“Rattlesnakes” By Stephen King Review

King said: “I just wrote a long story called ‘Rattlesnakes.’ And it involves, at one part, twins who are only four years old… falling into a rattlesnake pit. And the snakes get ’em. It’s a terrible scene… This novella that I’ve just written, ‘Rattlesnakes’… is actually a sequel to Cujo.”

“You Like It Darker” By Stephen King Review

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel “the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind,” and in You Like It Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.

This book is yet again another short stories collection of short stories written by Stephen King. I gotta say the more of the new books written by Stephen King I read the more I want to downgrade him as my favorite author of all time. Because for me personally his books written after the 1990s doesn’t impress nor do they make me fall in love with them as his books before and during the 1990s does. 

After reading all the short stories in this book I started to think that this book is just a collection of short stories Stephen King’s decided weren’t good enough but still decide to publish to get the paycheck from publishing this book. 

All the short stories in this book were a 1 stars reads fro me personality. And most of them dragged for far too long than they needed to me. So I found myself so many times to just to be skimming through those short stories.

If you are looking for good horror short stories you will be much better of reading the “Goosebumps” books which are more better and much scarier than the short stories in this book.

To be honest he only “dark” things about the short stories in this book are how bad they are. Most of the short stories in this book give off the feeling that Stephen King is back to taking drugs and back to his problem with alcohol.

“Mémếs: Real Fun, Real Laughs – The Ultimate Comeback!” By Archie Dean Review

Get ready to dive into a world of unfiltered humor and unmissable laughs with Mémé Real Fun, Real Laughs – The Ultimate Comeback! This collection is your ticket to endless entertainment, packed with memes that resonate, amuse, and deliver a punchline you won’t see coming. Whether you’re scrolling for a quick giggle or need a burst of joy to brighten your day, these witty gems are here to prove that memes are not just jokes—they’re a way of life. Let the laughter roll and embrace the ultimate meme experience!

I need to admit here that if you are planning to read this book, I gotta discourage you from that. Since if you are looking for good memes and a good laugh ask any 3 year old to show you funny memes and they will 100% show you more funnier memes than this book has to offer.

This entire book is just a meme each page type of book, which makes this book sort of like browsing one of those Instagram accounts with the worst memes you have ever seen in your life. Since the memes in this book are very very far from being close to being funny. 

If you are looking for a book which doesn’t involve using brainpower and where you can have a good laugh. Then I gotta repeat that once again, this book isn’t the go-to here.

“Middlegame” By Seanan McGuire Review

Meet Roger. Skilled with words, languages come easily to him. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story. Meet Dodger, his twin. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. All she understands, she does so through the power of math. Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realise it. They aren’t exactly gods, either. Not entirely. Not yet. Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Reed created Dodger and her brother. He’s not their father. Not quite. But he has a plan: to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own.

I had high expectations for this book because I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. But after trying to read it I quickly DNF-ed this book because it was very boring. But let me explain what I mean.

The plot here was all over the place, we follow way too many characters here and its very hard to get track of everyone. From the moment I started reading this book to the moment I DNF-ed I was confused all the time.

The characters here were very weak, and I just couldn’t find the strength in me to care about them or form any thoughts about them. Because my brain refused to give the characters in this book any brainpower. The characters in this book are very silly which makes this book feel like a book for 10 years old. The way the characters talked with each other in this book really made me cringe AF, because it was like the author was trying to make the characters as cartoon-ish as possible and she succeeded but in a very negative way.

When you read the summary of this book then the premise of it sounds very interesting but the moment you start reading this book you realized that the plot is very nonsensical. The entire plot just seems like it was written by second or third graders trying to write a book for themselves.

The writing style was very bad it felt like again second or third graders have written this book. The writing style gets from being very advanced to being way too simple and again to being very advanced. It was like the author couldn’t decide which writing style she wanted to use in this book, so she just went with multiple. 

I DNF-ed this book after having read around 100 pages of this book, just because this entire book was way to bad for me to handle reading the entire book.
