Indulgent self-insert fanfiction with what might be the most fascinating rhyming scheme I've read anywhere.

I never thought the climax of this book would be a basketball game, or that it would work narratively. Anyway, I won't say more about that. This was an interesting read.

Frankenstein's Dude was an incel before incels' times.

As a protagonist, Coriolanus Snow's grip on me was unprecedented. I hate him! Loathe him! Despise him! But I had a hard time putting this book down. Snow lands on top.

If I hadn't known about Jack London's belief in white superiority, I'd be asking why the dog was racially prejudiced.

I remembered why I gave this book a 1⭐ rating on my initial read. All of the characters are intolerable.

I liked it more than my initial 3⭐ rating auggested. I like Bradbury's prose here.

I've never felt more conflicted on how I wanted a crime story to resolve. It is almost as much a love story (to horses) as it is a crime story.

What I thought was a Tommy and Tuppence reference may not have been intended as one. The Saturday Review wasn't shitting when they said there was a "thumping terminal surprise."

"She was so shocked that she went out and had three cups of black coffee and sat in the Park looking straight in front of her for the rest of the morning" is one of the most relatable sentences I've read in a minute. There's a Tommy and Tuppence reference the page after. I'm already sold.

The animal welfare in this book is concerning.

Gum Baby is somehow growing on me.

SO GOOD.

The art. The humor. The meta. It's so good!

James went so hard and for what.
