Raina Telgemeier took me back to the misery of Junior High and new braces! and this graphic novel/ memoir works just as well with women my age as with middle schoolers/junior high school students past in their middle aged years who might find, as I did, that all those feelings I remembered having at that time in my Life were shared! Raina's graphic novels for self-information even now as that middle aged woman - whose own daughter experienced a different middle grade years Life and still amazes me - my daughter in her 20's is legions beyond me even now!

Very sad tale of child abuse but thankfully the author was rescued from it!

I liked the concept of this book, which wove the author's research on blindness and the disability activism movement with his own personal story about losing his eyesight gradually due to a congenital disease. I appreciated portions of this book - some of the anecdotes were interesting and helped me better understand the perspective of someone who is living with low vision. But, at the same time, this was a story of a white, male, wealthy, heretofore able-bodied person adjusting to losing vision. Don't get me wrong - the author did a good job acknowledging his privilege of being in this scenario, but as someone who has read other books about disability, I didn't find the narrative as compelling. Probably harsh to say, but I didn't connect with the narrative as much as I would have thought. 2.5 stars.

I loved this book. However, It is for younger kids. It is about mice and a dog. The dog comes erupts from a volcano and destroys the world. It is just an innocent dog, but to the mice, it is a scary, annoying monster. I would recommend this book for young readers.

Pretty good, although not his usual compelling legal thriller. However, the subject matter was interesting and I enjoyed the characters.

Interesting history about the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore, MD. Thought it would be more of a memoir, but a lot of time was dedicated to talking about the formation of the OCME and I found it a little bit boring.

I really enjoyed how this book dives into the messy lives of a family, blending humor with some pretty heavy moments. That said, I found the number of subplots a bit overwhelming at times, making it hard to keep track of everyone’s story.

It was a very good book and was truly a exciting, excellent, and an exquisite book to read. Feels both fresh and exciting, crafting a distinct identity that stands out against the many other books on the stands. In the book, there was a lot going on and it was kind of hard to connect the pictures to the text. But overall, the book was very good and I look forward to reading the next parts of the books.

Total mind-bender that' had me hooked from page one. Angela R. Watts serves up a wild ride of epic battles and mind-blowing twists that'll leave you itching for more once you're done.

This insightful book dives deep into the complexities of women's friendships, blending research, psychology, and practical advice. It offers valuable strategies for navigating conflicts and maintaining connections, all while exploring the dynamics that shape these relationships. The warm and relatable writing style makes it feel like a personal coaching session, providing both validation and actionable steps for anyone looking to strengthen their friendships.
