I just started and it already so good (and emotional )

Everyone knows Dog Man IS GREAT

I absolutely loved this book it’s extremely funny and very enthralling I read the whole series in one week

It’s an amazing book and is very interesting it’s about a really smart boy passing a series of test.

A little slow but I loved the characters and history. It made me want to go back to Florence and see the artwork with more appreciation.

Fascinating history of the emergence of a publicly funded regional police force with beat officers and plain oclothes detectives. Medical discoveries and new technology soon sparked new methods for solving crimes. Some photos, extensive footnotes with sources, and an index. A great read on a foggy day.

For readers who have met New York author (and eventual resident of Maine) Lucy Barton in Strout’s other books, this is an interesting deep dive into her life. It focuses on a period in. Barton’s life where her children were young and she is in the hospital for nine weeks with a severe infection following routine surgery. Not sure if I would have enjoyed this story if I hadn’t read about Barton in Strout’s other books.

4.5 stars. I’m a fan of Ashley Poston and have been looking forward to this book that combines magical realism, romance and song. I loved how each chapter is a lyric. The book has touching dementia representation. While I think the “magic” of the book was well executed, it’s hard not to have a critical lens of a mind reading situation in which both main characters can tap into each other’s thoughts. My other gripe was how the male main character went by two names throughout the book, which somehow messed with my perception of their bond. Still, I enjoyed this book and will read more from Ashley Poston in the future. I listened to the audiobook with its narration by Patti Murin.

Hooky is and amazing book the author did such a good job writing it and I would read it a hundred times over again.

It was amazing and so much fun.every page made me smile and want to read more ??
