The movie adaptation of Jaws is a classic and iconic film, the book is messy in all the wrong ways. There are some problematic aspects to the book that cannot be ignored. The inclusion of rape culture, racism, misogyny, & the cat scene take " Read more of this review » |

It didn't take long getting into this book to really understand what the issue was. I listened to the podcast from the time the first episode publicly dropped. I loved the style of it and the ominous mysteries. When the novel was announced, Fink ment ...more |

“The difference between stupid and intelligent people -- and this is true whether or not they are well-educated -- is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. They are not baffled by ambigous or even contradictory situations -- in fact, they expect them and are apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward.”

Hey, Nick, have you read Stitches? I saw it at King Soopers (of all places) the other night, saw the fancy medal on the cover, enjoyed a bit of it, and wondered what you thought. Bobby gave it a good review,
Glad you made it here, mate. Beware, Goodreads is the land where everyone insists on mostly four- and five-star ratings. I have a hard time convincing people that a three-star rating is actually a recommended book. Most people won't read your reviews, which is a shame, because you've got a good mind and it translates to your criticism. So it is. I still like reviewing books. It takes a different level of thinking.
