Can't wait to jump in!

The concept of being locked in is extremely terrifying. But... keeping my meatsack body safely in a room while having a humanoid robotic personal transport unit controlled by my brain running around in the world sounds like a good idea. Such a good idea. Let's get our top men on this!

I love that he avoids mentioning race and gender when it comes to certain characters in this book, and does so without making a scene or marketing the book as such.

The pacing was great and while there was always something happening, I found myself not really caring about the outcome. Every time I started feeling something for Nailer, he did something that made me dislike him again. I must give the author credit for doing a great job of letting you forget that you're reading about kids and then reminding you of the fact through a very simple and childish act. Definitely not a bad book, just not for me.

While this is no American Gods, it sure was a fun read. The characters were all interesting and cool, but I only really started caring about them near the end, and even then it was more of “oh, I hope things work out okay for them.” Beautifully written, I wish I couldn‘t compare this to American Gods so easily, but I kept getting the feeling of “American Gods: Lite.”

So much fun! In this volume there is less action but more hanging out with Scott and his friends. I‘m definitely not complaining - I enjoyed it a lot. I‘m still in awe of O'Malley‘s artwork - he can take two identical frames, change a single line and the entire mood as well as your understanding of the world they live in changes. Very cool.

This book broke our baby. He vibrates every time we pick it up and screeches on every page turn. 5 Drool covered stars.

Liam absolutely loves this book. He does this weird inhaling-laugh thing and can‘t get enough of the pictures. For added enjoyment, we call Larry “Toast” - the name of our dog. Something that makes the book extra special for us is that we've visited every single one of the places in San Francisco that Larry visits. So cool!

Look, I'm never going to go full KonMarie. Probably because I'm afraid of success. However, I did find the book very helpful as I struggle to get rid of stuff even though I try to acquire and surround myself with fewer things.

I wasn‘t familiar with Pizzolatto until I watched the best television of all time, True Detective season 1. Multiple times. Galveston wasn‘t TD, but I still loved it. The pacing felt slow but deliberate - if it wasn‘t, the structure probably would‘ve fallen flat and a lot of the nuance lost. I loved the fact that Roy, from the looks of it your typical anti-hero, performs his biggest act of heroism in one of the most unexpected but impressive ways.

O'Malley does so much with so little. A single pencil line can change an emotion and make a huge difference to the panel and overall story. A subtle statement or reaction in one panel literally changes the way you see the world and characters he created. On the one hand you have all of this, and on the other a fun and action packed story. Recommended!

Yes, in a perfect world I would‘ve loved to be friends with Amy. Some more information on the early years of UCB and the Parks & Recreation period would‘ve been great, but like with a good friend being perfect isn‘t that important when you‘re having fun together. I‘m glad I read a physical copy as all the extras like the scanned documents, photo‘s and “posters" added some value to the reading experience.

The best.

Michael Chabon is my favourite author and I was really curious to try Summerland. Chabon's language, metaphor and characters are the things I love most about him and I wasn't sure how it will be used in a book written for a younger audience. Although it was obvious he isn't a children's author, his language was a joy to read, his metaphor only obvious a while after reading it and I enjoyed every character I met.

I was looking forward to meeting Mr. Empty (what a great character name!) and he did not disappoint. But man, Kiri stole the show!

Maybe this wasn‘t the right book at the right time for me. I liked it and got a lot of value out of the developing grit in children chapter, but parts of the book felt repetitive and as a result I never really felt motivated to pick it up and read more. This is not a bad book at all and I really want to revisit it in the future.

Loved it. Leviathan Wakes‘ noir was exchanged for more politics but luckily the space opera elements just got more space opera-y and we got some horror thrown in as well. I still get pretty damn upset when people shoot at the Rocinante because it is the perfect spaceship.
