Already making me cry. And then the author decides to do a chapter from the perspective of the whale that is alone and cannot communicate with other whales. 🥺

I’m enjoying this book, but it feels like no matter how much I read, I’m not making progress. Gonna have to return the book to the library and wait for it to come back around. P.S. Anything you think you know about gypsies is probably incorrect. That’s been eye opening.

Ok, “Hell is the Absence of God” was super interesting. Especially for sci-fi. I’m liking this type of sci-fi.

This book is why I still do reading challenges even though sometimes I want to stop. I never would have read this book any other way. And it is so good!

Still really liking it. Wondering how this story can stretch 60% more!

This is a 25 hour book. I’m listening at 1.35 speed. So far I definitely like the story. Will it be worth 25 hours? That remains to be seen.

What just happened? Did this book about a man turning into a great white shark just make me cry? Did not see that coming. This book is wonderful.

If he actually wrote this (and didn’t have a ghost writer) his writing is beautiful. I’m so impressed with how he writes.

Well, this has been a pleasant surprise! I certainly wasn’t expecting to enjoy it this much.

If I didn’t need it for my reading challenge, I’d quit this book. It is SO boring. I’m 44% through and have NO idea what the plot is. It’s just a character study of five women so far.

I think I could read in this universe forever. If the author just stayed in the universe and wrote books about different characters, I’d read every single one.

The writing is super good. This sequel is as good as the first so far. Rare for books to truly affect me emotionally. This one has got me.

All I want to do is sit and soak in these words. I love this book.

I’m an hour in. It would take a major mistake to earn less than 5 stars. It is a super fun audiobook. I can’t imagine those who read it would enjoy it as much.

What I have gotten myself into? This is some /dense/ reading. I like it, but it is going to be a looooong read.

This is a really fun book. But we are at a rather boring (but necessary, I suppose) part where the characters are teaching an alien how to speak. It’s just taking forever. I’m ready to move on.

I am a sucker for any book that is a retelling of The Odyssey. And this is no exception. So good.

I'm only 11% in and I love this book. These stories are so important! I'm so glad the author chose to record what happened to these women. So good.

I’m annoyed with myself for waiting so long to read this. Not only is it interesting and entertaining, but it is an easy-to-digest history of apartheid. I’m really enjoying learning so much about a place that seems so far removed from me.
