Review: Zane: The Wild One

Zane: The Wild One Zane: The Wild One by Bronwyn Jameson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

*Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this book*
I don't know what to think about this story. It might have not been my best choice. I'm not super familiar with manga, though I saw some of. I do like the drawings, especially those famous manga eyes. I liked how everything was presented and how well played out. The story, on the other hand... Well, it's the reason I've never liked Harlequin books. The plot is simple and painfully obvious. There's a good girl, bad boy, little town gossip and happy end. I kind of feel stupider after reading this... I don't think I'll reach for another Harlequin - in any form, but manga might have a chance to appear on my reading list.

Review: The Little Book of Sloth Philosophy

Obraz
The Little Book of Sloth Philosophy by Jennifer McCartney My rating: 5 of 5 stars I think this is going to be a book, that I'll be giving as a gift to everyone :) Not that it's so deep and profound, but because it shows how to live simply. It's also funny and short. Perfect for reading in pieces or as a whole. Illustrations are super cute, too. And there's of course sloth - most adorable role model ever. He lives his life slowly, but that's the point - take your time, be good to yourself, screw what others think. So you know - live slow die whenever. Great stuff! View all my reviews

Review: Pill

Obraz
Pill by Robert Bennett My rating: 5 of 5 stars *I have received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher" I've requested this book, thinking that it's about how pills were created. It has turned out that it's something else, something so much better! The author tells the story of the Pill, the One that we pop every day (at least once), to be happy. Or chill, or fall asleep, or whatever. It's our new religion - psychopharmacology. Robert Bennett has a bit odd way of telling this story - he's showing us how the meds work through a series of examples: literature and movies mostly. It can be slightly annoying at times, but overall it makes the book easier to read. I truly enjoyed how the author is telling the story and how he's asking the questions about our reality/society. It's a book placed in the USA, but I believe it could be about any given civilised country. Psychotropic meds are gaining its popularity,...
