Just a reminder that most bloggers review books for free alongside a trillion other commitments in busy lives. Please don't take that for granted. If a review isn't quick enough, good enough or you don't agree with it, keep in mind we are doing this solely for love of books.

I'm just over halfway through. Some passages are so unbelievably beautiful I want to highlight them and share with all my friends... other bits are a bit meh. This is very much how I felt about Demon Copperhead - maybe the curse of the overhype? Will report back at the end!

Fitting that Netanyahu would depart from visiting Viktor Orban in Hungary to meet with Trump in Washington – an all-around world tour of wanna be authoritarians of a kind resisting any form of accountability. All three are consulting the same "attack democracy" playbook to muzzle all opposition.
