Absolutely brilliant with one of the most horrific depictions of a killing ever written down. Really just an astonishing book

Incredibly detailed, usually very interesting, and somewhat dated.

An incredible, epic love letter to Catherine Deneuve and all things considered “foreign.” A book I will recommend to anyone and everyone, especially cinephiles (but no background in film necessary)

So brilliant and incredibly insightful. A must read

Fantastic. I only wish that this was a book they made us read in school

A masterpiece, albeit an exhausting read

Fantastic, stylistically daring, and very heartfelt

A wrenching and profoundly readable novella about longing and lost time, space, and experiences. I‘m sure I‘ll come back to this book again and again, if I can bear it

Incredibly sad and bleak, but an interesting history of Austria

A fantastic collection by one of my favorites. Glad I finally took it off the shelf and read it!

Bleak and incredibly well-detailed. Highly recommend

In the genre of sad gay Bildungsroman, this definitely is among the absolute best. Highly recommend

Fantastic and comprehensive biography of a Jimmy Carter. Gives a new appreciation for the long lived former President and humanitarian; as well as of the 70s

Heartbreaking, funny, terrifying, nauseating, and sweet

Profound and life-altering. A book that redefines your surroundings

Great read.

Brilliant to reread

Quite good.

Truly phenomenal. Cho Nam-Joo is going to take over the world with this book. Very fast read, but you won‘t be able to put it down. It‘s like an ethnography mixed with a thriller mixed with a “””domestic””” novel

A stunning find. Truly one of the greatest novels of all time. Instant classic; outrageously funny, stunningly queer, heart-wrenching and shocking! Ah!!!

It was fine.

Very insightful and thought provoking. Good public policy read

Brilliant but im too tired to write a full review

Incredible. A love letter to New York, both a paean and vicious critique for materialism, a skin care guide, a romance, a tragedy, a savage takedown and nuanced guide to globalism, a comedy, a critique and microcosm of religion and patriarchy. “Why I left New York” for the Coronavirus era

Really just incredibly amazing and inspiring. A true leader for a more gracious time. Also, a very readable book for everyone from the uninformed to experts. Deeply human, as well.

Eminently confusing, brutally well written, somewhat incomprehensible

A beautiful, warming little book that has the cathartic effect of crying. Incredibly and impeccably translated. You just know you‘ll read it again one day, as if with an old friend

WOW. WOWOWOW. This book reignites all of fiction. Brilliant beyond words. Just READ IT!

A sad disappointment. The first book inspired pathos, while this was just pathetic

A smart little book with many intriguing digressions

One of the most terrifying and upsetting books I‘ve ever read. Absolutely genius. Will never forget it. Reached into my soul and tore it to pieces. You can literally feel the lies and evil vibrating throughout this book

Pretty repulsive (I read this in English, ignore the fact that the blurb is in Spanish)

Wow

A brilliant history of Greece and conceptions of nationhood in modernity. Highly recommend.

Brilliant and devastating. The best of the trilogy

I forgot I read this charming book until now, very lovely

Beautiful. Took me a few dozen pages, but then I understood the hype

Completely changed my views on humanity

Life-altering science fiction. Worth the hype, and then some!

This book will haunt me for the rest of my life. Will recommend it to everyone that asks.

Fucking brilliant and terrifying.

One of my favorites ever.

Heartbreaking.

Not good.

Wow.

Ok.

Life altering.

Interesting. Occasionally boring.

Fucking spectacular.

Interesting.
