  • Awful

    There are better more qualified book reviews out there, don’t waste your time, this is straight from good reads with little to no understanding of the books. If I could it would be zero stars

  • A book summary

    was looking forward to listening after hearing about a podcast doing deep dives of some of my favourite books but was let down by a summary of the book which seemed like it has been taken from a 8th graders english lit book. disappointed but not surprised as it seems olivia ponton seems to be trend follower who needed another cash grabbing idea rather then a true bookworm making a podcast for the love of books.
