Love to read! All things!
Though sweet spots are Science Fiction and Fantasy and humorous Young Adult stuff. I generally read in bed, so my preference is for less stressful stories. My favorite stories that ones that are both Quirky and Unexpected.
Due to book experiences being very dependent on the reader, I belive that reviews should be short.

Quirky and unexpected, the things I appreciate most in a book. Also, not that long, which means it can't get too lost in it's unique abstractions. Loved it, will read it again.
Don't need to read this more than once. It's tells many different stories that all confirm the depth of the structures that cauterize society and prevent it from meaningfully changing. Good stuff, opened my eyes to the work we need to put in to make lasting change.

The characters and their relationship as it evolves over time are the highlight of this book. It's a great tale of a strong friendship as it ebbs and flows over the decades. Felt very real and very human. I appreciated it for how much it made me consider my life and relationships.
The overall plotline and where it ends up are less compelling. I liked it but wouldn't read it again.

I love these kinda books: Shorter books with an extremely unique world that don't worry about a tidy ending. This is a thee book series, and it was good, but I mighta just has been as happy if I'd stopped after this one.
As someone who lives in and loves San Francisco, this book was a detailed tour through it's "summer of love" eras. But without that interest the writing likely wouldn't have kept me compelled. I much preferred 'Heart of the City' - a similar kinda book about Philly.
