Caridactyl
Sleeping Giants | Sylvain Neuvel

"It pains me to say it, but I've always been thoroughly bewildered by North Korea. They cannot be threatened, as they feel themselves superior to the one making the threat. They cannot be reasoned with, and most importantly, they are 100 percent convinced of their righteousness, so they cannot be bought. Megalomaniacs with delusions of grandeur are notoriously difficult to handle, but how generations of them can follow one another is beyond me."

Caridactyl I don't mean for this quote to misrepresent this book. It's amazing and not political, except as a result of actions within the amazing story. But reading this quote gave some chills in regards to eerie similarities to home right now. 8y

After some "really not my thing" books I've forced myself through so far this year, I am super digging this book. A pleasure to read and very intriguing.

Best opening to a book, probably ever.

So excited for book 5. This is such a great series and it will be a great read to pass some time on my way from Minnesota to Germany via Iceland.

bookishkai Oooh, you've got yours! I won't get my copy until next week, a friend and I are going to his author event, I'm SO excited (yes, I'm a middle aged fangirl). 8y

John Cleese was well cast as Nearly Headless Nick. It's a nice face to picture when reading his scenes.

A lot steeper learning curve, but intriguing world building/premise, and just enough action to keep me going.

Reading 'new to the shelves' is always fun! Thanks for the recommendation @Liberty and Rebecca! #bookriot #allthebooks

ChasingOm I'm still looking for a good site that can tell me what's being published in the upcoming month... 🤔 8y
Caridactyl It's not preemptive, but at least current, is @Liberty and Rebecca's All The Books podcast every Tuesday for new releases that week. It's where I go for new recommendations. 8y

Fantastic in not following any cliches, or shying away from reality. Bring a box of Kleenex for the second half.

There is so much amazing knowledge bestowed in this book I get only a few pages in at a time before feeling inspired and as if I need some processing time before moving on. Longest continuous time I've spent reading a book in a long time! So good!!
