Sherman Soon shermansoon — I love this book. An epic love story told through food and family. Spans an entire lifetime of the characters. An easy read and immensely satisfying.

Selina James selinajames — ** spoiler alert ** As I was reading it, I tagged it with 4 stars because I was really enjoying it but hesitant to give it top honors. A few of the shorts really moved me, especially "The Sea Change", which is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever encountered. But I think he had me sold when I got to the final vignette, "Snow, Glass, Apples." I'm surprised my friend Steven (a fellow Neil fan who gifted me this book) managed to keep that one a secret. I am terribly enamored with all things Snow White. And, to have such a dark treasure of a story devoted to her was what brought out the fifth star in this book. I maintain that Neverwhere is still the best introduction for new Gaiman readers, but Smoke and Mirrors is a fantastic collection even if you're unaware of the man's genius. It'll definitely intrigue you to seek out more of his work! There's a real gothic beauty running through all of these stories. I had such a good time reading them. Beautiful work, Neil. Thank you, Steven!!! :-D

Gonca Gülbahar lalendam — This was an incredible book about life in modern day North Korea, with a smattering of what things are like in South Korea. Despite the very grim subject of survival in a repressive and deprived (in almost every way imaginable), the human element of the story makes this a real and true page turner. It's about 250 pages or so in length, but I read it in one short weekend, and was sad when I finished it, like I am when I finish a long and enjoyable novel.
