Love it

When Dex family is mentioned this book really becomes unrealistic. There is no conflict at all. Ever. And they are this big polyamorous family just living together in peace?? While this book is on some accounts better than the first it is by no means a good book

I don’t like the authors attitude to animals at all. On page 104 a fish is described as “something” rather than someone. And in this utopian world they could not make do without killing animals??

I like the robot. Some of the topics are nice, like what is organic, inorganic, once something is so processed that I doesn’t recycle it’s outside the cycle of life etc. but still don’t enjoy the book or the main character. Mostly reading to finish and because it’s shot

I don’t like the main character much, he doesn’t know what he wants and is also kinda rude. In general the book is a little boring, I like the robot but it’s more wanna-be philosophy

The they/them makes it so hard to read and so confusing. Not sure if I can finish this.

Really good and concise book. Some things I knew but some things that I never fully understood are also explained really well.

Not sure about the flow of the chapters, it’s very interesting but no clear thread to follow (e.g. chronological, maybe it’s a bit geographical but still)

This book is a lot about Buddhism, I hope he will also touch on some other topics

Chapter 3 was maybe a bit less easy to read and less interesting, maybe because too many names were mentioned. But very interesting that Greek gods might’ve influenced the looks of Hindu gods

Very interesting already! It feels a bit as if he is not a fan of Hinduism though and very pro Buddhism

Kind of hard to read

He’s even describing how he cruelly trained his dog??

Some chapters are really boring and also really disconnected trains of thought

Disconnected chapters. He tries to be like open and honest along the lines of “I’m only human” but he still manages to sound cocky. When he talks about animals he says that he feels for them and wonders if they have consciousness etc but then he goes to Nepal where he looks inside an elephants eyes and sees “infinite sadness” but still continues to ride the elephant with like 4 people??

I liked do no harm much more, this one is slightly cocky and privileged and not as interesting

At first I was unsure but I’ve grown fond of the writing style now. Lots of words I don’t know but then also wrong and weird words, random capitalization like it’s written by a super eloquent child. Sometimes hard to keep up with the story because it’s told achronologically.
