Humor & Satire
Review:I loved this movie when it first came out, especially being a John Cusack fan and was of course tempted to read the book and I'm glad I Did!! The book is hilarious as and I could not put it down. Sarah's character was so relatable yet not your typical female.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend to anyone with a hopeless romantic look at life. Read more
Review:John Lanchester is a very talented writer, and his prose has the feel of silk and the sound of music. It is simply intoxicating to hear his voice, but no matter how intoxicating all voices become weary after a while, especially when it becomes obvious that the deep sonorous voices are saying nothing at all.
"Capital" is an ambitious novel, attempting to capture the social, cultural, and economic milieu of London just before, during, and after the 2008 global financial crisis. The story ... Read more
Review:I have 234 books through kindle and this would have to be the worst book I have even read, badly written, very little story line and I was always hoping for more on every page and it failed on every page. Read more
Review:This was a fantastic light read. While the main character's numerous misadventures seemed overwhelming at times, I chuckled with almost every page. I would highly recommend it if you have ever worked in the service industry and are looking for something to help brighten your day. Read more
Review:I really enjoyed this book. How inspiring to see this relationship develop even with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The leading man, Sam, is in a unique situation and has a wonderfully positive character without being over-the-top. He's not perfect, but you'll love him. Millie suffers from low self-esteem that appears to be based on a predominantly imagined self-image. She suffers from over-thinking and a cowardly approach to fighting for what she wants. She's leans toward "run and h... Read more
Review:This was an entertaining story. The major characters were 'interesting'. For the most part they were jerks, but the kind of somewhat likable jerks that many of us have met at a gaming table at some point. Even though none of them were people I would want at my table for very long, there was none of them that I was hoping would get killed off or imprisoned and be written out of the story. The plot was fairly lightweight as you would expect for a humor story of this sort, it was entertaining thoug... Read more
Review:I really liked the first book in this series. It was an inventive concept where geeks find out that they can manipulate a computer file and travel back in time and gain magical powers. The second one was OK, but didn't really add much. The third one is even more underwhelming.
Basically as the title suggests, there's a quest sort of like LOTR or D&D games. An enemy of the geeks traps them in a video game where they have to complete his rather easy, mundane tasks. The characters a... Read more
Review:I recommend this series to everyone who likes their horror & comedy in equally shocking proportions. You know the book is great when you can't stop reading while simultaneously not wanting the story to end. These books gave me a glimpse into a world that I will return to as often as possible. Dave & John are the anti-heroes of a generation. To the author I say bravo sir, job well done. Read more
Review:The book itself is great I love Chuck Palahniuk he is an amazing author. The book I bought has writing in it and it didn't tell me that when I bought it, but I cant really complain seeing as I bought it for $0.69 Read more
Review:Once upon a time, I joked that Margaret Atwood could write about a walk to the grocery store in such a way that it became a dangerous, harrowing, terrifying experience that prompted readers to question every aspect of the universe. Such a walk could lead to a deep examination of every facet of the human experience, and in analyzing our collected data, we would find ourselves severely lacking. Anyone we passed on the three block walk to the store would make us hyper aware of our flaws, our shortc... Read more
