Rated The Dissidents: Autocrats! Vigilantes! Communists! And Cartoonists! 10/10
The book looks great and is up to the usual high standards set by [a:Derf Backderf|276252|Derf Backderf|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1531333251p2/276252.jpg]'s other work. Tons of research obviously went into it and it's lightly fictionalized (to give us a viewpoint character whose life is similar to [a:Derf Backderf|276252|Derf Backderf|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1531333251p2/276252.jpg]'s own ancestors (and whose career has parallels to his own)). I learned a lot of history from this.
Rated Deep Freeze 6/10
A bit formulaic but still a page turner. I don't think I will look for the rest.
Rated The Dentist 8/10
A bit gimmicky book about an English police detective who is autistic. Good mystery though (and there's a bonus chapter that was apparently written after the rest of the book?). I'll check out the next one, always good to have more popcorn books.

Rated Off the Reservation 10/10
Quite good and follows up on [b:The Only Good Indians|52180399|The Only Good Indians (The Only Good Indians, #1)|Stephen Graham Jones|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1601545259l/52180399._SY75_.jpg|71431671] but doesn't quite seem like a *direct* sequel, I'd recommend reading that one first but you'll figure it out if you don't. Had a bit of a jarring change part way through it and lots of bad things happen to the characters, satisfying resolution.
In The Defense, Nabokov’s language is, as always, rich, sharp, and full of vivid imagery and wordplay.
The characters, however, feel strangely soulless and do not inspire sympathy. It even seems that the author treats them with a kind of superiority bordering on contempt.

Rated The Kite Runner 10/10
I would like to give this a 4.5 star rating. Lots of stuff I didn't know about Afghanistan and their culture(s), well written but also a lot of stuff I had to suspend disbelief for and some cliche/melodrama plotting. Still, it was hard to put it down.
