Murakami's Prose
There's a section of the book that talks a lot about trains and railroads, and it gets very technical to the point of losing the reader along the way if they're not familiar with the trade. (0 more)

Disturbingly relevant even to contemporary events
Philip Roth's vivid dystopian novel depicts America under a fascist government through the eyes of a 9-year-old boy in the peak of World War One. It's dark and compelling, showing how creeping discrimination can ultimately make way for potential genocide. Absolutely grim yet gripping.

[BOMB] by [Steve Sheinkin] is the story of the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. It is broken into readable chunks and although it is very information heavy it is still interesting. As a YA nonfiction novel it is ok. The topic itself lends itself to being a little dry.

Quick read

So this was a one-shot book where each page has an illustration and a sentence or a fragment of a sentence that goes with the image.

Spooky graphic novel with some interesting peices that I wish could have had a little more back story to.

Finished in about 20 minutes

Good artwork and an interesting storyline, this graphic novel follow a young girl, Aika, who only speaks Swahili who seeks sanctuary in a church. the exact nature of what she is running from is not clear but the urgency and action lead to an exciting journey with a happy if rushed ending.

So the black death was actually a zombie plague! really?!? This is the kind of title that smaller publish houses can specialise in and as such will find its niche market of graphic novel lovers who will talk long into the night about the minutiae of the plot, unfortunately, that is not me,
