Im starting to feel the length of this.

Still vety well written, but... how am I only at 50%?? O.O

I'm listening to this and I'm certain the perfect narrator was picked. Not a fan of the random sound effects, I fucking hate them honestly, but they can't keep me from enjoying this. Its wild how this book just doesn't slip character, it is so thoroughly rooted in, and written for, this particular time and place.

This man can WRITE.

Time to get into this behemoth.

I wish I would read this during the day so I could get through it faster. This is a fascinating read.

This is the absurdity my brain needs right now.

😴

A whole lot of nothing is going on here.

I'm pretty sure cozy is just not a genre for me.

I'm enjoying this quite a bit.

Gotta say, I'm pretty bored with this one.

I'm kind of ready for this to be over already and it is still in the setup.

My brain needed a break, but this might be too much of one.

Rivers Solomon is brilliant, I really do love their ability to tell a story, but between this, Some Danger Involved, Lost Ark Dreaming, and the current state of the US... I'm a little bummed out. So much hate and greed between these three stories and current world events. :(

This is a Sherlockian type of story, you've got the brilliant (though not quite eccentric) private detective and his equally smart, but more formal sidekick solving crimes. It's doing nothing to really elevate the trope and quite frankly, with the current state of the US, I am finding the whole story centered around 'us vs them' mob mentality exhausting.

I should be getting through this novella quicker, but I keep falling asleep when I read it in bed at night... not because the book is boring, but because I am so very sleepy and my bed is comfy. :D This is pretty good so far, but it could benefit from a different translator - there's some real funkiness going on at times with the sentence structure just being flat out wrong.

This is so absurd, I never know what this author is going to throw at me and I've been left laughing a few times.
