About This Podcast

Welcome to 50/50 Books - the book review podcast where the books are split in two and figuring out just what is going on is always a toss up! Hosts Taylor and Jonathan discuss each book in two episodes. First, they read about half the book (they'll let you know where to read to) and provide thoughts and theories. In the second episode, they'll see just how much they got wrong (a lot) and talk about their overall reviews, thoughts, and remaining confusions.
