Rating: 4 stars I’m trying to think to of why this book didn’t get five stars, and it’s hard to explain. This book was good, an original idea, a less classical approach to storytelling (which is something I go goo-goo for), so I’ll break it down. The story is that…

Rating: 3 stars Short version: This is about the best rating I could give to this type of thriller, which is good but doesn’t look to ask any deeper questions despite appearing to do so. Also it’s a confusion of about four different stories. Long version: I made the same…

Rating: 5 stars I read this self-proclaimed novella in a small break before my next hold is ready at the library, and I was very happy with my choice! It’s a Robin Hood fable but with frogs. That’s about all you need to know, though I don’t mind going into…

Rating: 5 stars When, I first read this book, I had a hard figuring out what genre this book exactly is. Is it dystopian? Only if you count modern China as it. Is it Sci-Fi? There’s very little Sci-Fi to it. In fact, it’s relegated to a few sentences in…

Rating: 0 stars, the worst book I have ever read Quick note before I start. When I review a book, I usually write down a few pointers and notes that I want to remark on. This time I had about 40. Good or bad? Well, 2 out of 5 stars…

Rating: 4 stars When I was getting my undergrad, I met a few people that thought the punchline was the most important part of a joke. In fact, it was so important that it didn't matter what else the person had to say. I'm sure someone has met a few…

Rating: 4.5 stars This book surprised me two times. Once because it was lot better than I expected it to be. Second because the epilogue fell a little bit flat after my expectations got raised. It wasn’t anything thematic about the ending that was wrong, but I wanted something harder…

Rating: 4 stars When I began reading this novella (I have no idea what the classifications for this work would be, but it was definitely longer than a short story and shorter than a book), I was expecting something like a collection or anthology. Instead, what I got were several…

Rating: 4 stars I think the most exceptional part of this book is that it managed to hold my attention. Side story: I was reading the reviews on the back of the book, and while my conclusion was similar to many of them, I wouldn’t ever say it like they…

Rating: 2 stars I was disappointed with this book, really, really disappointed. I thought the basics (as I’ve called it before, the profession of writing) was all right, but for a book that talks about the impact of words (especially the boisterous, loud defenses of it in reviews on the…
