World building, some of the stories are amazing (0 more)
The heavy-handed religion, sexism, xenophobia, ham-fisted morality, God hates Susan (0 more)
These are really uneven.
If you skip The Horse and His Boy, The Last Battle, and arguably The Magician's Nephew, these are pretty good reads.

I don’t think I saw any of the twists coming. The main characters and the supporting characters were fantastically well-developed. They all added something to the story.Highly Recommend

I received a copy of this book as part of a first reads giveaway. I learned a lot of little details about all of the Kennedys while reading this. It definitely kept my interest and is a great read for anyone that likes history.

Love having good reads!
I read way too many books (if that is even possible). I love that I can track the books I have read. I also love go back and give recommendations of the ones I love and why I loved it.

Thought there might be more psychological theories in it, but got involved into a conversation about religion and God, whether he exists or not, and I am not a person that enjoys those kind of reads, I suppose. Nice book, but definitely not for me.

I always liked science based things and read this purely due to the Ebola theme. The science bits were well explained and the fact that this is a true story, yet reads as fiction, and could even happen again makes it a scarily good read.

This is definitely not for kids! This is a yaoi manga of short stories by Kou Yoneda. There are three main storylines. My favorite was the first story, in which the characters on the cover were featured. They're quick reads, but cute adult-based stories.
