Dungeon Crawler Carl

By Matt Dinniman

4 stars

I've put of reading this for ages... the title, the fact that it's described as a LitRPG, the cover... but everything I've seen says it's actually a lot of fun, so I gave it a shot. Turns out they are right, it is, in fact, an enjoyable read. Not going to win any literary awards, but fun, nonetheless.

Fun book, with an interesting magic system. Got some fundamental physics wrong at the start, which I struggled to get past, but once I did, I enjoyed it.
The Tiger - A True Story of Vengeance and Survival

By John Vaillant

4 stars

John Vaillant’s The Tiger recounts the true, chilling story of a massive, man-eating Siberian tiger that begins hunting and killing humans with a calculated, seemingly personal vendetta in the remote, post-Soviet wilderness of Russia’s Primorye region in 1997. The core narrative, which follows lead tracker Yuri Trush and his team pursuing the immense, almost mythic predator through the brutal, snow-covered taiga, is utterly unbelievable and gripping, possessing the intense suspense and tension of a true-crime thriller. Vaillant seamlessly blends this immediate drama with deep dives into the region’s ecology, history, and the harsh realities of post-Soviet life. While this encyclopedic detail provides fascinating context for the human-animal conflict, the transition between the story of the hunt and these extensive historical tangents at times took away from the flow, momentarily breaking the intense momentum. Despite these necessary but disruptive detours, The Tiger remains a spectacular achievement in narrative non-fiction, delivering a haunting and powerful story of the collision between man and nature at its elemental edge.
