Mr. Boo-boo Fin [Short story]

Mr. Boo-boo Fin [Short story]

Mr. Boo-boo Fin was silently suffering, crouched on his pink silk unicorn pillow. There comes a time in each and every one’s life when one has to endure the most excruciating pain known to a human being: constipation. In Mr. Boo-boo Fin’s case, the pain was even more degrading: for, you see, he was an immortal and a pretty old one at that – having lived over 2500 years. And every 50 years, thanks to an unhappy incident involving a drunk hippopotamus, a grumpy old witch and a rainbow colored slug, the pain was to repeat itself tenfold!... Read More | Share it now!

Și pentru că e blogul meu și pot să fac ce vreau cu el
(asta dacă nu se trezesc nenii de la blogspot să-l închidă sau așa ceva),
hai să postez niște chestii scrise de mine.
Și încep cu una dintre preferatele mele, scrisă prin septembrie 2010. P.S. Herlitz are un sediu în Vâlcea, cumpăr de la ei pixuri şi caiete de peste 10 ani.

If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, by Italo Calvino [Book Review]

If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler, by Italo Calvino [Book Review]

About a quarter into this book, I thought: ‘Wow. What an extraordinary read.’
Halfway through, it became quite repetitive.
After 3/4 out of it, I found it rather boring.
In the end, I was definitely disappointed.... Read More | Share it now!

The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde [Book Review]

The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde [Book Review]

** spoiler alert ** I started reading “The picture of Dorian Gray” after receiving several recommendations from my friends. The synopsis seemed interesting, it was categorized as one of the greatest classics ever, I was sure I would enjoy it. But boy, was I wrong.... Read More | Share it now!

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Adam Douglas [Book Review]

** spoiler alert ** In the beginning, I had rated it three stars, but upon further thought, I realized that that was a bit too much. While the book was cute, silly and lighthearted, I had three main problems with it.... Read More | Share it now!

The Ice Princess, by Camilla Läckberg [Book Review]

The Ice Princess, by Camilla Läckberg [Book Review]

This has to be one of the worst mystery novels I’ve read so far. In fact, I’m not even sure if it’s supposed to be ‘mystery’. More like ‘character discovers x clue, reader is not told what it actually contains, character suddenly reveals it much later on in a really dramatic, Scooby-Doo fashion’. And this happened throughout all the book.... Read More | Share it now!

Fruits Basket [Anime Review]

Fruits Basket [Anime Review]

Fruits Basket is a show that might certainly sound interesting the moment you check the synopsis. People turning into the Chinese zodiac animals, dark and mysterious secrets surrounding them, cute, clueless main heroine – isn’t that a great premise for a shoujo series? But only as long as it’s executed accordingly.... Read More | Share it now!

Higurashi: When They Cry [Anime Review]

Higurashi: When They Cry [Anime Review]

Higurashi is a really confusing, complex and difficult to explain anime. Some may view it as belonging to the horror or psychological genre; some may find it as a really weird harem series containing crazy, killer lolis; others may consider it a failure since it doesn’t seem to belong to any of the afore-mentioned genres. Considering how much amount Higurashi incorporates, all views are understandable; this certainly isn’t a series that’s easy to comprehend by everyone. Higurashi is a mixture of mystery, blood, humor, romance and especially nice moral stories; but above all – Higurashi should be perceived as a really challenging logic problem....

Umineko: When They Cry [Anime Review]

Umineko: When They Cry [Anime Review]

A few things before reading this review:
-yes, I am one of those who have played the sound novel before watching the anime;
-no, I will not make this an essay of comparison between the two, nor will I praise the novel over the anime; however, it is inevitable that certain comparisons will indeed appear, in order to explain the flaws of the anime;
-this review might seem a bit unfriendly to someone who has no clue what Umineko is about. In fact, it’s much more addressed to those who have partially or completely watched the anime/read the manga/played the game.... Read More | Share it now!
