Stephen King - The Long Walk (2025-04-27)

Written as Richard Bachman

★★★☆☆

Liane Moriarty - Truly Madly Guilty

Friday, April 25, 2025, 12:00 AM

Liane Moriarty - Truly Madly Guilty (2025-04-25)

Narrated by: Caroline Lee
Length: 17 hrs and 31 mins

Time	Bookmark [~sic]
01:17:45	I just feel like I can't engineer today
01:43:06	not want for much...
02:00:21	having children
12:02:50	Trying to get kids to eat foods
15:26:24	didn't cry doesn't mean doesn't feel

I don’t like when suspense is driven by something bad happening to a kid. Whether they live or die. It’s successful at being suspenseful but not enjoyably!

★★★★☆

James McBride - The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store

James McBride - The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store (2025-04-18)

Narrated by: Dominic Hoffman
Length: 12 hrs and 21 mins

Ignoring everything else, why was there a sudden aside about the evils of cell phones and technologies. And the end rant about racisms, etc, while more fitting, was still out of place.

★★☆☆☆: Everyone else seemed to love it. I could pass

★★★★☆

2 Stars. What attracted me to this book was the ridiculousness and how books can easily enable that. I wanted to see how the author tackled this odd idea. I would say mediocre at best... First half: Fine. Not as interesting as I had hoped but still fine. I had hoped that this was a new things, not a well understood condition, and we'd get to see the evolution of that. 50%-80% Disjointed and kind of boring. On it's own it would be fine but not much together. 80-95. Annoying. 95-100 Horrible. (SPOILER): The whole pregnancy felt forced and horrific. Did they sleep together? That actually would have been interesting to read about! in the first half!
