Fighting the book

The Book That Did Not Want to Be Read by David Sundin

March 28, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When good words go bad you get this book. This book is called The Book That Did Not Want to Be Read by David Sundin. The nonsense is trying to be clever but falls flat. However, there will be a reader some place, somewhere, that will say that this is the most wonderful and fantastic book ever. This is not a book for everyone. It is a book for that one person who has an odd sense of what a good book is. While I […]

There really were too many bare behinds in this

A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein

February 15, 2022 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

You love him. You hate him. But either way this classic is still here. I realized as I was reading A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein, I do not think I have actually read a Silverstein book cover to cover. Maybe The Giving Tree, but I could not say for sure.  I do know that I have read poems from/had poems read from a few books. And, in fact two that I remember from here, (though mostly the idea of them and not […]

One review, extra salty

Tender Wings of Desire by Harland Sanders

May 12, 2017 by alwaysanswerb 5 Comments

Well, Pajiba beat me to it with the review, but I also read Tender Wings of Desire and can confirm there is no sex of any bestial double entendre in this book. And honestly, we should all count ourselves grateful, because in the age of 4chan, I think the greatest Mother’s Day gift we can all give is a world that continues to be free of the canonical sexploits of Antebellum Creepy Uncle. So, without feather ado, here’s the rest of the “review”: The “plot,” […]

As if I were no more than a possession for these two creatures to fight over.

The Devourers by Indra Das

February 19, 2017 by borisanne 12 Comments

Dear Cannonball Readers: I am so sorry. I voted for The Devourers for this Book Club Read. I thought it looked awesome. I hated it. This review is a two-star review. Because yes, I hated it, but the end was just okay. It finally picked up. Something finally happened. There was a point. The point was aggravating and boring and seriously not worth it, but it was finally there. These shapeshifters are full of some damn nonsense. You’re a superior creature, but your social rules […]
