I listened to this and it was super cleaver and easy summer read.

Interesting take on living our world as if it were a game- and the obsessions that come from that.

Interesting history of this smart kid that really needed some positive adult influences.

Good book but I'm baffled by the choices the people make. It was hard to understand why they chose the path they did. Our book club was mixed about this book.

Wow is all I can say- this was unexpectedly hard to put down. Great book to dive into but super disturbing.

Good summer read- especially if you miss the Venice beach, Santa Monica life!

Fast and entertaining! Great spy book. It does help if you are familiar with the Allon backstory but not crucial.

Interesting in depth look at what it means to be a part of a Tribe- or more interestingly, how our modern life is depriving us of a sense of belonging. While I've not been to war - it wasn't hard to apply the concepts and research to my life.

Great read! I also agree with others that having the paper book is helpful vs kindle due to all the illustrations. Even though I'm not single and dating, I found the book fascinating, lots of interesting information on how technology has changed our society. Plus aziz is hilarious!!!

Very accurate portrayal of living a life with weight issues. I wanted a few more details and a more robust ending. But if I'm being honest- the ending was perfect for the character. Worth reading if you are interested in how women deal with self image.

Great book to get lost in over the weekend. Well written, interesting characters and a story that won't let you put it down.
