Bigger than a grain, okay.Yeah I do remember it now. There wasn't a whole lot of exciting plot points that really stick out in your memory, but the story is still pretty good. Sensation, it truly enjoy the fact that this is sort of a romance and does not deviate into smut.Territory at all.

"College boy" and "offended liberal" just made this book a dumb political manifesto by the author.

It's not enough just to tell an entertaining story, he wants to lecture his audience too.

Sad because it was an alright story without the weirdness of the author's voice added with the subtlety of a hammer from the pages.

It's kind of funny. This author is obviously a prepper. Which is fine whatever. But the amount of characters in this book that are fawning over the main character.... saying things like "oh he was so right, hes so smart. I wish I was like Randy..." etc.

I remember speculative prepper fantasy without political posturing, which is nice.

Dnf at 15%.

This is hardcore chicklit. The estrogen seeped off the pages. I need to go to the shooting range emblast away at a target to recover my time.

I like the world War z format. The characters are all so smarmy though. Not a ton of variability in attitude or vocabulary. All the characters even the 5 year olds, use big poetic metaphors, and they're all such bitches to each other without relent.

It's not a bad book by any means, but i'm finding that I do not look forward to reading this one.Whatsoever.

I think it's very interesting that this book is easily. Identifiable, by something that it was written in the nineties... which to me, doesn't it feel like there's been that much vernacular drift or huge changes in the writing since the nineties. Sure, there has been since the 70s. At least, but there's definitely something here that identifies this. As a somewhat dated buck

Very good book, even if some of the writing is a little dated.

This best main character I swear she was written initially as a male character.And then maybe like gender swapped in a final draft.

There's just so many male characteristics for a supposed straight female character. It keeps messing with my head, which is fine.Just a funny note.

Why are there so many pages devoted to airing out daddy issues? The story was fine without all this stuff

Oh, I get it.Can't believe it took me this long to get the metaphor it is fairly heavy handed. But I think it's still a nice message

The author's forward was overly sarcastic and super cringe worthy. It makes me doubt that this book will be good.

Biggest reading surprise in a long time. Chuck tingle is not some parody of comedy. I actually really enjoy his outlook, and it seems that we think along similar lines in many things... at least from what I can see in this book. Really good!

This is my first tingle book, and I have always avoided them due to the comedic.Titles

Those titles always make me think.His books are caricatures and parodies.And just over the top.

but what i'm finding is that it's actually kinda well written and interesting.

The movie is so faithful to this book. I gained no new information from reading the book. Thats fine, both the book and movie are good

Okay, so I love a good portal fantasy.It's one of my favorites... but I really really dislike cozy fantasy.

And this author is known for a lot of coziness, so i'm not sure what to expect.

But the beginning is pretty good.

Eww is this gonna be all US politics for the whole book?

Gonna DNF if thats the case.

It's written very well, so no knock against the author, other than the fact that he is clearly a news or Twitter addict.

Seems cute and overly satirical obv.

Narrator said one of my pet peeves alright. Hopefully she doesn't keep fucking it up.

OrientATed is not a word. Do not pronounce oriented that way.

I am shocked to see that I'm at 95%. Because there wasn't any sort of conclusion or climax or high point to the plot. This just feels like a continuation of what's been happening.

Good writing. The characters are written kinda well. Certainly a bit too fast to catch up sometimes.
Narrator isnt helping. Hes good but has no variation in tone making it difficult tonknow who's speaking.

Very dense with scifi concepts. Sometimes hard to keep up but the author does a good job of repeating the important bits
