Sara's reading log

I am a book hoarder and reader. My main genre is SF, but I also love magic realism, fantasy and general fiction. Favorite authors are Iain M. Banks, Ursula K. LeGuin, Haruki Murakami, José Saramago, Isaac Asimov, Ben Aaronovitch and more. My rating system is based on five stars. I rate books based on my expectations and what a books aims to be. This means that the brilliant 'Fahrenheit 451' gets five stars because I thought it would be good, people said it was good, and it was good, but 'A Closed and Common Orbit' also gets five stars because in its series, in its style, I really enjoyed it and was not disappointed.

I just finished “The selected works of T.S. Spivet” by Reif Larsen. I picked up this book mainly because of it’s unusual size and the many side notes and illustrations. For me, it took some getting used to, because those illustrations and side notes can be distracting. However, this is a wonderful story about a twelve year old prodigy discovering the adult world, secret societies, family history and more. A great read, four out of five stars.
