, probably about as good as your typical Mary Higgins Clark book. Probably the audience for the book is mostly female. But I stuck it out anyway.

The writer of the book clearly has talent. He can spin a sentence pretty much as well as anybody. While reading the book, I thought to myself many, many times, "Where is he going with this?" The incidents that occur, one after the other, ...more
