It's funny

Cannot finish it. Too heavy and depressing.

This book is the first in a series full of fun adventure, fantasy, and romance. There are plot twists around every corner, or in this case, every.

Second in the series. A man is poisoned by a cup of coffee he made himself while home alone. His wife was on another island at the time. The man’s girlfriend is the one who finds his body. And the lead detective is falling in love with the new widow. Seems like it’s a case of murder, but the police cannot find proof or even a solid motive. They’ll eventually need the help of the physics professor who has helped on past cases.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in politics, economics, sociology, religious studies, etc. WWZ is a masterful look into a post-Collapse society following a zombie outbreak. I've recommended this book to people from all sorts of backgrounds and fields of study/work. Each one finds something in the book which pulls them in. However, some people don't like zombies or anything which could be considered scary so that's okay too.

It was a very good book. I liked the characters and I recommend buying it.

3.75 stars rounded up. I find this book very hard to rate as much of the merit comes from its status as a classic. Mark Twain’s novel is full of adventure, boyhood mischief and depictions of the racist antebellum Southern US. I’m very familiar with the story and probably have the strongest memory of the Elijah Wood portrayal on film. There’s nostalgia that comes with taking that trip down the river with Huck and Jim and revisiting their stops along the way. Yet, during this reading, I was shocked at the preponderance of vernacular and ear-piercing slurs (specifically the n-word) that made it rather hard to listen to on audio. If this book were written today as historical fiction, I’d probably be rounding down the rating, but I can’t ignore where this text stands in history. Tom Parker’s narration felt rather fast-paced, but his voice felt authentic though his occasional vocal clicks stuck out a bit.

Harry was very brave and stood up for the safety of his friends

Like another book in this series on which he collaborated with another author, this lacks the humor and quirkiness of his other novels. It’s well written and an interesting story, but not quite as entertaining.

I read this book because I’m a fan of the Meant to Be series in which various authors retell Disney princess stories. This modernization of Mulan was ok. I kept thinking how I might have made different choices as the author, but I did get a kick out of Mushu. This book was a bit forgettable for me. I listened to it on Audible using my monthly Amazon Music Unlimited credit.
