This book is a great start to preserving your health overall and gives practical tips to stay in shape no matter your age. It's written well and is easy to understand for all types of people. Give this book a go and I'll guarantee you will learn something out of it.
The book gave a good introduction to privacy concerns with big tech companies to those who are unfamiliar with this topic. However, I wish there were more examples from countries in the Global South and went more in depth about how people from developing nations are exploited into the development of technologies from the Global North.
I definitely recommend this book for everyone so they know how to advocate for themselves when they're at the hospital. There are plenty if useful tips you can implement in your next hospital visit for different cases whether you're at the emergency unit or elsewhere.
Honestly, this book fell short of expectations and I stopped reading after the second chapter. I heard her other books a try so I'll give her a second chance in the future.
What a beautiful and heartbreaking story. I wish that I read this book much sooner especially that I'm a huge fan of historical fiction and women's fiction.
The premise and the beginning of this novel were extremely promising, but the middle part of the book fell flat to me. The character development was imbalanced, and I wish there was more to the story from the other family members who were affected by these people's affairs. Still, the ending was decent enough for me to finish.
I love how poetic and elegant this graphic memoir is. I especially appreciated the black and white abstract drawings and the simplicity of the words on the page. This is one of the best memoirs I've read this year, and dare I say of all time. Keep being yourself, Pierre XO. I'll miss you when you're officially gone.
Rating: 4.5 stars
I'm a big fan of this book and while I'm into social justice, I haven't considered intersectional environmentalism into my advocacy work. I appreciate how they discuss white supremacy in climate change conversations but wish there was more in-depth analysis on sustainable fashion, ethical fashion, and technology. Still, I appreciate being recommended this book by mytbr.co and look forward to reading more about this topic.
I love reading this memoir because it shows the humanity in doctors and learning from their mistakes to be a better doctor and human overall.
Honestly, I'm glad that I read this memoir and found it entertaining and amusing. It's light-hearted compared to the other memoirs that I've read and I can see why Patricia is ahead of her time in the fashion world. However, I wished there was more insight but nevertheless, a straightforward read.
I was thrilled to read this book because of the title and the cover art. I like how the world building allows the main character and everyone else to explore different parts of the world. However, the character development and the plot could've been better executed for me to truly enjoy this book.
I was captivated by this book from start to finish. I'm glad that Carvell Wallace was able to break the cycle and that they healed from the abuse they encountered in their life.
The #MeToo Effect highlights barriers women like myself face from being survivors of abuse, especially sexual abuse. The fact that survivors of sexual abuse are deemed lesser than is absolutely incredulous and shows the cracks in the justice systems in the United States. Though I never reported my cases with sexual assault from my first relationship, it wouldn't have gone well anyway seeing how Chanel Miller and others who came forward didn't have a satisfactory outcome.
To be honest, I haven't followed the #MeToo movement, but I'm glad that this book kept me up to speed from an academic perspective. Though the #MeToo movement centers a lot of experiences surrounding sexual abuse from women, this is also for nonbinary people and men.
The book introduced precision and data science in a way that can be understood by those already interested in data science and breaks down data science concepts extremely well. However, it would be better if the book explained these concepts in a more accessible way to those outside of data science and big data, and approached this topic with a new angle. That being said, it's still a great introduction to people for learning about the applications of data science in various industries.
The book was relatively straightforward on maintaining good financial health and shows a step-by-step plan, which is practical and useful.
I couldn't put down this memoir and read this in a few days. Honestly, I'm glad that Aomawa stuck with both acting and astronomy in varying capacities and got tenure as a professor. It's difficult being one of the few women of color in a STEM field dominated by men, speaking from personal experience. While I come from another STEM field like Computer Science, Aomawa, wrote her memoir that intricately intertwines astronomy, science communication, motherhood, social justice, and her personal life in her memoir.
Some of the stories were interesting but the memoir felt all over the place and redundant a lot of the time. I wonder what his poetry is like because this looks like he's not used to writing longer works.
Highly recommend reading this book if you want to know about the history of autism and how Nazi eugenicists like Hans Asperger pioneered the research of autism psychopathy and keeping the ‘high-functioning' autistics alive while sending the ‘low-functioning' autistics to their death in concentration camps. I also want to note that this book does an excellent work of introducing the shifts of research in autism and how it manifests in boys versus girls. If you want to learn more about eugenics pertaining to neurodivergent folks, I recommend you read this at least once in your lifetime. While this book mainly discusses autism, the author also talks briefly about how ADHD came to be in the DSM manual.
Updated review:
This book has single-handedly encouraged me to learn more about the history of autism in Nazi Germany and gain more insights of historical autism research. It's appalling to read about the war crimes committed by members of the Nazi Party and the Third Reich, not to mention the millions of lives lost due to the Second World War. I'm glad my mom gave me this book so that I can read it and now thanks to this book, I'm conducting research about autism and friendships.
Rating: 2.5 stars
I wish the book was much shorter because it got repetitive. It had an interesting premise but the execution was just okay.
I love the vibe and the short length of the poems. It reminds of the poems in Milk and honey by Rupi Kaur and I got sense that's where some of Sophie's inspiration comes from. Anyway, I'm dying to read her future works and will eagerly wait for her upcoming releases.
This book was an entertaining read, and it was my first novel from her that I read. The characters were pretty interesting, and I was on my toes trying to figure out what happened with the dad. I can't wait to hear more of her works.
The book was a let-down based on the summary that I read and seeing the cover. I didn't like the world building of the book and the writing felt obnoxious to me. I stopped after around 77 pages.
Thank you, mytbr.co, for recommending this book. While I have some background about psychology, this book has further developed my knowledge in human psychology and showcases phenomena like why people believe in conspiracy theories, misinformation, and the correlation between religiosity and believing in the paranormal. It's quite interesting to see how some people still believe in vaccines, causing autism and autistic people being more likely to just focus on the physical world as opposed to the paranormal. I would love to see more helpful research about autism in the future, but so far, well done. I hope more people read this book because it's underrated.
