Tests your patience, in a good way
4 stars
There's a lot of purposeful filler in here, but it serves the same purpose as the blanks on a canvas -- it adds to the composition. That said, my expectations were a bit high going into the book after watching the myhouse.wad videos on youtube -- the mod was much more dynamic, and the book feels flat in comparison. Still an excellent read, worth your time.

Award winner for a reason
5 stars
The book is incredibly captivating from the moment you open it -- I instantly was done with Part 1 even though I had something to do and couldn't spend that much time reading. The dialogue and some of the analogies are strange to English readers, but is on purpose -- being translated from Chinese, too much of the meaning and flow would have been lost if it were more "Americanized". The way its paced also makes you feel like you're going through the same thing the main character is. Overall, an excellent book, and am super excited to watch the show.

Just picked this up at my local bookstore! Very captivating, but the way it describes the female characters is a little off-putting to be honest. I wouldn't be surprised if it failed the bechdel test.

imadnyc started reading Working in Public by Nadia Eghbal
Seem cool, a lot of the books beginning though is spent recapping what is basic to a lot of devs, which makes sense, since it's not supposed to be an overtly technical book. Very easy read, and very informative so far.
