- harder sci-fi than I usually read but enjoyable. I am struggling with the timelines and names ;^^
- its very YA and you can tell
- the one character is unlikeable and not even in a fun way :/ you could predict the entire storyline from page 10
- fascinating look into how the USA's obsession with anti-communism ruined fucking everything and got thousands to millions killed
- I struggled to get through this one, as while the biographies were relatively interesting, they didn't SAY anything. In fact, some seemed to reinforce negative sterotypes/right-wing propoganda
- characters were flat, uninteresting, and terrible people
- the setting was underutilized, as was the murder mystery aspect
- extremely disgusting politics and ideologies. wtf.
- really liking the two different stories, intrigued to where this might go
- author failed to deliver on literally every single level
- failed to acknowledge or use an ounce of critical thinking !!! its an embarassment!!!
- gross and gross
- insightful and based in fact (awesome) but a kinda weird focus on porn? Unsure how to feel yet, but enjoying it thus far
- really focused on porn and pop culture more than capitalism, which was disappointing :/
- extremely relatable and, thus far, introspective
- mix of autobio and information on autists - personal stories or otherwise
- canadian perspective - ontario based - on class post lockdown
- i bought this book in 2024 or 2023 and have been holding onto it since. But I regret having waited so long!
- wonderfully written autobiography mixed with retellings of the Quran make this an incredibly impactful and relatable read
- i have heard so much about this book, but have mostly remained spoiler free - am excited to form my own thoughts
- there are not words i can use that will be new or more insightful than what others have said before. There is a reason Toni Morrison is famous for her craft!
- i enjoyed the haunting and dark atmosphere interlaced with INdigenous culture, however, the SEVERE abelism feels unaddressed :/
- FUCKING PHENOMENAL THUS FAR !!!!
- really enjoyed almost every essay and found it very poinent and needed
- very interesting and i appreciate the science-based approach, however, it is a little difficult to get through
- Not what I was expecting, but im too early to make a proper judgement yet
- I'm thinking of the conflicting reviews... why are people like this?
- i hate the main character already
- yep. Still hate him. I find it difficult to understand people who excuse his actions.
- humanizing African peoples and counties through media, politics, and anti-racism
- A bit basic on the "hey dont be racist" bit but also very much needed
- the pacing was a bit off, but overall really enjoyable
- really enjoyed the poetic language, which is newer to me
- millenial cringe humour - I had to check the publication date to see if it really was published 2012. It wasn't.
- I struggled with the science but enjoyed it nonetheless
- lovely art but story, while interesting, felt disconnected
- enoyed it and its message, but did feel a bit heavy handed at times
- i have to think on this one
- really impactful mix of science and autobiography and social commentary
- really enjoying the unveiling of the mystery/truth as character gets radicallized
- loved how the book ended and started with the Kwen
- not nearly as enjoyable as the first book due to distance from situation and characters imo
- while concept is interesting and well unravelled, I couldnt get into it due to the nature of the character (or lack thereof)
- understood the "click" time travel / repition/ thing but felt it was too obvious and not obvious enough
- time travel through milk?
- for what it was supposed to comment on, or SHOULD'VE commented on, it did very little
- be the good you wish to see in the world
- quick but pleasant read; did not understand all the hype
- slow pace but pays off due to characters and their development
- court intrigue/drama, political drama but fantasy
- really good world building and politics but a bit hard to stick with if not for loveable MC
- slow build but got interesting as it progressed
- enjoyable but rather predictable and typically y/a
- hard to like characters at first due to their flaughty politics but that is the point
- book felt longer than it should have been and lost me around the middle, but quickly picked up in the second half
- enjoyed it overall, especially regarding the undoing of political propoganda and brainwashing
- while the concepts of the book and within the book seem to directly speak to me and my experiences, I was underwhelmed and dissappointed
- thoughts were interesting due to the nature of said thoughts, but the book didn't speak to anything in particular
- want to get the physical copy for my father, ha ha
- very well done and well written (albiet more academic) introduction and analysis/critique of contemporary transphobia/queerphobia
- slightly repetitive but needed reinforcement of how transphobia and corruption has spread across the world under the guise of 'gender criticism' or denial
- insights into european and american transphobia as well as transphobia through colonialism in Africa
- while I don't usually like YA novels too much, i found this one rather enjoyable! The characters felt interesting (albiet frustrating at times) and the slow start pays off later on
- I liked the sapphic romance, but wish they had more time developing a friendship first, not love at first sight
- saw the mother spoiler/reveal from the start, but still found it compelling enough
- overall a good read! 3.75/5 stars from me :D
- love this mix of sci-fi and cosmic horror
- really enjoyed the detached narration and lack of names juxtaposed against the unreliable narrator and biased telling
- i think knowing about the movie and analysis of it damped my experience reading a bit, but that is my own fault
- found that the overwhelming and ever increasing strangeness and uncanny-ness was really well done
- 4.5/5 stars. Can't wait to read more from the author and series!
