How we choose booksFinding your way around this shelf
Check the central character's outlook and the relationships that develop between episodes. The profiles describe the journey and emotional tone. Choose by the company you want on the road, and read the context if sympathy alone is not enough to make a difficult subject appealing.
Humor is personal. Our labels describe supported traits, not a promise that every reader will find the same things funny. How we classify books.
