I adore this book so much!

Obviously not novels, the Sharpe Companion books are interesting reading for anyone with a passing interest in the napoleonic wars. They're probably not going to help you pass any history degree, but are great for for a light diversion.

It's quite an intense read
The layout can be a little confusing at times.
Great Spin on your normal "Super Hero" Graphic Novels
  
• Characters appear older than they are
• Can't exactly understand what's going on if you just read the graphic version, but a good recap for those who have read the novels
• More detailed than the PJO versions, so there's that?

Book Favorite

"A quartet of Rabbit novels in one edition. For me, it is essential reading—as essential yet entirely different to Ford’s achievement. An extraordinary study and description of humanity and life in America between the ‘50s and the ‘90s."

"I first read this in college, expecting a dusty 500-year-old classic. The joke was on me, literally. This book, one of the first true novels, remains fresh and hilarious to this day, an earthy and poignant delight."

One of the more interesting novels I've ever read, and still one of my favorites, about two people interconnecting through fate and chance. You can read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/09/26/when-souls-collide/
