| Hilarious, and wacky, and a lot of fun, but I bounced off this in print because of the litRPG format and a lot of things about the format put me off in audio. I guess I've read plenty of fantasy books where the heroes are essentially grinding and gai ...more | |

| More like 3.5 I was a little relieved to see that other readers found this a low point of the series. I really enjoyed going back to the Darujhistan characters, and I found Murillio, Crokus, Chalice, Kruppe and the whole gang to be the most interesti ...more | |

| I can't believe I went my whole life not knowing the twist at the end, which made the reading experience much more rewarding. I was not sure whether Hammett genuinely found Spade's behavior to be admirable and something to emulate, or if he was writi ...more | |

I hadn't read any Flannery O'Connor and it was time to change that, so I picked this one and enjoyed it all the way through, though I think it is probably better in print than in audio. It's a satire of how people interact with religion and religious ...more |

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life:
The Lord of the Rings
and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
