Entertaining, but nothing special

Would be an excellent course text for either my UX 2 or 3 class. Direct, succinct and powerful

I really enjoyed the mystery part, but the romance was a little much. Kept skipping little chunks here and there. Otherwise, it coulda been a solid four stars

Probably closer to a 2.5. Seemed to drag on during the second half. Would make a great hallmark-type movie

This is probably my favorite mystery I’ve read in the past year. Might even go as high as a 4.5

Took me a couple years and a couple tries, but I finally finished this one. The imagery is gorgeous, but imbalanced when compared with the slow plot. I had a hard time drumming up enough interest to finish it. Definitely easier to consume as an audiobook.

2 for the boring first half, 4 for the interesting second half.

Better than the first: moved away from cheesy battles/fight scenes and more into mystery and intrigue. Character development seems a bit forced.

Interesting theory and well-written. Read at the same time as The Master Switch; plenty of places to draw connections.

Probably one of the best novels I have ever read. Mitchell does a fantastic job of switching voices and hooking you in to stories that you aren't sure matter in the grand scheme of things and that you know you won't be coming back to for pages and pages.
