I have “A Farewell to Arms” sitting on my bookshelf right now and listening to Kyrin talk about it clarified my decision as to whether I should actually pick it up. These reviews are great. The Aussie accent certainly doesn’t hurt!

I love reading. But there are only so many hours in the day, and I can't read everything that has ever been published. MM is doing a great job of reviewing the books which are actually worth reading.Read full review »

First and foremost, Kyrin and Juan have a knack for making book reviews exciting and fun, something I would’ve never thought to be so entertaining. As a light reader, it’s hard to come across a good book or recommendation when the options are endless. However, the way this is put together takes...Read full review »

Hats off to the Mere Mortals, taking the time to review some great books and share concepts within them, providing key takeaways and doing it while being entertaining.

Great stuff from Mere Mortals with this book review podcast series. They touch on a real wide array of books and give some excellent insight and takeaways. Definitely one to get stuck into even if you aren’t a huge bibliophile

My favorite Aussie’s!!! Like myself, these guys have an intense appreciation for life and an unceasing curiosity about the world that surrounds us. Their passion is evident in every word they speak and a breath of fresh air in culture that gets overshadowed by likes and followers. Keep being...Read full review »

This is a fantastic podcast for book lovers that simply do not have enough time to get through all of the books you want to read! The guys do a great job covering each book in a very informative but still fun way. Keep up the great work!

Great little summaries for me to decide if I should risk my time on a book. Thanks boys

This is a great show because I don’t have to actually read the book they are talking about because they give a in-depth exploration of the book while weaving current events into the mix. I learn a lot while laughing a lot more with them. I will recommend this to anyone that loves books and...Read full review »

I enjoy listening to Kyrin or Juan’s take on a book that I’ve read myself —or learning about different books that I wouldn’t have otherwise known about! Juan’s review of superhuman by Dave Asprey was a recent favourite of mine – also looking forward to the future book review of Jordan Peterson 12...Read full review »

I really don’t read enough, Kyrin and Juan’s awesome book reviews confirm this and inspire me to read more, both new books and to re-read my favourite books!

If you like to read book reviews, be assured that you've never read book reviews like those presented by Juan and Kyrin at Mere Mortals Book Reviews. They not be professional critics, but that's exactly what makes their reviews so interesting. The two guys have a style all of their own,...Read full review »

First off, one of the things I really enjoyed about listening to this review was that it was long enough to give me a real sense of what the book is about and whether I'd like it. While also at the same time not going on so long as to feel that the review was dragging or that all the good...Read full review »

Kyrin & Juan are on a remarkable journey of knowledge! I am hooked! So excited to see a podcast committed to book reviews, it gives me an insight into how they are acquiring, and improving upon their knowledge. I can’t wait to see how this podcast evolves!
JacquesMassie via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/19/21
Mere Mortals book reviews are enjoyable, clear and interesting. I love the way they go through all the book, part by part talking about certain details, and then there’s the general analysis of the whole book itself. As a person who loves reading, I really like reviews that are NOT summaries, but...Read full review »

Juan thanks for share great insight into this book. Eddie’s approach to live and the messages he shares in the book are powerful. A really important one you mention was understanding your morals. I think it’s important we all spend a bit of time understanding what morals and beliefs align with...Read full review »

I use this podcast as an extra resource for my English students and their readings. The reviews identify many of the key themes and features that the students are likely to connect with. The reviews are interesting and lively and are worth listening to for anyone that loves to read.

Kyrin and Juan choose books on topics that I have read about before on a limited scale. What they do when they hit a topic I’m more curious about is that I can now decide to go deeper on a particular subject and if that particular book fits what I seek. Great resource when there are so many...Read full review »

These guys are consistently uploading all the time and never fail to meet their quota of 1 podcast a day. Love their work and it’s been awesome to see their podcast develop on not just a technical level with all the cameras and mics but also with their ability to keep the conversation interesting...Read full review »

Books are great, but bad books are not so great. I like listening to this particular podcast because you can a great summary of the highs and lows of a heap of books on my reading list and get to essentially try before you buy. I also like comparing notes with my own thoughts on a pre-read book...Read full review »

As someone who reads religiously, I love the idea of providing book reviews. Almost like your own private book club - definitely recommend!
Sennn96 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/18/21
Firstly, the lads review some great books. Secondly, they review them in an entertaining manner. Thirdly, their reviews are comprehensive, thoughtful, and practical, not only speaking on the synopsis, but also highlighting key observations and pragmatic takeaways.
