All tagged Book club
Reread Americanah for a book club. 4.54/5.00. Could touch on poverty more. Occasionally bias/generalizes. But all the characters and their stories are great. Has astute observations and situations that are well worth understanding and dissecting.
4.20/5.00 Not without flaws but the world building, philosophical quandaries, unique narration make this instant classic worth reading and discussing. Will watch and update with Blade Runner.
5th book club book. 4.17/5.00 Definitely worth reading, unique in it’s focus and characters. I think I may have missed some of the nuances as I’ve never read the Bible. Some very well written passages lent to a good flow and pace. Interesting perspectives on women’s health and their histories. I thought it may have missed an opportunity to expand on Dinah’s experiences raising a child.
Read A Scanner Darkly and watched the movie with friends
Overall, great book, great movie, highly recommended. 4.35 Book, 4.1 movie. Great universe and interesting story. Plus for such a unique blend of sci-fi and poverty/drug addiction. Possibly would require me to reread closer for a deeper understanding and appreciation.
