First time with a Harlan Coben book. Seen the name everywhere and his work has been adapted for TV.
Not impressed so far. Very cynical, but not clever in its writing. Telling, not showing.
Gonna push through though to get to the end of the novel's mystery.

Andrew Dowd is 13% done with Yellowface
Novel about stealing a book includes a nod to Kanye's "Stronger," 90% of which is a sampled Daft Punk song.
And the unreliable narrator seems to think the song is a Kanye original.
I see what you did there. Well done.😊

Andrew Dowd is 13% done with The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
(Audiobook)
Reading out the top last names in Manhattan to see if you know people with the same surnames is not a representative test for people outside that area. Manhattan is so economically and region specific. That taints some of the results he quotes.

Also, it felt like Gladwell was just reading from a phonebook for a little bit. Not the best tactic for an audiobook.

Andrew Dowd is 48% done with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter, #7)
A couple of exciting chapters, but then wayyyyy too much camping. 🥱
Too boring so far to live up to being the climactic book of the series.
Harry, get moving and do something to get closer to breaking those horcruxes!
