It wasn’t my favorite!!!! But still good!!!

Overall a very good read. A little long and dragging at times (it’s a long and detailed book) but excellent comprehensive history of the Hudson River. I especially enjoyed the early revolutionary history! But all of it was interesting and I learned a lot!

Good book!!!!!! Loved the main character (the octopus)!!!

Not a fan at all!!!!!!

If you ever watched the movie, Minority Report, this book has a similar take on the surveillance state. However, Lalami's presentation feels more real and prescient and less futuristic. With the rise of AI intelligence and integrated computer systems, one can easily imagine the fate of our protagonist, as she is swept up and placed in a detention center based on an algorithm's output. The book is gripping and tense at times, but also does a good job of showing us how technology can worm its way into our lives in ways we may not have imagined.

Great epic viking fantasy adventure

I enjoyed reading this while working sleepaway camp and needed something quick to get through. Loved the style too! Finished this on July 7th.

Awesome book!!!!! One of my favorites!!!!

Enjoyable, light read. Made me want to go back to France :)

If you like baseball, you'll love this story. Between Joey's Italian family, which revolve all events around food - and Bobbi's family, that own a llama farm, these two young kids find they have more common that they realize. A funny and serious book for middle grade readers.
