Book A + Book B = Book C

I had a few people tell me they liked a review I did the other day in which I characterized a book I had read as the combination of two other books I enjoyed, so I figured I would make an entire blog post with that approach. The approach is simple: I take two books that have certain aspects that stood out for me (some more loosely than others) and then combine them into the next closest book I can think of. I hope you enjoy it.
