"Exhaustive" "thorough" -- these are not words that make me want to read a book. They make me tired. Why do reviewers love to use them as compliments? Are the rest of you craving an exhaustive read?

Inclusion of the word ‘caper’ in the description is an automatic no from me…

I always take it as a slightly passive aggressive warning from a reviewer

It depends on what it is. I just finished Michael Lewis’ book on Sam Bankman Fried and I wish it was indeed more exhaustive in its sources and thorough in its research than just Lewis telling a nice story well 🤷🏼‍♀️

My car book is exhaustive
