“Well, this is really 2022 on Goodreads, but I can’t seem to locate that no matter how I search. I found it yesterday, but GR
“What a tough read. It’s an interesting bit of history, seeing how Japanese forces were living and fighting. And this is a great example of
“Well, this kind of breaks away from my normal rule against reading about super-small subcultures. You know, those books about professional Scrabble players or guys
“Well, this project, begun in October 2020, has been completed! Er, well, I finished one step in my 2020 project. Ah, October 2020. What a
“Well, this should be popular… I think it’s fair to point out that I got about 20% of the way through this book before I
“Well. There’s a guy named Shoemaker. And there’s a report. And, as the parenthesis indicate, there are space aliens. So I guess I can’t complain
“Well…here’s the thing, the writing is absolutely wonderful. It’s really great stuff. But the story is harder to follow than my non-signaling, weaving uncle is
“Well…I gave up. I bought the audio for 30-some dollars and figured it might be a great listen. But I find myself dreading listening. Part
“Well…sometimes I like how Sandman works, and sometimes it’s like, everything is dreams, so anything can happen or not happen, and that doesn’t leave a
“Well.I have mixed feelings.The book is a fun read, no doubt. If you like Petey Wheatstraw, this is about as close as a book is
“welllllll…I think a lot of discussion about this book regards the authenticity of its depictions. I’m of the opinion that, as that goes, you can
“What a delight! Although I feel bad for poor Bigfoot.You know what I don’t like? That new cryptids, like Slenderman, have a known creator. That’s
“What a fantastic book. I’m so disappointed in myself that I’m only getting to King in my mid-30’s, but I’m making up for lost time.
“What a great example of comic book plotting. The impossible happens. Something that I DON’T want to happen happens. And the story works. It’s great.
“What a great, big pile of shit! Let’s be clear, I fully expected a great, big pile of shit. I read it for that specific
“Well, this ended EXACTLY where I wish it would have started, with Tony Stark suiting up and heading into space. Of course. Goddamn it. Why
“Well, I finished, and overall, this is a 5-star series for me. It’s weirdly not life-changing or super heavy or anything like that, but it’s
“Well, I hated it. It’s kind of hard to say that because of the book’s subject matter. It makes me feel like I’m saying the
“Well, I managed to clear a room of four women talking about this. Twice. Two DIFFERENT sets of women. So that’s a sign regarding how
“Well, if you like trippy, life of the mind shit, this is probably your jam. I do not like trippy, life of the mind shit.
“Well, it’s a pretty damn thorough book about Castlevania. I don’t know what to say about it other than it delivers exactly what it promises.

“Well, I’ve seen some…interesting takes on this. I think mine has some to do with creativity. I do think we have traded curiosity and exploration
“Well, my Kirkmania for this year, after last year’s final reckoning with Walking Dead, was Invincible, and it was another solid ride. This is a
“Well, pretty great. It’s like…how do I describe something as pulpy, but in a 90’s way? If you can read this with an appreciation for
“Well, probably the worst joke book ever.“What’s Yellow and Lights Up?” is not a joke when the answer is “An electric peanut.” Another favorite?“What’s Yellow
“Well, the first story was great! It was more World War Z than Night of the Living Dead. Or, perhaps more accurately, Land of the
“Well, the parts that were good were GREAT. And the parts that weren’t as good were super not as good. Wow. With reviews like that,
“Well, the tree grows very slowly and with exhaustive detail. Couldn’t get through this one. Actually, that’s not entirely true. I could have. And I
“Well, there are a couple different things I’ve read about this book. 1. Reviews along the lines of “Nobody writes through the mind of a
“Very short, but really good expression of friend love. Platonic love? I don’t know. I can’t really describe it, and besides, the author does it
“Well, after just talking about how people put too much emphasis on endings, I have to say the ending on this one let me down
“Vikings V. Aliens. I just read this: “Viking teeth were often subject to a great deal of wear, which is largely attributed to their diet.
“Well, honesty time. I’m reading this series in one of those huge tomes that has 5 books slapped together into one slab. A slapslab, if
“Vol 0 is definitely a favorite where this one was less favorite of favorites. But Howard’s reproductive partner clone (it’s complicated) is adorable, and there’s
“Wait, wait, wait. This is ALSO a time travel thing! Sort of! What the fuck, Marvel!? I thought we talked about time travel. I guess
“Wait…what? That’s my two-word (and four punctuation marks) review of Multiversity. Grant Morrison definitely doesn’t care whether readers follow the thread sometimes. And that’s cool.

“We all know how I feel about half stars (for anyone whoâs new here: silly and unnecessary). I just saw a rating for this book
“We get Slimer, more Gozer, and Marshmallow Man? I mean, this is like Star Wars 7, a lot of the same. I never even saw
“Wearing a skin suit and walking among the dead kind of makes sense. It’s gross, but…it probably prevents you from having to kill people most
“Weird. But good weird. If you donât have a weird artsy friend, Lisa Hanawalt would make a good fill-in via her books. But if you
“Weird. Kinda sloppy. I would like to share something I learned in a creative writing class. One time I wrote this story. It was all
“Weird. Not a spoiler because it’s how the volume begins, but what you should know is that Doctor Octopus has put his mind into the
“Weirder than expected.It’s an interesting artifact, to be sure. I didn’t read the whole thing. Part way through I decided that I was enjoying skimming
“Well holy shit. If you like bleak books and minimalist writing, hit this one. As a challenge to my fellow readers: A minimalist book that
“Well shit.I thought I had this all figured out between a few library services and I could read a pretty good arc. But it turns
“Two factors in my favor here. 1. This book is by ANSON Montgomery, not R.A. (raging alcoholic, I assume). Maybe Anson is more reasonable. 2.
