Certainly a novel approach to Christian ethics. CS Lewis’ collection of letters from Screwtape, a “Senior Tempter of Hell” to his young and novice Tempter Wormwood shines a light on the many obvious and the many more less-obvious ways humans may fall into temptation or apart from God. It was uncomfortably humbling, yet all the more edifying.

Coming off of the TV show, my introduction to the Sandman novels didn't disappoint. The story is intriguing and has similar beats to what I expected from the show. The most striking part of this book is the art; it pushes the limits of the graphic novel as a medium, in a similar but more drastic way than Watchmen. One of the most beautiful graphic novels I've ever seen

A bit less fantastical than the movie, but it carries a bit more gravity than the movie from details it chooses to disclose. The book is mostly suspenseful and ends beautifully.

Incredible piece of hard-science fiction. It's a gripping story with a surprisingly emotional ending

This book suffers from the fact that discussing almost any aspect of the book would be a spoiler. It is very good, though I do wish it were more character driven. The sequel in the trilogy, the Dark Forest, more than makes up for any shortcomings in this book however.

One of the most awe inspiring and fear inducing novels I've ever read. It has changed the way I view extra-terrestrial science fiction on principle.

Currently really enjoying this book. It's interesting because so far it's not as much a critique of Capitalism as it is an absolute thrashing of corporations and free trade. My only nit pick would be that it seems to be somewhat Christian themed - there are frequent (one or two every section) references to Moses, Jesus, the Ten Commandments, etc. It's unclear if that's the author's bias, a callout of hypocrisy, or an appeal to the audience. Some may find that more abbrasive than others, but it's still pretty good
