The wonderful world of mathematics -- it's history, failures and successes leading to the world as we know it. If you think a book on mathematics is dull and would be over your head, think again. I'm not saying this book is an easy read but the author makes the material palatable and easy to digest.

I'm a sucker for just about anything cyberpunk so the book that's often credited as having created the genre has naturally been on my TBR list for a while. Even within a genre like cyberpunk that tends to be very cynical and often abrasive, Neuromancer is definitely not for everyone. A friend of mine described it as "thoroughly unwelcoming" and I kinda love that description. Gibson just drops you into his bleakly predictive sci-fi world without bothering to explain how anything works and expects you, the reader, to do the heavy lifting and figure things out. This makes it a very challenging read, no doubt and I'd be lying if I said I understood everything (or even most things) that happened. I don't want to make it sound as if I disliked it though. It's incredibly unique with engaging characters at the center of its heist plot. The worldbuilding is very strong and is undeniably ahead of its time considering how much cyberpunk as a genre relies on ideas this book effectively created. I just find it to be a very difficult book to recommend.

A story about 4 generations of women. Running a construction company, renovating a book store, dealing with past traumas and addictions. And falling in love. It was an ok read.

An excellent book, well written and kept the reader engaged. It was sad, touching, and would be labeled a mystery crime thriller of sorts. Talk about unearthing a truth, this was definitely in the category.

Disappointing and predictable. It is obvious from the first few chapters. It makes the book hard to enjoy. Virtually no characters to root for. This is only a debut novel, so I am hoping to read more from this author and see the storytelling improve.

A well-written accounting of the American colonies and the struggles they went through to gain independence from British rule. As a staunch patriot, John Adams played a pivotal role in many altercations and fights against British parliament and their tax levies against the Americans.. Abigail Adams is seen to have been very bright and resourceful and a constant force in her husband's corner. The book is full of details about their daily lives in and out of Boston.

A brother and sister drag their families to a not very resort-like, resort in Wisconsin. Courtney spends a post-sleepover morning with her daughter and her niece, then sends her niece back to her cottage next door. Mae runs back with blood on her hands, so Courtney goes to see what's happened and finds her brother and sister-in-law dead. Their daughter Reese is missing. The story is told from two points of view ; Courtney and Reese. From Courtney's side we get the side-effects of the murder. She is desperate to find Reese. Reese's point of view story starts on the drive and leads up to the murders and tells of her attraction to the older, 24 year old custodian of the resort, Daniel. Hard to guess who did it so theis psychological thriller is a fast page -turner

A great book for succession fans , this story is about a group of siblings who have to play a high stakes game to win the family fortune.

First and foremost this book is fiction and not true-crime. That being said, this book is written as a series of interviews designed to reveal the story of the Sharaf family. These interviews are not two way conversations, they are just the observations of the many many different voices that speak out. You will hear from friends, family, neighbors, school personnel, even people that have only crossed paths with the family once are included. What happened with the Sharaf family? Well, you'll have to read the book to find out.

Great Book! Slow read at first but then got very interesting.
