Elena Ferrante

The cover is evocative and sets a clear tone, but its earnestness can feel a tad overdone.

JABBIC Rating: ★★★★★ “King of Sloth” promises a dramatic and opulent tale, suitable for fans of romantic and historical fiction who are drawn to stories of moral complexity and personal transformation.

FUNNY STORY

Emily Henry

JABBIC Rating: ★★★½ A likely candidate for those looking for an escape into laughter and relatability, assuming the stories within can live up to the breezy, comedic promise of its cover.

Ken Follett

JABBIC Rating: ★1/2 The Pillars of the Earth" might cater to die-hard Follett fans or history buffs, but for the casual reader, it seems to promise a laborious journey through medieval masonry rather than a riveting read.
