Review: Fables, Vol. 1: Legends in Exile

Fables, Vol. 1: Legends in Exile Fables, Vol. 1: Legends in Exile by Bill Willingham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Somehow I've never encountered those stories before, but I definitely find them a good read. All the Fables are mixed up and it's truly fun read. I might not be the biggest fan of the drawing style, but the story makes up for it. My favourite character is definitely Bigby and I'll be looking forward to reading more about him.
The story itself is about missing Fable and all the process of finding out what happened to her. Detective is quite special, a bit like Colombo. The whole thing is good stuff, worth a read.

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

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,...
