It's okay

Good information, but the writing suffers from too much explaining sources.

rocking story

I'm about 200 pages into this and for the life of me I cannot see why I'm reading it at all. I'll keep going for a little longer, because I hate not finishing a book.

great accessible history.

It's going well, but I feel there is a lot of apologizing going on here.

It's getting a lot better/exciting

There is a reason this is a classic. It's superb.

I started this year with the goal to read The Iliad, The Odyssey, and the Aeneid. I’m about half way through with the Iliad and I’m a bit befuddled by it all. Not by the language, or the setting, or even the violence, but rather the pettiness of it all.

This book starts out great and then loses its way. It turns into -- becomes obsessed with -- a romance that drags on and distracts the reader from the horror at large of the titular Beetle.

I understand why this book has been a hit for some many eons. Even so, Axels constant whining and the professor's constant stubbornness gets old.

Superb

I think I've read about as much as I'm going to. A good book for sure, but Applebaum doesn't deliver the answers I'm looking for. To be fair, I'm not really sure what the questions are.

This is a great book. A lot to it. Well researched and written.

Just started

It's kind of tedious.

Withholding judgment

It's gotten tedious.

Okay, I was skeptical at first, but this is going to be good.

Okay, it just gets better with every page. After what can only be a mediocre effort with the last entry in the series, Kahn has come back roaring.

It's wonderful

It's okay. Gets tedious after a while.

I love this graphic novel. It has everything.
