xylogx@bookwyrm.world reviewed The Bezzle by Cory Doctorow
New York Times bestseller Cory Doctorow's The Bezzle is a high stakes thriller where the …
Solid sequel
5 stars
I did not enjoy this one as much as the first edition, but I still feel like was a great ride on the forensic accounting rollercoaster. With solid story telling and deep dives into legal and tech ideas, I feel like I learned a lot too. Looking forward to the next Martin Hench story.
xylogx@bookwyrm.world reviewed Red Team Blues by Cory Doctorow
Loved it
5 stars
Just finished reading the new Cory Doctorow book, "Red Team Blues." It is a gripping story about cryptography and the world of dark finance. I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

Oh oh oh, das habe ich echt nicht kommen sehen. So langsam wie ich das Buch angefangen habe, so schnell neigt es sich jetzt auf einmal dem Ende entgegen. So schnell, das ich mir auf alle Fälle Band 2 noch besorgen werde.
Es ist jetzt keine Hard Military SciFi aber echt gut geschrieben und auch mitunter lustig. Ich habe in letzter Zeit ein Buch so schnell durchgelesen (gut, sind noch ein paar Seiten)

Wild Woila reviewed Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr
Elaborate but tenuous.
3 stars
(3 stars = I liked it)
Three time periods are braided together by an ancient Greek tale: 15th century Constantinople, the modern day, and a space-faring future. Elaborate but tenuous. On their own each story has potential, but together they don't quite make a whole. Like Cloud Atlas but less enthralling.

Wild Woila reviewed Account Rendered by Melita Maschmann
A cog in the Nazi machine
4 stars
Autobiography of a woman who was a committed & diligent National Socialist (#Nazi), of her experience in youth work & propaganda, and her journey coming to terms with the truth of what she participated in. Description of the clinical dispossession of the Poles is disturbing (and new to me), as is the readiness with which everyday mediocre people were led into misguided beliefs, alternative facts & constrained thinking, to do prosaic work with horrifyingly evil outcomes.

Wild Woila reviewed Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
So good it hurt to read
5 stars
A harrowing journey through foster care and the opiate crisis. So good it hurt to read. Raw deal after raw deal left my heart aching, but enough clear-sighted humanity to stave off despair.

Wild Woila reviewed Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler (Earthseed, #1)
In 2025, with the world descending into madness and anarchy, one woman begins a fateful …
Prophetic for its time
3 stars
Adapting & building community during social collapse. Prophetic for its time, remains unsettling. God as Change could be a genuinely useful belief system. Only half a book, with ending sudden & too convenient (there is a sequel).

Wild Woila reviewed Africa Is Not a Country by Dipo Faloyin
Lively, enlightening & optimistic
4 stars
Dismantles the many myths & prejudices outsiders hold about monolithic "Africa", along with a startling reminder of its colonial history and an overview of its many forms of dictatorship. Lively, enlightening & optimistic without being overly simplistic.

Easy on the eyes
3 stars
A bit light on the mystery, and minimal movement in the meta-plot, but perfect relaxation escapism.

Amusing & insightful but long
3 stars
A satire of African dictatorships and coups. Nearly everyone is stupid, superstitious or greedy. Lightly amusing & insightful but exceeedingly long.
