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.

A spot of bother by Mark Haddon

I picked up this book mainly because I loved “The curious incident of the dog in the nighttime”. This book was very different, but after a little while I could not put it down again. The main thing which took me a while to get in to is how British this family is. However the writing makes everything very clear and nice to follow and in the end you care about all characters. I give the book four out of five stars.
