Abandoned at 22%. Nothing wrong with it, but my holiday ended and it wasn't engaging enough to continue.

I liked it! Good holiday reading. I got more bored with it torwards the end, though. I also really didn't like Markx dying - I cried a little. I do like that the characters actually grow up and evelop throughout. Oh and the death felt a little like it was just for a effect. Meh.

Recommended by a friend. I especially liked the first few stories like Mario, Millenial Fable and The City Speaks. It goes downhill from there, but I still enjoyed them as bedtime stories.

Took a second (and one false-start) to get into, but was really enjoying it by the end. I'll read the others too.

Not sure how to explain that I loved this, but abandoned it at 17%. Now I feel like it's been too long to start reading again, and don't want to start over.

My dad wanted me to read this so much he gave it to me twice. Kind of gimmicky, but has a cute resolution. "Your car goes where your eyes go". The guy stays good through hard times -> uplifting.

Described as 'The Hunger Games with vampires', which checks out. For whatever reason it felt like I was reading this much more slowly than other stuff. Kind of entertaining, but very similar to other books in the same genre.

Stopped reading at 59% because I thought the author/narrator was too hypocritical, and the content can be summarised as 'bad company bad'. Boring.

Fun page-turner. Read while watching Severance and it's got very similar themes (innie/outie)

Absolutely hated it, and would've stopped 'reading' it if it hadn't been an audiobook and I hadn't been stuck on an exercise bike. What a horrible protagonist.
