gimchi's review against another edition

4.0

had a bit of trouble reading this one the first go around - was it the shiny tablet and the wonky file that rendered all punctuation as little squares? probably.

maybe our library will one day let us check out e-readers with e-ink screens, it'd be interesting to see if i actually enjoy reading a book in that format.

in any case, reading the book version a second time? much better!

the layout of the stories rise and fall like a bell curve; towards the end of the last story i got antsy, but it pulled together nicely. this would have been a good book for my original book club to read, as we would usually dig into a book pretty well (assuming most of us had read the thing, of course). no one, including myself, had finished in my 2nd bk club - alas.

also v. intrigued to see how tom hanks will be in the movie version. i'm still scared to see extremely loud and incredibly close.
