5 Stars | Read With Kennie

It's Just Hockey

When I read a book that I love, I often find it difficult to write a review. How am I supposed to put into words the way this book made me feel? What could I possibly say to properly express the most brilliant parts of it? I can't, really, which is why I rarely write reviews for my 5 Star books. I wanted to try with Beartown, because I think it's an amazing work of art.

Sisters in All Tenses

This story is short but very powerful. I thought it did a really good job of making the most of its limited word count, successfully creating an impactful and unique story. Of course, I loved This is How You Lose the Time War, so it's not a huge surprise.

Holly Jackson Does It Again

Was this book perfect? No, but I'm not in the business of being a hater where Holly Jackson is concerned. I loved reading this book, despite its (rather minimal) flaws.

Hamlet, the Origin Story

I really enjoyed this book, although I was curious whether I liked it because it's about "Hamlet" or if I liked it because I truly thought it was a good book. But with how beautifully written and highly emotional it was, I think it's fine to say I just liked it.

A Remarkably Good Book

I knew I was going to love this book, but it's taken me such a long time to read it. I'm so glad that I finally did, though. It's a very unique book, and I never would've guessed that an octopus having a point of view would be endearing instead of silly, but it worked really well.
