4.5. Unsure if I’m rounding up of down yet. I understand the criticism for the book’s focus on body image issues but I also feel like the character growth and banter outweigh that. It’s also weird to me that people have largely ignored the reason why the FL has self image issues to begin with.

Honestly, the intimate scenes in this book are super cringe.

Honestly, only sticking around to find out what happens to May-May and Mary. I don’t care about anyone else.

Maybe I’m just in a bad mood, but I feel like Tai-pan doesn’t have the same charm as Shōgun. What really sold me about Blackthorne as a character was how frequently we got to hear his inner monologue and rational, and I feel like we get VERY little of that from Struan comparatively, or really anyone else for that matter.

Okay, so the first ~25% was kind of a drag in the sense that I didn’t care about any of the characters expect Holden + crew. The story has definitely picked up now and the roles everyone’s playing is way more apparent. I think that’s why the new character bothered me- they seemed largely unimportant and inconsequential for too long.

FL’s quips have a tendency to feel like she’s snapping at people rather than bantering. She’s kinda rude.

I really hate when men in books call people ‘woman’. Not sure if I hate that more than when women are called psycho.

It really irritates me when media suggests that you can immediately donate blood to someone in an emergency. It’s doesn’t work like that. Blood is tested for blood-born illnesses before it’s deemed safe for transfusion. Hospitals have blood banks. Hospitals will even source blood from other hospitals. There’s like a 2 day lag between donation and distribution of blood. I just know this is gonna come up again.

I might take a small pause on finishing this, partially to clear up some of my loans. I also think I unintentionally burnt myself out on Murderbot since I sorta feel like I’ve only been listening to this book with half my brain. Basically, I feel like I’ve done this book a small disservice atm and need to shift my focus a bit.

Increasingly more different from the movie. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing or anything, just makes you wonder why they decided to change certain things.

Fairly different from the movie tbh. Notably, Berto.

Honestly, it’s shockingly boring and not scary.

Only a few minute in and I already like the second short story better than Minority Report, which in retrospect makes a lot of sense since that movie really freaked me out as a kid. I still occasionally think about the eyeball scene to this day.

This book isn’t for me, which is interesting because some of the worries that the narrator has are things I relate to and experience. Too cerebral and kinda dull.

All the men in this book are trash. It’s also unexpectedly sexual.
