A summary of my reading for the month and cumulative total of my reading for the year will go here once the month is done.
Lexicon
Author: Max Barry
Genre: Fiction, Thriller, Sci-Fi
# of Pages: 416
My Rating: 4.25 stars
Why I Read It: It was on a list of recommended books in The Atlantic
One Sentence Summary: Trained “poets” use words to control and persuade depending on a person’s personality but things go very awry when a particularly powerful word is found and used.
Why 4.25 Stars? This was a crazy-ass thriller that had a great concept and was executed really well. In addition to being a smart thriller, it also has some important things to say about our modern world and the power of language.
Would I Reread One Day? Probably
