Short reviews of all the books I read, rated out of four.
This padded-out but interesting book offers interesting Simpsons tidbits and also an overview of comedy (as Reiss sees it). He's got a bizarre hatred of Tim Allen, but it's a decent book. And a quick read. *** out of ****

It felt like I was reading this forever (even on my honeymoon!) but good lord does this thing drag. The Millennium series was always way wordier than it needed to be, but this was ridiculous. Lagercrantz offers up a plethora of barely-developed supplementary characters when the focus really should've been mostly on Salander and Blomkvist. This book could've easily been half as long. ** out of ****

This decent but completely unremarkable book isn’t as charming as the last Dave book I read but the characters are decent and I was basically invested in the story, though certain periphery characters remained impossible to lock down throughout. **1/2 out of ****
