Reader’s Note
7 out of 10
He does the murder early doors then greets about it for the rest of the book. Porfiry's worth the ticket, mind. Long, but no bad.

Crime and Punishment reviewed by @an_ordinary_tuesday
A young man's conscience eating him alive from the inside out over one long hot summer. The epilogue redeemed it for me; my book group thought the epilogue ruined it. We are still arguing in the car park.8 out of 10@an_ordinary_tuesday

One idea, said eleven times, slow. Is that a book? Skimmed the last third and missed nothing.4 out of 10Guns Germs and Steel
Snow Crash reviewed by @books_and_bins
Starts like a rocket. The pizza run at the start is brilliant. Then a man explains Sumerians at you for what feels like a fortnight and I was done.5 out of 10Snow Crash
