Extremely Comprehensive

Revisado: 04-07-25

Tour de force from Sapolsky on why we do what we do. Extremely comprehensive and insightful without being overbearing. The neuroscientist in me was nerding out at some parts.

Entertaining, but not really about vampires.

Revisado: 02-24-25

This book isn’t really a guide to slaying vampires. It’s more about upper middle class southern women, their role in their private and public spheres, and the navigation of those while assessing a threat. This might have hit home a little harder if it was written by a woman. There were several times when the women were reduced to the most basic stereotypes, and it was a bit disappointing. Overall, entertaining read. I liked the narrator.

Maybe too quick?

Revisado: 02-24-25

Not bad. Definitely creepy at times. I think this story could have been better if it was longer. I wanted to know more about the protagonist. And longer scenes with more details about the run-ins with the creepy townsfolk would have been fun. I liked the narrator's intensity.

Wow. Couldn't Love It More

Revisado: 01-24-25

This book was just what I needed. All of the things Urbaniak talks about in this book resonated with me so much. The topics touched on and skills taught really cut to the heart of a lot of discontent I personally feel. I could not recommend this book enough. I would LOVE to meet Kasia Urbaniak one day. She seems quite the force.

Original Game of Thrones

Revisado: 01-07-25

Exciting story filled with love, violence, betrayal, and dragons. What more could you want?! I enjoyed learning about these classic characters' origins and definitely see how this inspired many works after it. It's also another good demonstration of how an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

Beautiful and Heartbreaking

Revisado: 12-23-24

4 stars. Beautiful and heartbreaking. Emerence gave all and didn’t all for much, but the narrator still couldn’t fully understand her until it was too late. Well told story with interesting characters.

4.5 stars

Revisado: 12-13-24

4.5 stars. Might have been 5 if it didn't constantly rip my heart out. Mbue did a good job of alternating narrators and informing timeline through them. That's not always pulled off well. I would definitely recommend this book.

Creepy short read

Revisado: 11-27-24

Fun, creepy short read, albeit it a little predictable. It might make an entertaining movie.

The Story Captivated Me

Revisado: 11-20-24

I knew the premise of the story before I began reading this book, but I thoroughly enjoyed the tale. I found Dorian to be a very interesting protagonist, and was fascinated imaging a person who was so unbound by morality that they would destroy most they came into close contact with. This is a book I would read again, and anticipate I'd find more to uncover the second time around.

Fun Twist

Revisado: 11-20-24

Fun twist, not overly unpredictable, but the author was able to tell an engaging story in a short amount of time. I'm looking forward to other stories in this Amazon collection.
