Thrilling and terrifying

Outstanding view of Welsh coal mining village with wonderful prose. So touching and full of feeling. I have his next book on hold.

It was a cool sneak peak at the end of the Captain Underpants book and it was in comic style and so cool because I just saw the movie recently. Now I want to read the full Dog Man book.

Not one of his best…started off strong but then got too confusing!

This book was a brave step toward understanding and acceptance, especially for being published in 2012. The lines near the end at the romantic climax are annoyingly cliche but overall the book has an amazing message. The range of topics discussed in the book such as sexuality and racial identity were nearly impossible to cover during the time this book was bu

I really wanted to love this book! It came onto my radar because I follow the author’s nycbookgirl instagram for bookish content. The idea of a love story in an art museum with magical realism sounded like such an amazing premise, and the lovely cover sets a nice tone. The book got off to a solid start but fragments into multiple disparate plot twists (one of which involved the pandemic, which took the book out of the present for me). I also felt like the emotional declarations between the two main characters felt too big and instalove for my taste. Still, someday when I come across Matisse’s The Music Lesson, I will immediately think of this book and all that it strove to achieve. I listened to the dual narration audiobook on Libby.

Super good and really good for birdwatching.

I really like this book because it has gems in it and I like Amaya. I think someone else would like it because it has a girl who really likes her friends and they go into a place called gem world. I really like how at the end she gets her brother back and she gets her parents back with her brother.

Loved it!!!! Highly recommend

Loved this one quite a bit, always been a huge fan of robot stories and their ability to question what makes us human, and this one does a good job with it. Also very refreshing to see a robot story that isn't about them going rogue or otherwise revolting against humanity, instead asking "what would it look like if a robot had limitless love for its human?"
