Liking this open and honest, if frenetic, course through the career of a drugged up east coast chef.

A bit much, but written straight forwardly, I'll come back to this.

Raw, a bit arrogant in mood, despite constant self deprecation.

Entertaining - a bit crudely written. Standard speaking vernacular is good to a point, but for an entire book it starts to run thin.

Commentary on modern communication - some car conversations are almost soapbox level. It does a good job of giving views their voice, which provides enough rope to hang itself.

Very interesting and compelling. Sociopathy is not well defined and clearly a spectrum, like most human behaviors and behavioral conditions.

Well written and relatable. Definitely a spectrum of behavior, but to not feel anything outside happy vs sad; no remorse, guilt, or context for feelings in interesting. DIfferent from Autism as reading others is not the problem, it's understanding the feeling or caring about them.

Interesting, but not grabbing my attention and focus right now, history book with a drama veneer. I don't have much for context here.

Great info, pretty good presentation, still reads like a textbook in most instances, so couldn't hang through

Very good - follows mostly the history of Szeth. Not a ton has happened in the now, but I've still enjoyed it. I'd say I am hopeful for the ending.

Amazing story of a woman without equal rights being treated as a pawn for her husbands ego - sent to an asylum for not being subservient. I am eager for her to leave the 7th ward.

Great prose, very protective of nature. Anti-person, almost. I get it.
