“The Moving Finger” By Stephen King Review

Posted in Short Story ReviewsTagged , , Leave a comment

Short story contained in the larger volume Nightmares and Drramscapes.

This short story is included in the “Nightmares and Dreamscapes” which I will be reviewing pretty soon.

To be fully honest here, short stories written by Stephen King always miss the mark with me. I always end up not liking his short stories and I don’t know why it is so. 

And this short story isn’t any different from Stephen King’s other short stories ive read in the past. 

The characters in this short story in my opinion were very boring and uninteresting. 

The plot in this one is meh as well because it was very slow, boring and uninteresting. And to be honest writing I’m writing this review the next day after reading this short story and I cant recall what the short story was about because I just didn’t bother remembering this short story because I didn’t like it so much.

The writing style here in my opinion didn’t feel like something written by the one and only master of horror. But rather by someone who have never written any books or short stories before

I Give This Book 1 / 5

Stephen King’s unparalleled imagination is in full force in this collection of four unabridged short stories originally found in the classic, Nightmares & Dreamscapes. An all-star cast of readers bring to life these timeless stories from the darkest places.

“The Flatshare” By Beth O’Leary Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they’re crazy, but it’s the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy’s at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time. But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven’t met yet, they’re about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window.

I think this book is my final Rodeo with contemporary books because I truly hated this book, and I just very quickly DNF-ed it. 

All of the characters in this book annoyed the shit out of me.  Tiffy the main character in this book imbecile who plots all the time how to get back with her ex-boyfriend. Like she honest understand when someone wants to be left alone and not be bothered by you.

The entire plot is made very very badly, to the point where the plot is almost nonexistent because all the shit which doesn’t matter for the main plot keeps getting throw in our faces all the time during reading this book. 

This book also talks a lot about emotional abuse amongst other types of abuse which well didn’t go well with me and what I like in books. 

To put this book in a very simple term, dont read it because its a waste of time and money. Its very boring, drags for far too long, uninteresting and will torture you a lot.

This book put me in the biggest reading slump ever, I didn’t have so big reading slump ever as I had after reading this book. 

This book was a very painful reading to say at the very least.

“Verity” By Colleen Hoover Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

Another book written by Colleen Hoover which I DNF-ed and which was very very bad. Why does so many people love her books so much ? All the books I’ve read written by her and just good for nothing else than to burn them after beating the shit out of them. 

The plot in this book was nonexistent and really it was a pure torture trying to read this book, so thats why I DNF-ed it so fast as I did. There are so many red flags in this book about this whole book and how are people liking this book or any of Colleen Hoover’s books? That’s this decades paradox I will never understand.

Did you hear about plot holes in books before ? This book doesn’t have them but instead they have plot craters. Because there are at least 15 plot holes I can tell you about within the first 10 chapters of this book. 

The characters here are very very bad, they are selv centered, and they are so shallow, annoying and uninteresting. To me all of the characters felt like the same f-ing character and I just couldn’t tell them apart.

My main reason for hating the characters in this book is when one of the characters attempts to murder 2 people, and the main character acts like that character just eat her ice cream like “its not a big deal”. The main character just justifies the attempt and forgives the character like double murder attempt happens everyday to everyone. Perfectly normal thing isn’t it ? Happens to everyone all the time isn’t it?

The writing style is oh boy, I dont know what to say to not be offensive and keep it under 18+. The best thing I can do is to say that the writing style felt like it was written by a horny 9 year old boy. Which isn’t a good thing when we are talking about books which you want people to like. 

Goodreads rank this book as a “thriller” book, but it feels more like “young adult worthy of hell fire” book than anything else than that. 

Just writing about this book and Colleen Hoover as a author gets me so so so angry. And the reason behind this is because I hate all over books and I dont understand why people like her so much and why people on Tik Tok hype her books so much because they aren’t worthy of the attention or even space in the book store.

The main problem I have with this book is that it exists. Which it shouldn’t.

“Cinema Speculation” By Quentin Tarantino Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , Leave a comment

In addition to being among the most celebrated of contemporary filmmakers, Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most joyously infectious movie lover alive. For years he has touted in interviews his eventual turn to writing books about films. Now, with Cinema Speculation, the time has come, and the results are everything his passionate fans—and all movie lovers—could have hoped for. Organized around key American films from the 1970s, all of which he first saw as a young moviegoer at the time, this book is as intellectually rigorous and insightful as it is rollicking and entertaining. At once film criticism, film theory, a feat of reporting, and wonderful personal history, it is all written in the singular voice recognizable immediately as QT’s and with the rare perspective about cinema possible only from one of the greatest practitioners of the artform ever.

And yet again Ive read another book written by Quentin Tarantino which didn’t work for me. I don’t know why I keep reading his books but I do and each time I end up really not liking his books.

The writing style in this book was okay, but it was far far from being good. The writing style didn’t bother me so much as other things which I will talk about in this review. 

The reason why I didn’t like this book was because this book is the constant commentary on movies, tv, directing etc. you know all the things it takes to make a movie in Hollywood. 

Don’t get me wrong I like Quentin Tarantino’s movies but reading an entire book about his movie and directing opinions isn’t for me. Especially if you look at the fact that he swears a lot in this book. Again don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with people using “bad language” but still if you gonna use “bad words” keep it to a minimum since its a nonfiction book not a rap song.

In this book the author make some very harsh person critiques like being ugly, fat and some other insults which I think you can think about. 

There were are a time when he talked about people with various disabilities like down syndrome amongst other and he called them “mongoloids” or even “pin heads” which is very very rude and would ruin your career if you weren’t making billions of money for the worst perverts and criminal on all earth which of course is Hollywood.
