Review:I don't deny that Kafka has a very out-of-the-box way of writing, but to be honest it didn't do it for me. While I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for a light/fun read, if you're looking for something that will test your grip on reality, I'd take a gander. Definitely gets you talking. Read more

Review:I don't know what I was expecting but this wasn't what I thought. It was well written and I did laugh a few times but I thought the stories should have been chronological. The author probably had a reason . I read the whole book so it kept my attention Read more

Review:My reaction on Artemis Fowl
I give my book 5 stars. My book is about a boy named Artemis, he is 13 years old, and he is a total nutcase. Artemis has been trying to find his father ever since he was 9 years old. His father disappeared on a plane. So his mother says.
Artemis noticed that when he was looking through pitchers that his dad looks kind of like his teacher.
The characters in this story are K'ell Goblin he is a very mean person who doesn't like tourists, Mud people they are peo... Read more

Review:The plot thickens ! Ben Aaronovitch continues to weave police procedural into intriguing urban fantasy with this book, though as the mysteries across the series continue to mount, I wonder when we'll see any actual denouement for any of the ongoing intrigues. Read more

Review:Spelltastic! Rapacious! Phenomenal! Cassie Palmer has opened a can of "whoopass" in Hunt the Moon. Karen Chance has created an urban fantasy junkie's dream! You can find it all in this gem, time travel, vampires, demons, fey, and mages to name a few. Cassie is beyond awesome, her ability to make you come back for more is endless. Hot and steamy vampire love with the sexy and dominate Mircea, are what dreams are made of. Pritkin sheds his duster and gives us a glimpse of the man underneath... Read more

Review:Typically, there's something an author puts forth, something that he assumes is correct, that irks me--not the case with this book.

Briefly: Television, by its very nature and design, is meant to entertain. Therefore, important subjects like politics, schooling, and religion, when displayed on television, are no longer well-reasoned, important subjects, but merely are molded to become entertaining subjects. Television is good for trite shows, but bad when trying to display rational discou... Read more

Review:LOVE Peter Falk, and this book is just fabulous. Short, entertaining, often laugh-out-loud funny vignettes of his life experiences as an actor, producer, artist, and more. Falk was such an enormous artistic, creative talent who quite simply knew how to tell a story. LOVED this book. Read more

Review:I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend, and because I am generally a fan of B.J. Novak (I love The Office and I find Novak's childrens' book hilarious). I was a little disappointed. I expected a lot more laugh-out-loud moments. Instead a got a few chuckles and mostly a lot of, for lack of a better word, weirdness. It's not a bad read, just kind of odd. The short-story format is nice for a busy schedule (I picked it up and read a story or two at a time when I could find a few m... Read more

Review:This book was recommended as something "all women of all sizes" should read on a blog I follow. The amazon description also implies that it's a self-love promoting book for everyone. Within the first few chapters, it becomes apparent that the target audience is obese women, not "women of all sizes" and there's next to nothing in it for women of a not-obese size who have body image issues. Around the entire chapter yelling at me that obese women are often healthier than "skinny" women, which ju... Read more
