There it is. The yearning for what you had as a kid and can’t ever go back to. That’s it. That’s the core of this book, and that’s lovely. (Page 207 of the ebook, when I need to talk to my bookclub about this moment)

I’m not sure I like how dennard writes. It just feels sorta flat.

I don’t like the teeth clicking

individual scenes are fun but i'm not sure the whole is landing anywhere particular.

starting over. the audiobook was using inflections for dialogue that I wouldn't have used. I feel like I would have said a lot of lines differently, so I think I should read it myself.

So cuuute

I don’t know how to lead a book club about it per say but it’s soooo cute

"I can't believe you don't like Jars of Clay! I figured you'd love heavy metal!" cryingggg

absolutely batty what is happening i'm losing my mind maybe

honestly the sassy dialogue is kind of a delight.

"Are you ready to reopen the discussion about getting a ferret"

WELL THEN.

This got. Weird. Really fast. Um.

MUCH better as a book than an audiobook. Part One was frankly breathless, and I loved that, while I couldn't even get halfway by listening. No matter what I'm gonna have to ding a star for how bad the audio experience is.

Caught up to the audiobook and enjoying it so much more

Honestly we were about halfway through, but the audiobook was just really bad. Starting over, with the text this time.

Yes bookclub is tomorrow it'll be FINE.

This is pretty fun, but I'm not sure the guy's perspective is doing that much.

This is deliciously stressful hehehe

lol dorky americans messing up all the things, julian must be so fed up with these kids and he's known them for like twenty minutes tops haha

Honestly I kinda liked him, that's a shame.

Ridiculous

Why did Larkin look up the director last. Why did he look up the Boom Mike operator first.

Bringing horrible cursing violent tv shows to your dad’s care home is a great idea.

Ahem.

The blow by blow steps of how to use vlc player is. Interesting???? Why?? Do I care that she’s using the E key to frame check??? Weird.

Forgot how much I do not like this book.

chanting "i'm not the target audience i'm not the target audience i'm not the target audience" again and again and again--tho as a librarian I SORT OF AM??

this would be a great nature and science museum. i maintain it would be a terrible library.

I bet lawyers feel the same way about the ace attorney series that i feel about books about libraries

yes i am a killjoy

Page 71, not 71 percent, haha, I switched back to the text to see if I can just plow through it faster. Debatable.

"cheezus peezus" -- this is award winning, isn't it? stars save me, i'm reading this for a coworker but maaan.

Giving the audiobook a try, it sort of helps with the stilted dialogue but it still doesn't feel right. This might be a case where the movie fixed the not very good book.

I'm glad they had new math in 1971 too. Circle and circle and circle.

I really don't care for how this is written, it's Exceedingly choppy.

Chris has the worst inner monologue, I haven't run into a character that's felt so Written By An Author in ages. Feels so stilted; I've enjoyed better fanfiction, oops.

I do declare, when I began this book I didn't anticipate ending up on the field of battle.
