A Farewell to Arms and A Book to Throw
A Farewell to Arms is an iconic piece, often on many top ten charts of classics. Hemingway’s prose is excellent, and the majority of the book is exquisite. His ending reminds us all that life is not fair. Even worse, the ending ruins an enduring book that is otherwise marvelous.

A Man Called Ove. Runner-Up in Critique Challenge.
Old man. Grump. Bloody youngens these days. Society is doomed. This bloody cat again. Why can’t everyone just leave me alone? Can I just die in peace already? This food is pretty good. Cat’s alright too, I guess. Suppose I have to save the neighbourhood myself. Life ain’t so bad.

Sleeping Beauties by Owen and Stephen King
I used to be a major Stephen King fan, but this book destroyed any enjoyment his work gave me. It is dull and drawn out way too long for no more of a plot than it has. Plus, the actions of the people are unbelievable. I don’t recommend this book.

2024 Snow White
Not out yet, but let’s talk! Andrew Burnap’s character will not be a prince. No prince? Couldn’t Disney at least put one that helps grow Snow White as a character? What about someone they expect her to marry but chooses different like Beauty and the Beast? How will this go?

Jurassic Park. Top Story - August 2023.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. This is a lesson that scientists always seem to learn the hard way in books and on film. Just ask Dr. Frankenstein.

Crime and Punishment
Dostoyevsky dissects the Russian soul's darkest sides: desperation, violence, late remorse. Doom and gloom. Even Sonya, one tiny ray of light in complete darkness, gets punished for love.

Love like this will, surely come my way
Ineffable emotions are contained within this simple story. Good Omens 2 takes to a second series like a duck to frozen peas.

Barbie Review
“Barbie” was one of the best movies that I have seen in a while. She evoked true empathy for both women and men. I have never seen a movie capture the topic of gender equality in such a sweet, yet strong way. It was very creative! Bravo and well done!
