An incredible story of his rise and rise from Paypal through to Tesla and SpaceX (3 more)
His passion and desire to fulfil his dreams, no matter how 'crazy' comes through within the writing
Motivational and mind-expanding
Vance pulls no punches and hounded Musk until he agreed to cooperate with the book - good stuff!
Some of the later chapters on Tesla and SpaceX were a bit too techy - more interested in the subject himself (0 more)
One crazy genius!

I really wanted to like this book but it just wasn't there. The concept was good and there were glimmers of great character development but it seemed to much like "World War Z" and "I Am Legend", the movie versions which were not that good. Also the structure of the writing was more ADD than me....KITTY!...Oh, sorry but proves my point. With more structure and personality this books would have been much more enjoyable.

I didn't really care for this book. From the very beginning there were so many character presented that it was incredibly hard to keep them all straight. They were either all related, in business together, or sleeping with each other. The writing itself was good, but it just seemed like the author was trying too hard. The mystery in the book fell flat.
All in all it was okay, but not an author I would seek out again.

Incredibly creative and disturbing look at transformation
Han Kang is an absolute gem in terms of creative writing and The Vegetarian does not disappoint. It's difficult to explain without completely spoiling the plot but it consists of a woman becoming vegetarian and her subsequent 'transformation'.

The beautiful imagery and the graphic details about mental health is unique, and at times the insanity of the novel resembles Kafka's Metamorphosis. It is definitely in that league of magical realism.
