Harvey Low Fat Milk's Reading Log

Harvey Low Fat Milk

Frankenstein
Mary Shelley

This is a great book that plays with the readers sympathies as well as being a horrific cat and mouse thriller, I can see why this novel has endured so much. Very short and moves at an excellent pace as a result.

4/5

Harvey Low Fat Milk

White Teeth
Zadie Smith

One word that I'd use for this book is sprawling. It's restless in it's pursuits of different characters, ideas and points of views and the result is excellent. It veers in all directions but never feels like its losing track of where it wants to go. Highly recommended.

4.5/5

Harvey Low Fat Milk

I am Zlatan
Zlatan Ibrahimovic

A very divisive character and an explosive player doesn't really bring anything new to literature but it's good fun and it's a quick read.

3/5

Harvey Low Fat Milk

The Turn of the Screw
Henry James

A short story/novella that's very well written but not particularly creepy unfortunately.

2.5/5

Harvey Low Fat Milk

Gone Girl
Gillian Flynn

Forgot to add this because I forgot I read it! Very unlikeable characters and a bit too neat. Thinks it's smarter than it is.

2/5

Harvey Low Fat Milk

Wool
Hugh Howey

A good start to a sci-fi series, sags a little in the middle but overall a good read and I'll definitely read the next few.

3.5/5

Harvey Low Fat Milk

Shift
Hugh Howey

I thought this was great, serves as a prequel to Wool and does a great job of world creation that sets up a good final part hopwfully.

4/5

Harvey Low Fat Milk

Heart Shaped Box
Joe Hill

Probably would have worked better as a short story. Kinda dragged and not particularly creepy.

2/5

Harvey Low Fat Milk

Dust
Hugh Howey

Something very unsatisfying about the third part. Plenty of story told over the series but just felt a little bit flat.

2.5/5

Harvey Low Fat Milk

The Goldfinch
Donna Tartt

I liked how it was written and the story but never warmed to the protagonist. Probably could've been shorter top.

3.5/5
