Rated Het echte leven 10/10

Wat een boek! Echt een achtbaan van emoties, waarbij je steeds in een ander subverhaal valt en van de ene verbazing in de andere tot het overweldigende einde. Voor mij met afstand het boek van 2020.

Rated Aloha Rodeo: Three Hawaiian Cowboys, the World's Greatest Rodeo, and a Hidden History of the American West 8/10

I would not say that I'm a rodeo fan, but I do live in a place where it happens, so I am loosely aware of what it entails. That said, a good writer (or writers, in this case) can make any subject compelling, and that's what Wolman and Smith have done here. I didn't know anything about Hawaiian paniolos/cowboys, and it was interesting to read about how they are different from their continental counterparts, plus the related history of the islands that created the job. The book is also a fair bit about Wyoming and their Frontier Days festival, where the paniolos would eventually compete, and I appreciated that the authors did not gloss over the difficult history of the displaced native tribes.

Rated Beacon 23 4/10

Howley's weakest book I read so far. The setting is compelling, a man, along in a lighthouse in space. The story is interesting too, weird things happen in the lighthouse and there is a war, from which our hero tried to escape by taking up the post in the lighthouse. But the pace is off, it is nothing like the slumbering, creeping narrative of Wool, or the fast pace of Molly Fyde. Stuff happens, but it does not really build up on other events, and the ending comes quick and unanticipated. Disappointing.

Rated The Silent Patient 6/10

Read this in a weekend on old fashioned paper! Really engaging but the ending is a bit so-so.
