A book with a lot of emotion and heart. Full of kindness and tragedy in equal measuring, More than the sum of it's parts. Has this really enjoyable section where you get to watch the robot learn and grow going from basic rules to something that looks and feels a lot like emotion.

A mean haunted house book that watches it's relatively likable characters slowly rip themselves apart from the inside out. Tragedy feels completely inevitable from the first moments of the book. A surprisingly hard and upsetting equal parts scary and sad. Has strong gothic feel.

A spoonful of Genre helps the medicine go down. A deeply american horror story equal parts the cosmic horrors of a cold uncaring universe and the recent horrors of a deeply racist america. Somewhat episodic in nature with a large cast of character on different interlocking tails.

With the Initial mysteries solved at the end of the 1st book. This installment is good at exploring the implications of those answers. Solid read with good villains and compelling hero. Suffer from middle book syndrome since it is the second in a trilogy. Good at showing tension.

A mediation on what it means to do something for the sake of doing it, doubly so when the thing you are doing is long and hard. Living as some what of an outsider, endlessly walking in the wilder side of America, the bitter sweet joy of having people come and go in your life.

"AWOL on the Appalachian Trail", David Miller.
