1/5 Star (%9/100) The introduction and first few chapters were okay in my opinion. However, as I progressed more, I got angry and bored more in parallel. I forced myself to finish the book and I got really close to abandoning it. Let me start with the good because there is not a lot of it. Wolynn suggests that most of the traumas we suffer might be inherited and gives some examples to support it. That's it, that is the only good thing I got out of the book. First of all, as far as I've seen, Wolynn's main field of study is education, not psychology or counseling or anything similar. This makes me wonder if the stories or people he talks about are even real (according to him they are). There are almost no sources to support his claims other than some quotations from Jung or Freud. So, credibility becomes a serious problem in my opinion. Moreover, I found the "how to fix your relationships" parts absurd. In simple words, he suggests that if you have a bad relationship with your parents or other people, or if you are abused, it is your job to fix the "problem." Also, some other "fixes" are very funny as well. Let's say you are physically abused by someone. Here's a solution (from Wolynn, not me): Light a candle, write a letter etc. and forgive them. Uhm excuse me? There are many absurdities like this and I honestly struggled to read the entire book. I don't know how or why this book is translated into 25 languages and even got an award. Save yourself the trouble and don't read it.

Man Into Woman
In my opinion, there are lot's of reasons which make this book a unique one(at least for me) but if some examples should be given, the first one is that Lili Elbe is the real author of her autobiographical novel and the other reason is that this novel is the first book which is totally about the first sex change in the world. What makes this book interesting, affecting or unique is her being in the pursuit of her dreams even though it is thought to be impossible to change one's sex in the duration she lived. Though her story was full of troubles, it was wonderful one which left an enormous impact on me. I recommend y'all to read it.

4/5 Stars (%76/100) I think this is a must-have for hardcore Tolkien fans. If you are not a huge Tolkien fan, you probably don't need this book. The book's format is almost like a PhD dissertation. It consists of three main parts which can be called essays. There are a lot of notes, footnotes, extra information etc. Some of the notes are not complete because of Tolkien's writing and most of the book seems to be collected to create one huge note. This is why some of the parts are not really connected to each other. However, all of this does not mean that it is a bad or disorganized book. There are A LOT of useful information in my opinion, especially in the first part where we learn about how time and ageing work in Tolkien's universe. I did not expect it to be so mathematical with all these formulas. In short, if you are a die-hard Tolkien fan, you should definitely get this and read it at least once. Otherwise, for others it might not be too appealing or fun.

4/5 Stars (%83/100) This is my rating for this specific volume as well as the whole series. First of all, this volume was good and I think it did a good job wrapping the series up and tying up loose ends. As expected, there were a lot of deaths but those who still live are much different than their previous selves. Though it has some flaws, I would definitely recommend Jigokuraku. Seeing my favorite characters survive was also a blessing. The characters are very well-written in my opinion. The story is interesting enough to make you continue to read. The art style and character designs are great. The fight scenes are well-written and drawn and feel realistic. The mythological and religious symbols were great as well. It is pretty dark and that's one of the reasons why I liked it in the first place. I'm glad I decided to read the manga before waiting for the anime to end. I would love to collect the books and add them to my collection.

4/5 Stars (%77/100) This was pretty good! If there is even the slightest hint of time travel in a book, you can count me in. That's why I wanted to read this one along with a nice review from one of my friends. The reason why it took me almost a month to finish this is the fact that I chose the audiobook version. It was good but mostly I
