3 stars A quick, fun read. The tone of this book is very conversational. It’s rambling and random and is often interrupted by semi-related tangents. But that makes it no less of a fun journey. This book is like talking to a close friend who happens to be quite witty and also famous.The jokes range…

3 stars I spent my whole childhood having never read this book solely because I owned a VHS of a film version, which was horribly dark and, to my young mind, violent and scary. I was finally brave enough to tackle the book.Overall, the book was good. There were many interesting stories throughout the book…

4 stars I was very excited to read this book, and while I believe it was very well written, I can’t help but be a little disappointed.The thing I hated about the first book was the whole beginning was so slow. But once it got going, I was hooked. This one was much better in…

4 stars This is an amazing set of stories. I will admit that I did not have very high expectations for this book, but it definitely surpassed them all by far.The stories are well written and interesting. I also enjoyed Dumbledore’s analyses and stories after each tale. It was also fun to be able to…

4 stars A great continuation of the series.

3 stars A very informative and humorous read.Instead of focusing on vocabulary, this book gives a lot of conversational phrases to use in different situations. This made reading it much more interesting. Wex also includes many personal stories, which helps to make the text easier to read and comprehend. The book is broken up into…

4 stars I received this book from Booklikes in exchange for an honest review. Like many of the other reviewers for this book, I liked it but have no idea what to make of it.At first, I just wasn’t into it. Ben’s ideas were too vaguely philosophical to interest me and I thought he was…

3 stars   I received a copy of this book from Goodreads’ First Reads in exchange for an honest review.This was a difficult book to review. The first portion of the book relays some of Lobert’s experiences in the sex industry under her alias, Fallen. This portion was intensely powerful as it helps dispell many…

2 stars I received a copy of this book through Goodreads’ First Reads in exchange for an honest review. I really hate leaving bad reviews, but this book and I just did not get along. I respect the author’s ability to use world-building to survive in a mentally abusive marriage and am thankful that she…

3 stars I received this book from Bookriot in exchange for a honest review. My favorite thing about this book is how varied it is. At the same time that is also what I dislike about the book, but for the most part, it works as an advantage. For starters, because it’s so varied I…
