btuftin started reading Matter by Iain M. Banks (Culture, #8)
All of Kingfisher's books are good, but some are remarkable in their novelty. This is one one those. It's such joy to learn about a world that is different in some unexpected way

You don't have to understand life
4 stars
This is the third Matt Haig book I've read this year. And possibly the best. They're all very imaginative and quirky, and it's probably all on me that I'm not fully on board with them. I've just read so many books and developed some antipathies Haig tickles. Still, his books never fail to provoke thought and introspection and I completed this pretty satisfied with the denouement.

Not a book for me
3 stars
This was not for me. I found it to be too long, too intricate, too coy. If it hadn't been recommended to me by someone who loved it, it might have been one of my rare DNFs, but I persevered to see if it would eventually grow on me. But although I eventually gained a little interest in the faith of the characters after two-thirds or so, it was still somewhat of a slog to the very end.

Review of 'This Will Be Fun' on 'Goodreads'

This book is silly. Mostly fun silly, but the "our modern world, but TV shows are transmitted by magic and Ubers are horse drawn" concept grated on me a little. But still, it lives up to the title. Imagine it said sarcastically, and then becoming true. It's the perfect title for the book
