“Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America’s Youth” By Ben Shapiro Review

When parents send their children off to college, mom and dad hope they’ll return more cultivated, knowledgeable, and astute–able to see issues from all points of view. But, according to Ben Shapiro, there’s only one view allowed on most college a rabid brand of liberalism that must be swallowed hook, line, and sinker. In this explosive book, Ben Shapiro, a college student himself, reveals how America’s university system is one of the largest brainwashing machines on the planet. Examining this nationwide problem from firsthand experience, Shapiro shows how the leftists who dominate the universities–from the administration to the student government, from the professors to the student media–use their power to mold impressionable minds. Fresh and bitterly funny, this book proves that the universities, far from being a place for open discussion, are really dungeons of the mind that indoctrinate students to become socialists, atheists, race-baiters, and narcissists.

Finally I got to read a Ben Shapiro book, and it truly lived up to my expectations. Because it was very, very good.

Reading this book 15 + years after it was published in a way takes the wind out of it. Because since the time this book was published things got way out of hands when it comes to college and the woke mob terrorising everyone.

This book is the first book which Ben Shapiro written, and even thou it is his first book it truly shows how skilled3 writer Ben Shapiro is. 

This book is over 250+ pages long (depending on what version of this book you get) but it didn’t stop me from reading this book in one sitting because I couldn’t stop reading it and it being so interesting and enjoyable.

Ben Shapiro makes some very good points here, which I totally agree with. Even thou some of his points might be outdated they shows us how the the left controls universities in USA and how fucked up it is to be in college when you are a conservative.

No matter what age you are, you won’t have any problems reading this book because it is very straight-forward and is easy to read.

Ben Shapiro in this book gives us various different areas of the college where conservatives are better not to speak their opinion because if they do they will be thrown out of the university by an angry woke mob.

One down side of this book are the too many generalisable statements made in this book. Which is pretty the biggest no-no for me.

But also this book was published in 2004 which means its pretty outdated because since then the woke mob is on the insane level and terrorizing everyone for even speaking one word if you are on the right wing.

The writing style in this book is very good. It’s pretty rough at times but overall its very good. 

I Give This Book 4 / 5

“Fetch” By Scott Cawthon Review

After years of being kicked around, Greg, Alec, and Oscar are ready to take control of their lives. Greg decides to put the controversial science he’s been studying to the test. Alec launches a master plot to expose his golden sister for the spoiled brat he knows she is. And Oscar, ever the miniature grown-up his mom needs him to be, decides to take something he wants even though he knows it’s wrong. But as these three will learn, control is a fragile thing in the sinister world of Five Nights at Freddy’s.

This book is the second book in the “Five Nights at Freddy’s: Fazbear Frights” series, which I happen to dislike more and more with every book in this series. 

Even thou the authors of this book try to sell this book as “horror” this book and the entire series so far happens to be “thriller” at the best. It doesn’t have ay scary moments but at times it has some good thriller moments. 

If you are like me and reading this series for the first time as an adult will make you not like it as much as you would if you were a child reading this series. Because the scary factor in this book and the entire series so far isn’t scary for adults but for children it will be scary.

My main problems with this book is that it is very cliched and all of the character in this book are very annoying and they are the most obnoxious characters I’ve ever encountered.

The writing style here is good for 7 graders but if you are adult reading this book you will absolutely hate the writing style.

“Reasons to Vote for Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide” By Michael J. Knowles Review

The most exhaustively researched and coherently argued Democrat Party apologia to date, “Reasons To Vote For Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide” is a political treatise sure to stand the test of time. A must-have addition to any political observer’s coffee table. “Thorough”—Ben Shapiro, nationally syndicated columnist and New York Times bestselling author

This book is one of the best books I’ve read last year. Because it contains all the reason why someone should vote for democrats.

This book is a very quick read, even thou it has 220 pages (depending on what version of this book you get) but you fully will be able to read this book in one sitting. Because this book is so interesting.

This book is brutally honest about the reasons why someone should vote for democrats. And all of the reason in this book speaks very loudly for themselves and they are the reason why this book is so good.

This book is a huge page-turner and is very enjoyable and interesting. Because this book tells us everything a voter should know about the left in USA.

This book have some heavy topics like crime, government economics, jobs, immigrations and civil rights. But despite these heavy topics this book is very simple to read.

At the same time this book is very enlightening and Michael Knowles gives us an well researched book with everything we should know about the democrats as they grow crazier and crazier every year.

“The Gambler” By Fyodor Dostoevsky Review

In this dark and compelling short novel, Dostoevsky tells the story of Alexey Ivanovitch, a young tutor working in the household of an imperious Russian general. Alexey tries to break through the wall of the established order in Russia, but instead becomes mired in the endless downward spiral of betting and loss. His intense and inescapable addiction is accentuated by his affair with the General’s cruel yet seductively adept niece, Polina. In The Gambler, Dostoevsky reaches the heights of drama with this stunning psychological portrait.

Yet again another Dostoevsky book which haven’t quite worked for me personally. 

This book had for sure a unique plot which really surprised me. Even thou the plot here was unique it didn’t grab my attention nor my interested in it.

The characters here were pretty flat and shallow. I found ever character in this book to be very boring and uninteresting and I just didn’t bother remembering their names. Because one of the issues I have with the characters in this book is that they feel like the same character but in different clothes.

This book gives us some very bad and at the same time very predictable advices if you will about the dangers of gambling. 

The writing style in this book was far from being great but in my opinion the writing style was the best part of this book. 

In my opinion this book dragged for far too long. There might be just me not being a fan of classics but that’s just my opinion.

This book had some good moments here and there, but these moments were very rare and it really wasn’t enough for me.

The narration style here was far from the best, and at the very best it was bad. Again it might be just me again not being fan of the majority of classics.

“The Double” By Fyodor Dostoevsky Review

In The Double, the protagonist, Golyadkin senior, is persecuted by his double, Golyadkin junior, who resembles him closely in almost every detail. The latter abuses the former with mounting scorn and brutality as the tale proceeds toward its frightening denouement. Characteristic Dostoyevskyan themes of helplessness, victimization, and scandal are beautifully handled here with an artistry that qualifies the story as a small masterpiece.

Why is it so hard to find a Dostoevsky book which I will actually enjoy? 

As you may expect I didn’t like this book a lot, I think it was okay to read but unfortunately nothing more than that.

The beginning and middle of this book were quite interesting. But the more you get closer to the end, the worse this book becomes in my opinion. The middle was really got to grab your attention but the longer to further into this book you got the more confusing it got. 

The ending went really down the hill in this book. Because there was a lot of things happening and well the writing style doesn’t make it better. The ending in a way left me confused and not knowing what to think about this book. Because it was all over the place in my opinion. 

The writing style in this book was very heavy, and as someone who isn’t accustomed to read so heavy books I got a little confused at times. But still in overall opinion it was really Dostoevsky to write in such a heavy way.

The plot in this book is a little all over the place, and well it was for sure very unique. The plot in this book will for sure leave you scratching your head over it that’s what at least happened to me.

The main character in this book overused way too much the person’s name to whom he is speaking when he is speaking to that person. He is also in need of medical treatment. 

And the rest of the character were really a blur, because they were there but we didn’t get to know a lot about them. So I really can’t say a lot about them.

The narrator here is a odd one for sure. Because the narrator is all over the place and is very unreliable. And this in a way leaves us in a unsure state about the main character in this book.

Even thou I wasn’t the biggest fan of this book, I see what Dostoevsky was trying to do here.

“Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds” By Michael J. Knowles Review

Will we shut down drag queen story hour, or cancel Abraham Lincoln? For 170 years the First Amendment was compatible with prayer in public school How the atheists got the Warren Court to rule their way To this day, there’s a First Amendment exception for obscenity. What exactly is the argument that perverts’ teaching toddlers to twerk is not obscene?  Read Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds if you want to learn how to take the fight to the enemy.

This book is incredible, this book is fully worth reading because of so many reasons. After reading this book, Im gonna start recommending this book to anyone who would listen to my book recommendations. Because this book is a must read for everyone or at least must read for people who aren’t willing to let the left wing brainwash them.

The writing style in this book is amazing, its like Michael Knowles knows what words to use to exactly grab your attention from the first sentence. Only from the writing style we learn how sharp and intelligent Michael Knowles is.

This book is very well researched and put together to give us a lot of knowledge in just 250 + pages (depending on what version you get). 

I read this book in one day, even thou I needed to get some breaks while reading this book to think about what I just read before continuing. Because this book makes a lot of good points and it gives you a lot of valid information.

This book talks about a lot of things all from language, speech and political correctness all the way to the first amendment and what “freedom of speech” is according to the woke mob. Which is trying to make a Orwellian dystopia.

Micheal Knowles in this book shows how free speech is now controlled by the left and how the simplest human rights are turned and twisted by the left in a way which will suit them the best.

Michael Knowles also talks about how the cancel culture and the PC has taken root in the USA culture and how badly it affects Americans way of both thinking and behaving not only on the left but also on the right wing.

This book amongst other things shows us how the left have turned religions into a bad thing. 

Micheal Knowles gives us easy and simple explanation of how the left is shifting standards to undermine traditional American values in hopes to create a Orwellian dystopia. Where you who doesn’t agree with the angry mob shall be cancelled, lose your job and be trash talked.

At the same time, this book shows us how the left controls their followers and how they twist and change meaning of various words just because they thing that someone finds it offensive, even thou no one does.

This book has a lot of amazing points it makes, and it would be impossible to unpack them all in a single review.

“After We Collided” By Anna Todd Review

Tessa has everything to lose. Hardin has nothing to lose… except her. Hardin will always be… Hardin. But is he really the deep, thoughtful guy Tessa fell madly in love with despite his angry exterior—or has he been a stranger all along? She wishes she could walk away. It’s just not that easy. Not with the memory of passionate nights spent in his arms. His electric touch. His hungry kisses.

Another book in the After series is finished. And I need to come clean here and say that with each passing book so far in this series I love this series more and more. Which is really strange because when I started reading this series I was expecting to hate it but it being two books deep in this series I love it more and more.

One of the reason why I love this book (and this whole series) is because it feels so real, and not like fiction. Hardin’s and Tessa’s relationship feels like a real life relationship and all of the characters feels like real human beings which is the reason why this book (and whole series so far) has me head over heels for it.

Both Tessa and Hardin gets more depth to them in this book than what they had in the first book. But they also become much more likeable. And you can truly see the changes which happen to them with each passing book in this series.

And the rest of the characters keeps improving from the first book just as Tessa and Hardin did. Which really makes me fall in love with this book (and this whole seres) more and more.

In this book we also get very little of Tessa’s mother which really makes me so glad, because I really hate Tessa’s mother because she is so manipulative and even more toxic than Hardin. And the less we get from Tessa’s mother the more happier I become.

In a way this book is much better than the first book in this series, because this book is the first book which made me cry couple of times which really never happened before.

This book have so many ups and downs that you really lose track of them. But in a way all of these ups and downs we get in this book make this book feel so much as real life which 

The writing style in this book is very easy and simple. Which really makes this book to a really quick read even thou this book has around 700 pages which depends on which version of this book you get.

This book is longer than the first book in this series. But the moment you get into it, it just flys by way to quickly. Because you get so sucked into the book that you can’t stop reading it and before you know it you have finished it. So if you loved the first book in this series as much as I did don’t be afraid of the bigger size of this book because it will be a very quick read.

This book is just as addictive as the first book, because even thou I wasn’t reading this book for days at end I couldn’t stop thinking about this book and what would happen next in this book. Which really happens rarely to me when it comes to being addicted to a single book.

This book took me longer time to finish than the first book because I read it slowly because I didn’t want the book to end because it was so fucking perfect.

The ending leaves us on a huge cliffhanger just as the first book did. But this time the cliffhanger doesn’t involve Tessa’s and Hardin’s relationship but something else which is closely related to Tessa.

“The Last Wish” By Andrzej Sapkowski Book Review

Geralt the Witcher—revered and hated—is a man whose magic powers, enhanced by long training and a mysterious elixir, have made him a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent.  But not everything monstrous-looking is evil and not everything fair is good… and in every fairy tale there is a grain of truth.

Its important to mention before we start this review that this book isn’t the first book published in The Witcher series, but this book is the one to start this The Witcher book series with.

This book isn’t a typical novel because it is a collection of 6 short stories which introduces you as a reader to the world in the series and to various characters in the universe which Geralt have or had some kind of relationship with at some point through out the life span of the book series. 

I personally am not a fan of a book which is basically a collection of short stories like this book is. Which may explain why I give this one the rating I give. 

The writing style is pretty okay but there are times where the writing goes down hill for awhile. As well as there are times when the writing style feels like a cross between Harry Potter and A Song of Ice and Fire Series.

I had high expectations for this book because of the bad as games. But unfortunately this book didn’t leave up to my expectations. 

However this book needs to get points for the fun fairytale vibe which it has. But also for the fun way the author have mixed seriousness and humor in this book.

The characters are pretty okay. There are some good characters and there are some annoying characters. Which you can pretty much expect from a book series. 

If you want me to be honest with you then you got to know that this book is more or less a load of dated,  men-centered together with male-gazey nonsense mixed together with dubious logic and no understanding of morality or human nature.

Yeah the book the book didn’t go well with me. 

There were times when you got the vibe that the author mostly had no idea what he is talking about, especially when it came to women being involved.

The world which we get in this book is incredible and I would love to know more about it and get some different stories out of it. But this book really doesn’t use the potential of the characters nor the world. 

I need also give this book points for the cool and different approach to high fantasy which is very distinct from Tolkien books and stories. 

I need to mention that there were some generic epic fantasy issues especially when it comes to mundane sexism. But of course I cant mention them because this is a spoiler free review.

When it comes to the dialogues in this book. The dialogue were pretty uneven kindly said. There were times where the dialogues had probably way too much exposition and varied very wildly in tone to each other.

The whole mythology behind this book was pretty impressing when it comes to all the things which wasn’t so great in this book.

I give this book 3 / 5

“Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime” By Oscar Wilde Review

‘He was not blind to the fact that murder, like the religions of the Pagan world, requires a victim as well as a priest…’ Wilde’s supremely witty tale of dandies, anarchists and a murderous prophecy in London high society.

This book had really surprised me a lot because I haven’t expected this book to be as good as it actually was.

The book is very short but there is a lot of things happening in this book, which will make you interesting and even chuckle at times because of how bad luck the main character has in his actions.

The plot here is pretty strange, because it feels like there is a little happening but at the same time it feels like there is a lot of things happening.

The ending has a strange turn of the events which I personally liked a lot. The ending itself made me give this book an extra star. 

The characters here are pretty flat, and all of the characters seems pretty boring and uninteresting.

The writing style here was pretty okay, even thou it had the potential to be better Oscar Wilde haven’t used it.

It was my first book written by Oscar Wilde so I can say what type of author he was or anything about his other work because I haven’t read any of them at the time of writing this review.

“Into the Pit” By Scott Cawthon & Elley Cooper Review

Five Nights at Freddy’s fans won’t want to miss this pulse-pounding collection of three novella-length tales that will keep even the bravest player up at night . . . What do you wish for most? It’s a question that Oswald, Sarah, and Millie think they know the answer to. Oswald wishes his summer wasn’t so boring, Sarah wishes to be beautiful, and Millie wishes she could just disappear from the face of the earth. But in the twisted world of Five Nights at Freddy’s , their hearts’ deepest desires have an unexpected cost.In this volume, Five Nights at Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon spins three sinister novella-length stories from different corners of his series’ canon, featuring cover art from fan-favorite artist LadyFiszi. Readers This collection of terrifying tales is enough to unsettle even the most hardened Five Nights at Freddy’s fans.

I personally had no expectations for this book because I played five nights at Freddy’s video games and I wasn’t a fan of them. But I decided to give this whole franchise another shot. Which this franchise didn’t use it in my opinion.

This book includes 3 separate horror short stories. And in reminded me in a way of the “are you afraid of the dark?” Books, but these two series can’t be compared because this book series seems like it tries way too much to be like  “are you afraid of the dark?”.

Overall this book felt like it was trying to be as similar to the “are you afraid of the dark?” Books that it forgot to be unique and speak to the reads in its own way rather than to pretend to be a “are you afraid of the dark?” Book. 

All of the 3 separate horror short stories which this book has were pretty short. The first short story was very good and interesting but the 2 last once was very boring and very annoying at times. Which really annoyed me because the first short story hyped us to expect more very good stories but the 2 last once just gave us the middle finger.

All of the 3 separate horror short stories takes place in the Five Nights at Freddy’s universe. So there are connected in a way so its important to read them all to get the full picture of this franchise. But if you played the games and you didn’t like them then I would recommend to not read this book because it doesn’t get any better.

All of the characters in these 3 horror stories aren’t the best to be fully honest here. They had some good moments but for the most of the time they are very annoying and unlikeable.

The writing style feels like it was written for pre-schoolers because it is way to simple. But I don’t know what reasonable parent would let their pre-schooler read horror stories.
