Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.
Amazing read so far! I had to DNF because I feel like it put me in a slump (due to me already seeing the Netflix show so I vaguely know what’s going to happen) and there are so many other amazing books I should be reading rn!!! It’s a library book, so hopefully I can issue it out again when I am ready to read it. P.S., you can definitely tell this book is written by a man, and that gave me a bit of an ick :P

An okay read, but it felt like a giant waste of my time. It seems as though I’m not really into mind-numbing, one-dimensional books with unlikeable characters and zero plot.

whimsical, bizarre, mysterious, unique, and just a bit mad, this skilfully-written book managed to keep me enthralled with every page. i truly felt transported and immersed in piranesi’s world and mind

I have no words. I have never read anything that gave me so much anxiety - I was constantly in a state of fight-or-flight (to the point where I had to ban myself from reading before bed lest the adrenaline coursing through my veins render me a raging insomniac).

Pierce Brown can do absolutely no wrong!!! I’ve been looking for a book that would make me FEEL again, and this was an emotional roller-coaster and a half. I am dying to read Morning Star!!
