O. Henry was a great writer with each story having a surprising ending but his use of the English language made him difficult to follow.

I love dogs, so I liked reading about Charlie. Charlie was brave at the Doctor office. Charlie was nice and helped the other dog. I like when someone reads this book to me.

I wanted to love this book as science and faith and their intersections are where I "live". But this book plunged into the world of addiction so heavily, that I felt like I needed an Al-Anon meeting while reading it. I don't say that lightly because I highly appreciate 12-step recovery groups. I thought this leaned heavily into the coming-of-age issues of how to disengage from mentally ill parents and restrictive churches. Because it was a look-backwards POV, I thought Gifty, being a Stanford student, would be intelligent enough to seek out other places of worship and come to terms with (while not approve of) the cultural issues in churches. To condemn God because of a few people seems.....unwise and unfair. Do we want God to smite every bad action or actor? Wouldn't that include each one of us? This is the inherent tension in Christianity. How do we continue to love? The attempt for Gifty to discover the answers to depression and addiction seems laudable but naive. How many millions of people have hoped to do just that? Maybe working with God and maybe through 12-step groups could move the needle? Nonetheless,I learned a lot about Ghana, the daily pain of immigration, and the bigotry endemic in AL.

I liked this because it has lots of funny and interesting parts. I recommend this book to you.

I like that Elbow Grease never gave up.

Suspenseful. Loved every page. I don’t get much time to read but I couldn’t put this book down. Read it in 2 days. Can’t wait to read more by Colleen Hoover.

I like Among Us.

I was hooked from the first page. Tommy's writing style is beautiful and the content is fascinating, I stayed up late the first night I was reading it and finished half of it.

Very humorous, full of fun. The little guy is a big guy. I liked that at the end when the octopus had spikes all over his tongue the blowfish said poor little guy.

A really good book with really good poems, but some poems were a bit to sad and dark - maybe not for you. I REALLY enjoyed the happy, uplifting poems, though!
