Davenport House by Marie Silk
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
2.5
The story in itself is cute enough, but it's written quite clunky in my opinion.
McMillions: The Absolutely True Story of How an Unlikely Pair of FBI Agents Brought Down the Most Supersized Fraud in Fast Food History by James Lee Hernandez, James Lee Hernandez, Brian Lazarte
medium-paced
2.5
Interesting story, but written in a very popular voice, which I didn't like much. Also, the sudden religious angle in one of the last chapters rubbed me the wrong way.
Voor als je stuk bent by Schiavone Simson

Sommige gedichten zijn erg sterk. De langere stukken, die bijna proza zijn, waren fijn om te lezen. En de "woordzoekers" goed gevonden. Wel voelt het echt als een debuut, en of bepaalde dingen nog moeten groeien (en eigenlijk maar goed ook, bij iemand die 22 was bij de uitgave hiervan).

For me, it was too many different kinds of stories, too many vibes, and too many shifts on what the main plot seemed to be.
