Wow, this is stupid. If your answer to the mystery is "I and nano bots did it", then please also elaborate on how the nano bots reveal the secrets of the universe, driving people crazy, with one touch. How exactly is AI changing your brain with the touch of a robot?

It's honestly a bit boring at the moment - yes, despite the first person dying already. Not sure if I will continue ...

This is largely just boring? The plot seems to move so slow and i don't really care about these people.
Make stupid, but I also expected to learn more about the collapse of Lehmann brothers. This book is exceptionally light on the economic facts.

Tripitaka considered. "But what if the queen forces me to sleep with her? I would lose both my chastity and my masculine yang essence."

- name one man more alpha than Tripitaka.

Controversial (?) opinion: I wish this book was more about tea. Instead I have to endure this political intrigue plot. If I wanted that, if read political thriller.

Love interest really told her she is not like other girls 😂😂😂

Sooo the twist about Gideon's and Harrow's relationship is that Gideon "killed Harrow's parents" because she talked to them before they suicide, telling them that their daughter tried to do something forbidden?
Gosh, I wish Gideon actually liked them.

I can feel it, this time I'll manage to get into this story (after trying for 6 years)

After reading 70% of this I can't say I'm surprised Jurek doesn't think highly of "western medicine" (you may call it evidence-based as well)

Cola = mit Pockenerregern infizierte Wolldecken
Alles klar

"Fast täglich werden in pflanzlichen Lebensmitteln neue Mikronährstoffe entdeckt, die vor Krankheiten schützen."

Muss man das wirklich Gegenprüfen, um zu sagen wie viel Unfug in dieser Aussage ist???

Once again, a woman settles for an asshole who doesn't even seem to be willing to work on the relationship. We love to see it.
Highly realistic for women of Alice's age, though.

Oh no, we have a purity vegan who's afraid of "chemicals" in food 😂
(Everything is chemical)

Proteinempfehlung von Scott Jurek (ohne Quelle, scheint aber eine häufig genannte Zahl zu sein): 56 Gramm für Männer, 46 Gramm für Frauen. Lässt leider außer acht, dass Menschen unterschiedlich viel wiegen + unterschiedliche Aktivitätslevel haben und deswegen unterschiedlich viel Protein brauchen. Ich würde mit 46 Gramm nur 2/3 meines omnivoren und, wegen Bioverfügbarkeit, nur 50% meines veganen Proteinbedarfs decken

Wie absurd und unreflektiert kann man sein, wenn man in einem Satz sagt, dass ein Freund mit gebrochenem Knöchel Skifahren musste und in einem Zimmer, dass -25°C hatte schlafen musste, nur um sich dann mit diesem zu vergleichen und zu sagen, dass das eigene Leben viel härter sei und dass des Freundes die pure Unbeschwertheit?

I don't know how you manage to make a person whose main storyline is that their childhood was super tough to make so unlikable ... I have never heard a person call Scott Jurek unlikable but this book (about him, by him) does not seem to do him any favours

"Or you know what it is? You hate yourself so much, you'll hurt anybody who loves you. That's it, isn't it? Just to get even with them for living you."
- I used to think this was profound, now I think it gives Quentin far too much credit 😂

So far I'm not impressed with this book. It is extremely episodic and seems to float around in thoughts, without properly telling the story. I think this was fine to start, but at almost 100 pages, reading 200 more like this seems like a pointless chore

This reads as if we suddenly stumbled into a rich boyfriend wish fulfillment story ... Currently deeply unimpressed with Kaveh's rich son persona.

"You can address me as doctor smooth."
Me: 🤮🤢
Cora: Now that he was less terrified of his life, his natural charm came out. And he was charming. He clearly knew it, too.

Alright, maybe Cora really has a concussion.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to make Ampersand sound fuzzy and much quieter than the rest of the audiobook deserves to be fired

they loved him, each in his or her way, each according to his or her capacity for loving.

Their hearts burst into tears while their eyes remained dry and accusing, staring in hostility and anger.

She was handsome but much too large and unyielding both in body and mind, and they liked clinging women. They were oak-trees, preferring the feminine ivy. It might cling rather close, it might finally strangle, it frequently did, and yet they preferred it, and this being so, they resented Stephen, suspecting something of the acorn about her.

Allosexual people in books are so fucking stupid
