I read this book about a month ago so I’m obviously late in posting a review. I waver between thinking this is good or bad, no matter what the book, (unless you’ve read it a thousand times) it is easy to forget details of said novel; but on the other hand it could be a testament […]
This book started off with great pacing and potential, but it also had its issues. Nina Borg was too much of a goody-too-shoes constantly helping people and questioning what is the right thing? Like a girl scout earning merit badges. This sounds like an awful criticism (oh you’re too nice) but it started to get […]
This book made me angry, I found there to be six victims in this story not three, and a vast miscarriage of justice. The West Memphis Three as they have been dubbed were guilty the minute they walked into the courtroom due to a biased jury and judge. Misskelley, who clearly has some learning disabilities […]
I was so hyped up to read Mockingjay and unfortunately it did not live up to my incredibly high expectations. It was good, just not great. After District 12 is blow up like Princess Leia’s home planet, Alderaan any survivors move to District 13 who has only reemerged after years of hiding. I did not […]
Just when I thought it was kind of safe Katniss’ life goes to hell in a handbasket again. The Hunger Games are supposed to be over, but her troubles are just beginning. Catching Fire does not skip a beat going into action with the despicable President Snow who has revenge on his hands setting his […]
I had no idea what to expect when I first opened The Hunger Games. All I knew was that 12-year-olds attempt to kill each other. As I got further in the same phrase kept popping into my head “this is fucked up!” like “Survivor” on crack, and crack is whack. Right about here I should […]
The Diary of Adam and Eve is like the book “Men are from Mars Women are from Venus”. Adam and Eve are polar opposites with a complete misconception of what the other thinks of them (Eve especially). Adam would prefer to be left in peace where as Eve has gone all Snow White with the […]
To better understand these motives Jon Krakauer, the author flip-flops between the heinous, unbelievable actions of 1984 and the creation of the Mormon religion and its prophet, Joseph Smith. Discovering the golden plates and the start of the religion was very interesting but the disturbing subject of polygamy and how Fundamentalists behave then and now […]
The Great Gatsby starts out slow, like the tortoise and the hare slow, but like the tortoise its a winner. Like I said, The Great Gatsby takes a while too easy into until Daisy’s husband Tom is seen having an open affair it was a bit like wallpaper paste. But then Tom slugs his annoying, […]
At the end of The Voice on the Radio Reeve’s lawyer sister Lizzie divulges that Hannah died five years ago. So really, I’d like to know who is receiving these checks. Anyway, why wouldn’t Reeve just tell Janie this and save them all the trouble. I know why, because a) Janie wouldn’t listen and b) […]
