Robyn Robotron's Reviews:

The internet ruins more of my childhood.

December 2, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

Just like the World’s Fair (see my last review), the internet has taken a lot of steam away from Ripley’s Believe It Or Not.  Reading this did make me want to visit my local Odditorium, though.

Tesla was there, but Twain wasn’t.

If you’re a fan of history or reading about serial killers, you should check out this book.  Sorry for the generic lead-in, my mind doesn’t want to work right now.

Would you like some pretension with your racism?

Is it possible to get a refund from a free box?  That is the question this book raises.

Nick Offerman is just like Ron Swanson in all the right ways.

And for reference, I’m your typical Commie-Liberal-Feminist.  But, even if you’re not, you’ll probably love him anyway. (Side Note- I’m kinda weirded it out that no one posted anything since my last post from yesterday.  Is it always like this towards the end?)

The Hunger Games meets Cube

While my interest was vaguely piqued by the movie trailer, I probably wouldn’t have picked this up if I hadn’t been at LAX waiting for a flight.  It was alright, though.

Neil Gaiman writing about Norse mythology?  No way, not him.
