Superb
A magnificent and sometimes shocking novel. Powerful and it grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go. Funny, tragic, gut wrenching, and one of the classic works of modern literature.

I really enjoyed this novel. It was a quick and relatively easy read. It also explores a lot of different issues, and it did legitimately make me cry, which doesn't happen often. I definitely identified with the main character.

This was probably the most well-written book I read in 2016. It was seriously beautiful!! I wish it would have been longer, but this short beauty of a novel still managed to cover DECADES of a person's life!

1st person shooter
A very stylish shooter based on the novel "Metro 2033". It is rather dark (in tone) but lovely to look at. It can get rather hectic at times, kind of like a Russian "Fallout"

I think Watchmen is a marvelous graphic novel about the idolization of heroes in society. We praise heroes, but what happens when they are not necessarily the good guys? Are you wrong for rooting for justice, rather than goodness?

Really struggled to get through this (but in general am glad I did). There is an improvement over the alloy of law, but it felt more like a bridge novel to set up events in the bands of mourning.

I read this novel long ago and I didn't not appreciate it then as I would now. The ending is not what I thought it would be and Deaver did such a great job at not giving it away.

The first book was definitely my favorite, but I appreciated the incorporation of Mik and Suzanna in the Chimera world. It gave the story just the right amount of levity.

I liked the first 2/3rds of this novel, but then it dissolved into something really odd. Odd to the point of slightly disturbing, which is kind of Ballard's thing. But, I don't think it worked in this case.
