Enjoyed, heavy on history from another perspective of Japanese American finding his way to a job as military civilian intelligence. Fun listening while cruising around the island and looking at the now while listening to the then.

Happy Easter. Although there were days skipped, it has been a good lenten season. Better than last year, always growing and improving.

"Mathamatics is the extension of common sense by other means" Nerd alert. Yes, this is a book talking all about math. I absolutely enjoyed the first quarter of the book using math to understand things. By the second half, I think I had too much math details with topics of proba ility and theories of relativity.

Enjoyed this story audio and appropriate lenten season timing.

Loved this perspective of history including not only about hawaiian history, but also the mainland west of Wyoming and of course rodeo and cowboys (or paniolo)

Good to get some attention on female anatomy topics. It was however, very dense. Pretty sure I fell asleep a couple different times during this book.

Always enjoy Kevin Kwan's and the dramas of these Asian billionaires. (Even though I don't typically care for sopopera, reality dramas)

Well written and good keeping it nutrual non political opion. Enjoyed the first half, learning some of the history more than the mass shooting and survivor stories. But overall, well done.

Interesting, exciting, well written. Enjoyed the science themes and knowledge along with the criminal thrill. Great story, can't make something like that up (which it happens to be based on true events).

It was ok, but didn't really capture my complete interest, as I found myself reading other things instead of this. I Got about 1/3 way through before the library loan expired. Not planning to renew or finish. Hope I didn't miss something more spectacular later on.

Well done. Was skeptical at first. But it had me emotionally vested and deep thought-provoking by the end.

Very much enjoyed. Keep you interested and trying to figure it out until the end.

Pretty good. Agreed and disagreed. Overall, some great points, but nothing too ground breaking. Preferred the first book.

Fantastic modern history with historical content and accurate analysis of the INDO Pacific area. Even though the book is nearly 10 years old, it provides such great information, and many topics discussed have/are happening or still relevant. A lot of information and history, but well done.

Wanted to like this book, which kept getting high recommendations to read. Took me a long time to get through starting and stopping it, but kept hearing good reviews and thought it had to get better. Maybe too detail oriented for me, and frustrating to read. Understand the sympathy and good awareness for mental illness, but hard for me to stay engaged. Probably could cut the word count in half and I might have enjoyed it more.

It was mostly funny, and the audio version was
Good hearing Tina Fey read. Didn't joy all promotional lines (people and vendors to purchase products) and a lot of recap of shows we've already seen. Overall, decent easy listen, providing a number of laughs along the way.

Not a fan. Started ok and some interesting thoughts but wasn't intrested in her life personal or self discovery, which, midway through the book began to feel like an individual self proclaimed new age wisdom self help book.

Wow. Incredible. How these men made it though nearly 2 years of Antarctic disastrous expedition is amazing. Exceptional leadership and human ability to endure beyond belief.

Some laugh out loud funny moments, and decent listen while for multi tasking, background, but wouldn't have invested time to read or finish the audio on its own.

Didn't finish, but I wouldn't say bailed, but probably not likely to pick it back up. It is really interesting and well written about some of the post WWII atomic bomb and missile testing sites on little atolls including Kwajalein, bikini, and Rongelap making up part of the marshal island. Although not widely known in our history education, it has been, and still is a major piece of our history.

Started great with many laughs. The second half was still OK, but a bit repetitive and mild less interested.
" the key to a good life is not giving a fuck to more, its giving a fuck about less"

Especially enjoyed the former first Lady reading this book to me.

Always appreciate how much research rebecca solnit puts into her work. This one had a few catchy points but not my favorite book of hers, still academically good of womens studies.

Good! Immersive audio drama, literally felt everything. Trigger warning with sensitive subjects including war scenes and sexual assault/rape. None the less important story to be told. (Book not in litsy collection)

I was a fan of eat pray love. But 10%... 20%... into the book and it wasn't catching my interest.... after getting about 50% through the book, realized I didn't care about finishing it. Stopped listening and over a week went by without giving it a thought until the library due date reminder came in.

Finally back in a book and one waiting on the shelve for some time. I really did enjoy this book although nothing in particular, and even most of the trial seemed very extreme. Any case, it was a good read and now I can watch the movie version.

So good. Quick airplane read, although not my favorite place to get little teary-eyed. Related with with this author and story from everything to H mart shaping centers, Seoul, geography of the book, sense if place, parental death, generational significants more than the word, 'millennial'.

Didn‘t know anything about this book, but wasn‘t what I expected. This was a graphic novel based on true story of a serial killer in Paris. Read it as a digital copy and probably would have been better as hard copy read to appreciate the graphics better.

Obviously not a “fun” read. Informational read. Dealing some difficult relationships. This book had some valid points and some I couldn‘t help but relate to. Gave me some things to think about as I start a new chapter and practice some self care.

Super short audio, under 2 hours. It was ok, as the author mentioned in the intro, this book was originally not meant to be read by other but as an expression for the author to get his thoughts out for himself. enjoyed other books by this author much more than this one.

Enjoyed this audiobook!

Preferred Rich peoples problems then crazy rich Asians over this one. However, still enjoyed this book. Actually it‘s technically the first of the series, so there was some interesting background to characters of the other two books.

This like other sports/athlete written books is not the best. But as a soccer (and sports) fan I do like to follow some athletes, which includes reading their books... some interesting parts, but overall nothing new in this books like isn‘t already known if you follow women‘s soccer at all. Wasn‘t expecting much with this one, but defiantly not too impressed.

Love the message about finding exercises you enjoy and healthy lifestyles that suits you rather than fad dieting and comparing individual body types with extra slim model images. Good exercise and food ideas. However, book felt very repetitive and writing style more robotic and mildly interesting to read.

One of my surprisingly favorite movies (crazy rich Asians) a few years ago was a book written by Kevin Kwan. Well I found an audiobook of another one of his books, Rich People Problems. Absolutely enjoyed this book making me laugh but also very geographic, historic, and culturally accurate.

Great adventurer, art/artifact collection history, and indigenous perspective of Indopacific and especially within Borneo.

Makes you think about how you invest and look at different perspectives. I‘m not getting rid of my 401ks any time soon, but definitely some food for thought.

When I travel I like to read something about where I‘m going, something that is not a travel guide. I enjoyed the authors writing style and context of her experiences as a sex worker for the prince of Brunei. It was good/ok.... but Probably not a book I would recommend to most.

Picked up several years ago, I believe at an airport. Read maybe a few chapters.... picked it back up this year to finish. A bit slow but fascinating bit of history and medical geography. (Original form of what we now call contact tracing)

Living in South Korea for a short time and with military experiences, this book provided “local” perspective and historic context in a fictional way to many things accurate about my experiences. Sad but eye opening. Hope thing improve and this book provides perspective to those unfamiliarly with some of the “influences” American culture has forced on other countries impacted.

Slow fairly scientific start but very interesting to me who studies human geography and geographic information systems. It was fascinating how combining very different studies could lead to great recent discoveries of lost cities. Also interesting ending related to disease spread such as effected us all recently.

Took a while for me to finished this book but sure glad I did. Very interesting to learn insight from different perspectives and life styles.

Great story, follow your dreams and be open to opportunities as they come up that might be presented in a slightly different course than originally thought.

Barely knew of this musician but listened to it after a tough semester of grad courses and loved it. Highly recommend the audio version, with the artist reading her own book and singing selected songs between chapters, this made it special, more personal and more real.

Good read of pic and comparison between tweeds vs images.

So good. Motivational. Read during my winter trip at Joshua tree. Endurance athlete and Navy Seal talking though his struggles to overcome his mind, body, and past to endure though everything he does though hard work and dedication to push himself to do the best he can be and push himself to the limits. Ready for the new year!

Picked this book from the library‘s front picks without knowing anything about it. Ended up being a good based on true events about a young Arab American finding his self and his passion after serval attempts. Although I was already somewhat familiar with the process of coffee trees, cherries, drying and roasting, it differently make you appreciate your morning coffee reading about all the struggles and dangers of getting our coffee to our mug.

Good quick read. Page turning story and short enough for me to finish in one afternoon at the pool. Interesting concept.

Wanted to like it but could have done without reading.

Great illustrations, nostalgic story and drawing of childhood imagination and invention. Will read this to the kids.
