Tesla was there, but Twain wasn’t.

November 22, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

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.

I’m not entirely sure what the protagonist went out drinking, but I doubt I’d want any of it

November 21, 2014 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars Pretty much exactly a year after his girlfriend Merrin Williams was found raped and murdered, Ignatius “Ig” Perrish wakes up after getting blackout drunk and discovers horns spouting from his forehead. He’s not entirely sure they’re not a hallucination at first, but when he discovers how people behave around him due to the horns, he realises that they are sadly all too real. Turns out the horns make everyone around him spill their deepest, darkest secrets. They confess to their most shameful wishes […]

Only because it’s dark and things got rather confusing, they end up with four ladies and one really rather pissed off Duke, who […]

More like museum of obsession and drudgery

November 20, 2014 by AamilTheCamel Leave a Comment

Thirty-sixth book reviewed as part of the 130 Challenge. It’s really difficult to capture the uneasy feeling of longing and desire that one gets when one can’t have their way. Some of us succumb to it and fall prey to obsession, going to great (and sometimes ugly) lengths to get what we want; almost always failing to get it. We all deal with such a heartbreak at least once in a lifetime and it is rare that someone comes out of it unscathed. So why would […]
