Christine A. (965 KP) rated Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking in Books

Nov 14, 2018

The book was very conversational. I prefer reading a more disciplined style of writing for nonfiction. I did not learn anything new from this reading. Almost all I had read in other readings.

Movie Favorite

"A fictional screenplay with fictional characters made so well that it felt like a biographical nonfiction drama, like a considerately staged documentary. Identity of place and people. I could smell and taste it."
