It wasn’t nearly as good as Fourth Wing. I liked the characters, but couldn’t get into the world building. I didn’t love Kingfisher. I liked Saeris, Carrion, and loved Renfis. Not sure if I’ll read the next one. It depends on how long it is.
This is an amazing book. If you want to learn how to discover your true potential to love, heal, and live with infinite love and gratitude this is the book to read. If you are having health challenges, mental challenges, or simply life challenges and want to learn the skills to achieve optimal health, dignity and peace of mind, you must read this book.
Such a great book! Totally resonated with me since I went to prep school. Writing is good too.
This was an intellectual, magical, and romantic whirlwind of a book. It was well written.
I found it overall just a blah story. I especially didn’t get or engage with Duke. I didn’t get her desire for him. Her descriptions of him weren’t particularly sexy or juicy. He seemed to treat her more like an object or he was neglectful and selfish. He was a bad influence on her. Not sure what she liked about him. He wasn’t likable. She described the scenery beautifully. The family characters were boring or whiny. Joe had absolutely no personality. I’d skip it if you’re considering reading this. It’s overhyped, probably because she has other books that are great, and because Meryl Streep is narrating the audio version.
I loved Atlas and Lily’s love! What a beautiful love story, despite the setbacks and challenges they had to overcome. I loved Marshall’s kindness. I loved Alyssa’s loyalty to Lily. All in all a well written series.
Michelle's descriptions of family, food, grief, trauma, and her relationships with her family and husband are immersive, honestly descriptive, and heartfelt.
I loved this book. Very sad, but I couldn't put it down. I had intended reading Alice Sebold's next book but never got around to it.
Excellent book! Great character development. Very touching and inspiring story. Can't wait to see the movie!
This book is a great fable about a man who realizes that though he had wealth and success, he wasn't living a fulfilling life. The book gives the reader the tools to live the meaningful life. Sharma gives some great advice and teaches the reader to truly analyze one's current life as well as the life one can live. He teaches us to: eliminate negative thoughts and think positive thoughts, live the life you were meant to live, develop self discipline, value your time and nourish your relationships, and truly live the fullest life you can, one day at a time. At first read it can feel overwhelming to take on the lifestyle he encourages. However, he teaches us how to break it down into pieces and take baby steps towards living this amazing and fulfilling life. There are great summaries at the end of each chapter that nicely outline each lesson and technique. I highly recommend this for anyone and everyone.
I loved it. I definitely wish I read this book about a year ago, but better now than never. This is a great book. This book is great for anyone that is stuck in business or in a relationship. Thinking about quitting something? Not thinking about quitting but should be? The Dip teaches you when to quit and when to stick with it. It's a quick read and well worth it.
This was a sad and depressing novel. I wanted to stop reading it a bunch of times, but kept on reading for some reason. Probably because this got high ratings and she’s got several top selling books out now. I did like the ending. I may read one or two of her other books, but not until next year. The little girl, Izzy in the book was so darn cute. And, I was rooting for a happy ending for the protagonist, Annie.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, both professionally and personally. I was a tea drinker. Now I'm a more enlightened tea drinker. It makes me want to sit dow with a cup of Rooibos tea and write a business plan for my favorite business idea!
