The Soul of A New Machine by Tracy Kidder

# data[].attributes.body
So far the book seems mysterious and tries to get the reader to be curious about the main character while he is on a boat trip and is caught in a storm. The author gives hints telling us how special and different West is to normal other people. Tracy Kidder makes west seem very mysterious because he said that the trip including the storm at sea was a vacation. One man said he wonders where he works since he was told West once decided to work 4 straight nights without sleep. I predict the book will talk about this man's work and what he accomplished later in this book.

M first impression of this book is that it is very captivating as it explains the beginning of Louie's life. The beginning shows what caused Louie to be a troubled kid and how he just wanted attention and he got that from stealing. The fact that he got into trouble a lot as a kid and how he became an amazing track runner leads me to infer that he will be running a lot when he joins the war. Overall, the book moves quickly only focusing on main points in his childhood, but has me hooked already.

Mayte Losada - Columbine by Dave Cullen

My first impression of this book is that it's not just about the shooting itself that took place in 1999. It's also about the people who were killed, their lives, if they knew the killers or not. It goes so much more in depth than what I thought. In the first few chapters, the author thoroughly describes what the shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold  look like, he also describes their personalities, who they hung out with and what they could usually be found doing. The author does a good job of creating a relationship between the reader so they can better understand what what going through the minds of all the people. By first impression this book, I would say seems very intriguing and interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of this book was the fact that is was inspiring, based on how it was talking about how people have defied the odds and completed an upset in some sort of way. As I have read through the book so far, it seems like the main focal point will be involved with ordinary people beating "Goliaths", otherwise known as giants. I would not be shocked if many surprising events come to play during the course of this book. This book is also realistic, basing the setting and time period of the novel with a real world battle between the Palestine's and the Israelite. Overall, seems like David, the main character, will end up defying the odds and defeating a Goliath, and hopefully others will find the courage to step up and rebel as well.

For a first impression, I would say that this book is great but has some flaws. What makes the book great are the mysteries brought up in the story, and the qualities of each character. The main story and mystery is a great hook that reels me into the story. Even though the book has an interesting mystery aspects, I felt that there were some random parts of the story added in which made me lose focus in the story. Overall I think the book is good, and I hope it gets better as I continue reading it.

Holden Wilson- The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson

# data[].attributes.body
This book is written through various different rhetorical strategies. It has an anecdotal and inferential style that's deemed reasonably tenable by the amount of details and connections to legitimate people and events within the writing. The book is designed to catch your interest and embody the deceptive, untrustworthy mindsets of some of its characters. The author serves this style very appropriately, writing the book as a mix of intangible interpretation and factual dissection.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of this book was that it was incredibly honest. The main premise of the novel relates to uncovering corporate greed on Wall Street with regards to the subprime mortgage crisis. This is shown through an in depth look at the work of figures like Steve Eisman, who uncovered false financial information being disclosed by large firms, which in turn led to many (primarily poorer) Americans defaulting on their mortgage debt. Because of the work of many of the characters, the reader is able to understand the various unsavory aspects of early 2000's Wall Street, which gives the reader the impression that the book is candid and honest.

Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer.  

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of the book was that it was very in depth and informative, but also able to maintain a relatively fast pace. Foer didn't spend time on small details that were irrelevant, instead he focused on the large abstract ideas. This book is centralized on the idea that an average human brain can remember anything. The first chapter is an introduction to this idea by running through different scenarios of people not believing in themselves, but then applying the "art of memory" method and proving themselves wrong.

American Sniper, so far, seems to be a very exciting and intriguing book. This book is a biography, so the author lived this story out in real life. These first person accounts allow you to relate with the story line and make easy connections. So far the tone is pretty causal, and it just feels like your having a conversation with the author. I haven't quite reached the serious stories of this book, currently he is working as a ranch hand in the middle of Texas.

Hot Lights, Cold Steel: Life, Death, and Sleepless Nights in A Surgeon's First Years by Michael J. Collins, M.D.

# data[].attributes.body
Upon starting this book, the first thing I noticed was the rawness and honesty. Right off the bat, the author tells an intense story about a situation he experienced in the operating room at the end of his fourth year of residency. He is faced with the decision of whether to amputate a young boy's leg or not. The pressure Collins feels in this moment is displayed throughout the book as he faces the challenges of confidence and remaining afloat during his four years as an orthopedic surgical resident. The honesty of how he felt in the situation is interesting because most doctors don't shed light on their personal struggles to get to be where they are. Instead they only focus on the good they have done.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of this book was that the author really wants to tell his specific story about his time in the Seals. The book starts kind of slow in the beginning as he is telling his backstory and where he is from but it starts to pick of very quickly. This book is also very easy to read and connect with because it is told from first person. That helps me understand where the author is coming from when he brings up small details and why they are important.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of this book was that the author really cares for how the story is told, and the details he chooses to share. From the first few chapters I have read, Dave Cullen appears to have worked the most on giving each character as much detail as possible. Every person mentioned in this book has some connection to the main event, big or small, and the author makes sure to make that known. Cullen has so far done a good job at creating a bond between the reader and the characters, helping create more emotions as the story goes on. Although many people know the story of Columbine High School, even the beginning of the book still comes as a surprise to readers by how Dave Cullen narrates the book.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impressions of this book come from the analytical portion of the prologue and introduction as you can see the author is creating a formal script of Steve Eisman while also conveying some very blatant tones about his job and how he got to where he is. With a mixed sentence structure from dialogue to his own interpretation of the market the reader can value what Eisman thinks about Oppenheimer and use it for perspective to what's happening in the firms around him. I'm interested so far with the book because of this point of view and the involvement of the stock market's tendencies.

Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand

In the beginning of the novel, the author explained the childhoods of Louie Zamperini and Pete Zamperini. I liked how the author gave specific examples of how what they did as a child formed who they were as people. For example, Louie had a childhood full of "artful dodging" he was "clever, and resourceful, bold enough to escape any predicament." His "resilient optimism" would benefit him later in the war. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of this book, and finding out what these people would grow up to achieve. The other characters have been described as well, there are some very out of the blue things said about some characters, I am interested to find out why those certain things were important enough to add into the book.

Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by: Nick Bostrom

# data[].attributes.body
So far, I've noticed that this book is written with a very analytical perspective. The author includes major scientific breakthroughs, graphs of information, and important history that gos in depth about the subject of superintelligence. Bostrom lays out the format of the book right from the beginning and explains that it will include history of artificial intelligence, major accomplishments, and what kind of future lies ahead for human beings. This book is full of scientific details and specific science jargon that can be confusing. Although this book may be confusing due to the scientific detail, the main theme of each chapter can be found through surrounding details and information. I think this book will be very interesting because it reveals the possibilities of robots becoming smarter than humans and the chance of extreme cognitive growth.

My first impression of "Lost Girls", was a little confusing, because it revealed a lot about the what the story was about. Otherwise, this book is very interesting because it reveals each woman's life and background so it can show how it led to make certain decisions, but this could also cause the book to drag on or get confusing due to all the different stories. I really like this book so far, it reveals a lot about how each of the characters were shaped as a person, and it is cool to see where they lived, such as poverty stricken areas. I am very interested to see how each of the women are lured into this trap set by a serial killer, due to their decisions. Reading this book is similar to looking through a different lens of life.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impressions towards this book is that I love how you can feel the education and knowledge just leap from the pages. The books beginnings are entirely focused on helping the reader understand the importance of neurology and what is studied within it. The introduction does a great job of drawing the reader in with the lack of knowledge known about the brain. This creates a since of mystery on what can be discovered within the brain. It acts as a counter to all the long tedious words that are within the book allowing for a smooth reading session.

My first impression is that this story is very fast paced, as the main character is an Olympic runner. It begins with Zamperini stranded on a life raft and switches to his childhood, so I am very interested to see the events in between these. I predict this will be a very intriguing book to read as italready captivates you by going second-by-second in his events and intense races. Overall, I am excited to see the different turns this book will take as it has already shifted many times in the first few chapters.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of this book is positive for the author's casual, relatable style and anticipation for the many different styles in the separate essays throughtout the book. Inserting details about her experience in accepting herself as a "bad feminist" like her reluctance to call herself a feminist as a teen and some of the current choices she makes everyday that are considered non-feminist actions, like dancing to songs she knows "are terrible for women", takes her off the perfect feminist pedestal and makes her more relatable to the audience.

The first sentences of "In Cold Blood" begin with a very elaborate description of the wheat plains of Kansas. It begins on a very positive note, but also provides an empty feeling while describing the small town and lifestyle of its residents. The author goes on to introduce the Clutter family, whom the event is revolved around. I have not yet read enough to understand what will take place, but as of now, I feel that the calm writing style and routine events taking place, will soon divert to tragedies.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of this book was that it was a very heartfelt book describing how underdogs can beat the odds and tackle obstacles. Within the first few chapters of this book it tells multiple stories of courage and overcoming the odds of various situations such as winning a war or playing a basketball game. For the most part this book seems like it's going to be full of surprises as it delves deeper into the idea of underdogs beating "Goliath's" of opponents and how they accomplish these feats with wit, courage, and overall audacity.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impressions of Bad Feminist, were very good. The book is written as a series of essays about feminism in society through anecdotes and references by the author. This style is very interesting as I understand a lot of things in the book because of all the illusions to pop culture I've indulged in. The impression was only bettered by the fact that the subject is on something I wish to learn about so my reading has been voracious and insightful. The authors witty style and realistic stories about things like scrabble and the nervousness of a first day of school make the book very relatable and easy to keep reading.

Maggie McDermott: David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of "David and Goliath" is the book's writing style. The author sets up his novel in a way where he shares a nonfiction story with the readers, then explains how it may relate to the main plot (underdogs overcoming the odds.) Additionally, I enjoyed the context itself and feel that various types of readers are able to appreciate the novel. As recently stated, the book is set up in a way that the writing can cater to those who enjoy reading stories, and to those who like reading informative works. I like how the author provides multiple perspectives for the short stories and some how connects them all together.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impressions from the book: everything I wanted it to be. I saw the Big Short movie a couple months ago and loved it. I figured the book would be just as interesting and also go a little more in depth... and I was right! So far it's introduced the faults in the bond market and Steve Eisman's ability to uncover them. Lewis' writing style is great, too. It's humorous and not too formal so I don't feel like I'm reading out of a finance textbook. Assuming Lewis' delivery holds up I think I will enjoy the book all the way through.

Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science by Atul Gawande

# data[].attributes.body
My first impressions on the book are very good. The overall purpose of the book is to show that no surgeon is perfect and that no matter what situation or who's in the situation, there is always a chance of failure or mistakes. Gawande shows this by  explaining the stories and how they connect with the title: "A surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science." He tells of his first few hiccups in his surgical career and how he dealt with them. After he finishes telling the story, he explains how it is connected to the title. I also overall enjoy the stories because they're so detailed, exciting, and give me a visual of the procedures in my head.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of this novel is that it is a mystery (not to say that that could not change). I was not expecting this (especially in nonfiction), but the high levels of uncertainty among the characters is surprisingly intriguing. There seems to be an abundance of variety among the novel, as well. For example, the author introduces relevant images, email snippets, and anecdotes to further tug the reader into the book. On the other hand, there seems to be a few flaws of the way the book was written; notably, in that the author likes to jump around and "skip" what seems like important information.
