This book was recommended to me by my friend and I loved it. It tells the story of Sasha, who's skirt gets set on fire while taking the 57 Bus on the way home from school, and Richard, the boy who did set the skirt on fire and initially got accused of a hate crime. It goes through both students' perspectives and also provides background information that relates to their story. It shows the complexity of people and is just an amazing read. I would recommend this book to everyone as I believe it is an important book just to read. I would also recommend to people who have read Accountable, which is by the same author. If you like the 57 bus, you should also read Accountable.

The book was okay. A little predictable.

A former Tesla President, Jon McNeill, details the ruthless operational framework Elon Musk used to drive hypergrowth at Tesla. The core philosophy is based on rapid, radical simplification and putting the customer's entire experience at the forefront of business strategy. As I am heavily involved with operations excellence at my current work, it was a great book to read. Here are my five takeaways. 1. Question Every Requirement: Do not accept rules at face value. Keep asking "why" until you are absolutely convinced a rule is a hard requirement, rather than an outdated custom or preference. 2. Delete Every Possible Step in a Process: Radically simplify. Strip away any step, process, or feature that the customer does not ultimately pay for. 3. Simplify and Optimize: Apply ruthless simplification to products, organizations, strategies, and communications. 4. Accelerate Cycle Time: Speed up the entire lifecycle, from raw materials to cash collection, to create an advantage over competitors. 5. Automate Last: Do not automate a flawed or bloated process. Optimize and delete unnecessary steps first, then automate to increase scale.

Kristin Hannah is one of my favorite authors because of her ability to create relatable characters while telling about important eras in history. This is my third book. In describing what it was like in Vietnam during the Vietnam War and what it was like to come home and not be recognized or appreciated and to additionally struggle with PTSD. I felt I learned a lot more about this period which was going on while I was in middle and high school and was just becoming aware of world issues but at the same time very unaware of a lot of what was going on.

Very action packed, but I wanted the ending to be more resolved. I guess I’ll have to wait to read the next book!

I enjoyed this book and the author,

I don’t really love graphic novels, but I read this one because it was a Nutmeg Book. The story is really interesting and the characters are relatable, and there are a good amount of both funny and sad parts. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes graphic novels.

I enjoyed reading about a person in history that has not been recognized for her contributions. She had strength to keep enduring although she faced many obstacles.

Great book
