A Review of Psycho 1959 by Robert Bloch This is a very famous story, which, along with its main themes and characters, have crossed genres, audiences, ages and preferences. Psycho is a must-read. The twist in the plot, as well as the psychological theme are very cleverly-worked. Yet, teenagers should find something different if they search [...]  One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest 1962, by Ken Kesey This is one of the rare cases when a book did not impress me as the film did. And that does not happen often. After I saw the film, which shattered me and left me speechless for days, I rushed to the library (“rushed” is [...] The Lost World, publ. 1912 When I got down to reading this book, I had known Arthur Conan Doyle as “Father of Sherlock Holmes” and was rather surprised to find out the he exploited yet another of my favourite streaks in reading, fantasy and science. Of course, I am speaking of myself of many years [...] This is an example of a book which I did not like as much as I did the film shot on it. Unfortunately, the story failed to grab and hold me, as I expected. In my teenage, I tried reading some Tolkien, and did not enjoy it. I hoped it was due to the text, [...] Despite its sometimes archaic language and certain naivety entirely due to the age of its production, Uncle Tom’s Cabin is an indispensable read in the young reader and learner reading list. The heart-breaking story, full of Biblical quotes and interpretations, terrifying scenes of human degradation and thrilling descriptions of pure saintliness and greatness, both on [...] This is a book every adolescent and young adult should read. It is a powerful and sensitive narrative, soul-shattering prose that will touch a young soul and change it forever. A young person will meet the misery of poverty and the misery of the soul which social inequality could easily bring upon human beings. By [...] BOOK REVIEW: 7 Folds of Winter by Carolyn McCray I started reading the book with modest expectations. After all, given the mighty supply of Young Adult fantasies, one needs to be at least cautious. It would be only honest to say, that the book exceeded my expectations, and very few things were really easy to [...] Oh, what can I say? It was not as I expected, but when I read this collection, I was too young and unexperienced, so I did not know what to expect. Viewing M.R.James’s stories from my present standpoint, I’d say they are typical late-Victorian stuff. A lot of story, great details, too much musing and [...] BOOK REVIEW: Fated by Carolyn McCray
The book is full of suspense. It does not let go till nearly the very end. The plot is tense and closely-knit. The political intrigue is very powerful. That, as well as the main characters’ inner moral struggles, was what attracted me most in the book. As for [...] BOOK REVIEW Indian Moon by Carolyn McCray
I am hardly the romance reader. And I distaste “contemporary” flavour. Believe me. Always had been like that. Just a pure fantasy, action and thriller fan of remote lands and times – that is what I am. So, how did I end up reading Indian Moon in [...] |
