Enjoyable mystery set in Ireland in 1509 with the protagonist a female who is a sort of judge in traditional Gaelic law. An entertaining book where you also feel like you learned something new!

Book Favorite

"The greatest female protagonist I’ve ever read. Portis is one of the most underrated under appreciated authors of the 20th century. Forget the film versions. Read the book. His book, ‘Dog Of The South,’ is also brilliant."

Fun, short read
This book is a short read, but is way too similar to Thinner and doesn't quite match that book's ingenuity and excitement. It is a good story, very good, but lacks the originality I've come yo expect from King.

Book Favorite

"The character Sula was the first protagonist who made me feel okay with my own non-conformity, with the gray areas, with coloring outside the lines as a multiracial trans kid. Plus, Morrison’s writing about womanhood, convention and the fierce attachment of female friendship is astounding."

Another John Green fave
Green does an excellent job writing a believale female protagonist who struggles with her mental health. If you like his other books, you'll like this one too. I enjoyed reading it. I was laughing and crying throughout most of it.

Obsessive love in Tangier
This novel seemed to me like a mix of Single White Female and The Talented Mr. Ripley. The plot was entertaining, if predictable. The characters though, unlike Gone Girl’s titular protagonist, were unlikeable and seemed to have no redeeming qualities.

It didn't have me flying by the seat of my pants. There were some moments of anxiety felt for the main protagonist but nothing really memorable. It was neither here nor there.

Good female protagonist, plot a bit clunky
I was definitely looking forward to watching this as it's very rare to have a superhero film geared towards female characters instead of side parts. The story and dialogue unfortunately was a bit of a let down which tends to be the case with some comic books because everyone's speech was that of a 10 year old. A good start however. Definitely want to see the character of Nubia in the next film.

Facial expressions (0 more)
Many people have talked badly about Mass Effect Andromeda, but in my opinion, the facial expressions in Horizon are not very good either. The idea that Aloy was supposed to romance characters and then didn't completely remove everything is a bit odd. You can tell when there should have been a romance option, but it's not in the dialogue
