Johnny Allan door John M. Keller
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.This is really a quick read...I was not as impressed as many of the other reviewers. I had a difficult time staying focused and wanting to finish the book. By half way through the book, I was turned off with Johnny Allan’s flamboyant attitude. I tended to skim through many pages of the book just to get it over with. This would not be a recommend for me.

on social media and how it influences our lives. I didn't think it was well written, kind of slap it together. It could have done better with some review and rewrite.

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I really enjoyed this novel. It was a quick read but the story was impactful. Johnny Allan makes friends with his neighbors and gives them insight into their own lives. He is a young man who decides he will no longer use social media after he breaks his phone. He strikes up a friendship with a couple in their early thirties who live in the same building and the story explores their interactions. I thought the characters were well drawn with enough quirks and details to seem like real people. It explored some interesting ideas - about how social media can define us and what happens when we break free from it.
I also enjoyed that in the back of book there is a list of music from the 20s that has been released into the public domain. It got me to listen to things I’d never had a chance to hear before.… (meer)

Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I nearly stopped reading this book a couple of times as I found the cadence of the author's writing style rather jarring somehow. I did finally finish it, but It seemed more like an angst-ridden journal or diary rather than a novel. However, it was an uncorrected advance copy, so perhaps the final version was a bit smoother & more coherent?
