My Brilliant Friend: The Graphic Novel by Chiara Lagani (Adapter), Mara Cerri (Illustrator), Ann Goldstein (Translator), Elena Ferrante (Original author) Every so often I find a book, movie, song, or some form of entertainment that I both love and hate equally at the same time. All I’m going to say about My Brilliant Friend: The Graphic Novel the story is that it is a personal read that you love or not. I wonder how much it differs from the novel(s) and if more is told […]

That Sexy Bea by Owlin

That Sexy Bear by Lin Visel and Joseph Bergin III (or Owlin) is totally and completely screwed up. And that is being really polite! I really don’t want to go on as it left a funky taste in my mouth. It feels soapy. Why? Because I needed a 10 hour bath after reading with a lot of soap to wash all the parts as the whole experience was creepy AF. OMG there are women’s breasts, and natural who-ha’s hanging out; there are a couple of […]

But that is also good as if you like the review you can run out and grab your own […]
