Second Reading: Notable and Neglected Books Revisited by Jonathan Yardley

funny informative medium-paced

5.0

Well, the totally honest, spot on, and deliciously roasting Catcher in the Rye review is alone reason to recommend this.
I do question his praise of the forgettable not-so Great Gatsby though; What even is a Gatsby?
Overall, a well written and deft collection of book reviews!
