Alone and Unobserved

I hardly ever say this, but... the movie was better. Mostly because of all the things it left out, all the things it didn't try to explain. Still good. Just not *as* good.

Really quite excellent. I had heard about a great deal of the research, the case studies and the examples before, but Vedantam ties it all together engagingly, clearly and incisively. I'm not qualified to judge the research this book is based on, or even the conclusions the author draws from that...

The series has gotten better with each book, but this is finally the installment that I felt tipped it over into four-star territory. Barely. But four stars even so. Sure, I rolled my eyes when the sixteen-year-old characters talked about their Twoo, Twoo Wuv, and there was plenty of other...

Possibly my favorite Neil Gaiman book to date. Gaiman has a marvelous way of hinting at so many things without vulgarly spelling them out. Half the fun was reading between the lines. A must-re-read.
