Engaging and rewarding, but a little less well-plotted than Flynn's other works. Fun characters, but a little less deep than Flynn's other characters. You get the idea.

A bit light and repetitive, but a good introduction to queer horror movie analysis.

No one acts like these characters do. Unrewarding ending. Thematically sloppy. :-/

Great! I love a good book that's basically just a big list of fun facts, and this was a stellar rendition of one. As someone who has a lot of linguistics knowledge, I think it would've benefited the work to include a bit more technical linguistic information (the IPA, at least...), but I understand why it was omitted for the casual reader.

An incredibly engaging review of the history of North American colonization from a largely indigenous perspective. Very elucidating and informative while remaining readable and not-too-dense throughout.

I'm a huge fan of Elliot Page, and while I enjoyed learning about his life and experiences here, the actual structure of the book is abysmal. There's a bit too much confusing and poorly-written syntax for my taste, and the pacing is just... messy. Sorry, Mr. Page. I love your movies. I Promise

Mildly interesting, but too bogged down with irrelevancies to get a higher score.

Thorough, engaging, and thought-provoking. Great balance of "great man" history and nouvelle histoire.

Magnetic. I couldn't put it down.

Interesting, but did not convince me that animals have "inner creative lives" - and I already believed that they do! The arguments are largely anthropomorphizations of animal behaviors that are easily explained in other ways.
