WARNING: Given how far we are into the series, and the fact that I’ve read the series in its entirety, this will be more discussion than review, meaning those who haven’t read this or the previous volumes should steer clear if they want to avoid spoilers. Vaughan has subjected his characters to a ton. Really put them through the emotional wringer. So why is it that it wasn’t until the second to last volume that I came to feel for these characters? I mean, I liked Yorick and […]

Web forms; filled with philosophy and politics
Web forms often stand in the way between what a person wants and how to get it when visiting a website. Many people hate filling out these forms, this may be why people choose to log in through social media accounts despite disadvantages in personal information management; there is just less standing in you way between you and what you’re trying to do. So what can we, as designers do, when we have to request information from the user? We have to ask ourselves, do […]
A World of Nevers Under a Never Sky
I kept seeing this title over and over, in Must-Read lists, in Read-Alike lists, in What-to-Read-Next lists, and in Best-Books-of-____ lists, so I finally broke down and bought it. I admit that I hesitated to purchase it because the reader reviews of the book were mixed. Some called it the best thing since Hunger Games, while others said it was just a lackluster attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the dystopian novel. The final decision was made after a favorable recommendation from a coworker […]
Textbooks, Textbooks, Textbooks…
They may technically be textbooks, but I read them from front to back. And considering how I’ve been powering through so many lately, the last thing I want to do when I have free time is read anything for myself, even something fun (guess that means more time for drawing One Direction fanart portraits… I mean… uh…??). And so, here are my reviews #13-15, for the following books: Spiritual Care and Therapy: Integrative Perspectives by Peter Van Katwyk Ethical Issues in Art Therapy (2nd Ed) […]
Which world would you choose?
“All it takes,” said Crake, “is the elimination of one generation. One generation of anything. Beetles, trees, microbes, scientists, speakers of French, whatever. Break the link in time between one generation and the next, and it’s game over forever.” We meet Snowman as he wakes up in a strange dystopian future. He sleeps in a tree, but he is not designed to live in this environment. The Crakers are. The crakers with their green eyes and their naked skin run up to Snowman and they […]
