Button Man: A Novel | Andrew Gross
post image
Pickpick

Wow. Wow. Wow!! I saw this book at Goodwill and waivered over buying it (for a whopping $2.99 lol). It sounded interesting, but I have a pile of books on my TBR stack to get through. Well, my Aunt saw through that lame excuse and bought it for me, and I‘m so glad she did! I loved this story of the Rabishevsky brothers - this was a total page turner that I didn‘t want to put down. What other Andrew Gross books should I read? I‘m hooked now!

Aims42 Themes: 20th Century New York City (1905-1992), Mobsters, Coming of Age stories 11mo

Everyone was wired last night, so finishing my book was a lost cause. I spent today making some epic ramen. I‘m now hoping to sit down and finish this one. I‘m still counting it as my last of 2021.

Amandajoy @monalyisha my husband picked me up from work today and I‘m pretty sure I saw it in the backseat. I‘ll confirm and take a picture later this evening. 3y

BookNAround As a former competitive swimmer (15 years), I‘d say always take two books. 😁 Hope your swimmer swims fast. 3y

I should‘ve DNF-ed this after 100 pages. 🙄 Its one ⭐️ is for the cover. The writing is just…bad. I skimmed most of it hoping it would redeem itself at the end, but it was somehow worse! Ugh.

BookishMarginalia That‘s disappointing! 3y
GirlNamedJesse @BookishMarginalia Yeah, I was really looking forward to it! It was just…not good. The characters feel like cookie cutter cutouts, the world was very abrupt and unbelievable, and the end was just eye-roll inducing. It could‘ve been so good. :( 3y

Gatsby says “Get that book out of your lap. I‘m coming in.” Since I finished a book this weekend, why not add a new one to the in progress pile?! Wouldn‘t want that number to drop at all or anything. 😂

AutumnRLS Gatsby! I've missed you! Sabi and Ginger both crossed the Rainbow Bridge this year. We adopted Taco and she's helping with the heartache. She's a black and silver mini and gosh is she a handful! 4y
MemoirsForMe Gatsby is gorgeous! 💕 4y

Really enjoyed this book. Ready to dig into the next in the series. It‘s is fast and pitch-dark neo-noir, a tale of mobsters and magicians in the demon-haunted underworld of Las Vegas. Great stuff.

I've been so eager to read this since the cover got revealed. It doesn't have the best rating on GoodReads but I'm hoping it's just people under appreciating it
