If you like your humor dark black with no cream or sugar, here's the book for you. I loved it. The sparse prose makes the comedy really pop. Moments of real emotion ground the whole experience. Absolutely great book. ...more

Tucker May rated a book it was amazing So Big by Edna Ferber	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
"So Big" is an absolute classic. A joyful celebration of the quiet, small beauties of everyday life. Interesting to see how preferred sentence structure in fiction has shifted in the century since its publication. I defy anyone to read this book and ...more

Tucker May rated a book it was amazing Summerland by Michael Chabon	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Few writers capture Americana like Chabon. Here he layers on fantasy elements for a rollicking kid's journey. A great example of how to use a character's "flaw" to save the day in a satisfying way. ...more

Very fun book! Gotta love some satirical sci-fi. A relatable, flawed protagonist drives interstellar hi-jinx under the thumb of suffocating corporate overlords. Had me rooting hard for her right from the get-go.

About as hardboiled as a novel gets. "Perfidia" is a barroom brawl of a book. Everybody's crooked, nobody's innocent. A complex, sprawling mystery and a masterclass in tonal writing. Ellroy's word choice, sentence structure are so specific it's astou ...more

Tucker May made a comment on Logan Rees’s review of Death of a Billionaire " Thanks so much, Logan! "
Dec 14, 2025 11:31AM · see review
Tucker May liked Logan Rees's review of Death of a Billionaire: "A murder mystery for the modern age and a satirical takedown of our current technocratic dystopia. It’s a page turner full of fun twists, dry humor, and cathartic cruelty to our billionaire overlords. "

Raven Black by Ann Cleeves -- a fun read -- provides an important reminder that pivotal scenes in a story should be presented to the reader directly -- a reveal experienced via character dialogue can easily fall flat. Let the reader live it as the ch ...more

Hard to find a fresh take on superheros nowadays, but V.E. Schwab managed it. A dark, personal story rather than a Marvel world-ender is refreshing. This book accomplishes for superhero tales what Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell did for magic. Great r ...more
