I’d say the best part of the book for me was the epilogue!! It was so interesting!!
Ok, I did enjoy learning the origins of 6 of the most well known drinks in the world, but to say this is the history of the world in 6 drinks is very misleading. It may be the history of America’s most popular 6 drinks, but not a history of the world.
Anywho….2 ⭐️’s for me is being generous. If you want to DNF this book skip to the epilogue….it’s worth it. ...more

I was reading a portion of it at night and I felt like I should put it down before because it was starting to give me some not good vibes….
It did drag on for a bit and you kinda had to suspend reality for some portions but I was actually freaked out by the book….SPOILER ALERT….it might have been the dolls and puppet!!!...more

I would definitely recommend but with the caveat that you have to give it a minute…but it’s worth it!

I can appreciate this work of literary fiction, and I am happy to say I am pleasantly surprised with this story.
I will tell you it is LOOOONNNNNGGGGG! 500+ pages and/or a 14-hour audiobook....it is a commitment for sure to finish this book. But if you are a fan of a long read, this one is for you!...more

I picked up the wrong book titled “Hounded” for my book club. Oops! But it turned out pretty good but was a quick listen on Audiobook.

I really enjoyed the banter and dry humour of the main character. It was a good story and it wrapped up well. Overall it was a lighthearted crime story.

It was so discombobulating and even though I kinda knew what was going on, I had no idea what was going on. And do I have to hear about England’s politics and Covid 1@ throughout the book?!?! Apparently I do. I lived through Covid, I DO NOT need to hear about it from a fictional standpoint!
I am not a DNF’er so I sucked it up but it was one of those books that was playing in the background of my life for 10 hours.

But reading this as an actual adult wasn’t the best choice.
It was a quick read and had some great life lessons for a young adult. The 12 year old me would give this 5 ⭐️’s but for the adult me it’s a 3 ⭐️ read. ...more

I am rounding it down because I’m still processing. But I’m reading it for book club and after discussing I might round it up.
While it was a quick read and I do think that it needed to be written from Jacob’s perspective, I’m not sure I got everything I wanted out of the book. There were some holes that were left open. It didn’t really dig deep enough for me.
And it might have meant more to me if it was an actual memoir rather than being completely fiction. ...more
