Like another review I couldn’t get into this book. Maybe if it was in print I could look at the notes but I thought it strange to have dialogue and what the individuals were feeling. The author did mention diaries but was there really dialogue and emotions written. I felt like it was more of a bio pic where the author was trying to evoke an emotion where what I wanted was facts.
I like the subject but the style just wasn’t for me.

This was a good introduction to basic words. I did find it wasn’t musical like I was thinking. I thought there word be songs to help remember words, but it was just background beats. After a while that got annoying. I still hear the beat in my head but not so much the words.
I did like hearing the words spoken by a native speaker. And it was slow and pretty clear. Definitely downloaded the pdf to follow along. I didn’t at first and wondered why the words in the group were in a weird order. It is because they are alphabetical in English. I would have liked similar items together; arm, hand, fingers rather than alphabetical.
I will go through it again to try to remember more words.

I enjoyed this book. The visiting of cemeteries is a small part of our travels, but we don’t usually know the history of them. The use of focusing on an individual cemetery to travel us through time was engaging. I learned a lot and think we should talk about our death and where we want to be to make it easier on the loved ones we leave behind.

I truly enjoyed this book. I am a fan of other Andy Weir books. I admit I am not a scientist so the science didn’t bother me; it is a fictional story. But I did look up online others’ analysis of the science. I still found the book fascinating. I like thinking beyond what we are so sure of here. Who knows what we still have to learn from the universe?

While Mr Pollan is a good writer this book is about his caffeine journey more than the science. If you have read other books on coffee, tea, or soda there isn’t much new. I feel a bit of the story was hyperbole because I was hoping for more science and less feelings.
But if you like to read stories of a person’s experiences you might like this.
