Chance of Failure

The Pledge by Friedrich Dürrenmatt

October 22, 2020 by blauracke Leave a Comment

When a young girl is found murdered near a small village in Switzerland, a travelling salesman is quickly accused of the crime, and the case is closed. Only one detective is convinced that the real perpetrator is still at large, and that he will strike again. The book is based on Dürrenmatt’s own screenplay for the 1958 film It Happened in Broad Daylight, which had a pedagogic purpose in raising awareness of the threat of crimes against children. Dürrenmatt was not entirely satisfied with the […]

The Austere Academy by Lemony Snicket

October 13, 2020 by octothorp Leave a Comment

You guys, even I’m getting tired of my Series of Unfortunate Events reviews. I don’t think there’s too much left to say about the books as they are very much all of a kind, and unlike the wonderful, authorless Harry Potter books, they don’t increase in complexity or thematic depth with their readers. It’s the same damn book over again: Baudelaire orphans meet their new home and a new variety of inept adult, find Count Olaf behind a disguise along with one or more of […]

Dear Faerie: AITA for Not Inviting My Step-Dad to My Wedding?

A Killing Frost by Seanan McGuire

September 24, 2020 by LittlePlat 2 Comments

  Regular disclaimer for reviews in this series: we are fourteen books in now if you can believe it. Series spoilers can’t really be avoided. So I won’t bother But seriously, fourteen books in already? With a series this long, some drops in quality are to be expected and some instalments will work better than others. I have to admit, while I enjoyed the previous book, The Unkindest Tide, it did feel a little like treading water to me. But happily, for me, A Killing […]

Ungifted by Gordon Korman

August 24, 2020 by octothorp Leave a Comment

Everyone told me that I was going to love college, and that I’d just have to grin and bear it through high school. College was okay, I actually didn’t hate high school (despite being a Daria Morgendorffer type, I quickly fell in with the artsy nerdy kids and our school was diverse enough that the teen movie style cliques didn’t really apply, everyone more or less got along with everyone else give or take), but there is no amount of money you could pay me […]

Toss a coin…etc

The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski

July 29, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 #CBR12 Bingo: Repeat (since I’ve already covered the Adaptation square) Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher. This means he roams about the countryside, travelling from place to place, killing monsters for profit. To become a Witcher, he was taken from his family as a child, and long training, magic and special potions make him a strong, fast and highly efficient killer. Based on the stories in this collection, it seems that once, there were a lot more Witchers, now they are rare and unusual, and […]

Mennonite #MeToo

Women Talking by Miriam Toews

July 20, 2020 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

Women Talking is a fictionalized story that is founded on a real story- the ‘ghost rapes’ that occurred in the Manitoba Mennonite colony in rural Bolivia between 2004 and 2009.  For years, women would awake groggy, with signs that they had been sexually assaulted.  Eventually one of the rapists is caught in the act; he confesses his role in the rapes and implicates 8 other men from the colony. Toews, who is from a Mennonite community in Canada, took this horrific story and turned it […]
