Tesseract, The

Quick easy read

This was a decent book, for those who are into travelling, some taut suspense, and some other stuff maybe.

I think it was Alex Garland's first book if I'm correct. Or maybe that was The Beach. This isn't as good, but it was pretty good nonetheless and didn't take much time to get through.

Great Expectations

An enchanting tale

A compelling and thoughtfully written story that draws readers into its world from the very first page. With memorable characters and carefully built tension, this book offers a rewarding reading experience that lingers long after the final chapter.

About a Boy

Awesome Read

Wow, what a read this was. It had things going on, different characters, characters interacting, plot developments, all the kinds of stuff you'd expect from the writer in question. It was a book, it had pages, it occupied my time, it stimulated the brain. Would recommend.

Godfather, The

An influential book

"The Godfather" is the I Ching. "The Godfather" is the sum of all wisdom. "The Godfather" is the answer to any question. What should I pack for my summer vacation? "Leave the gun, take the cannoli." What day of the week is it? "Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday."
