Quick Review: The Gift of the Magi and Other Short Stories

Forgot to post… Managed to read it before Andra had to send it.
Liked a few, disliked a few, was neutral to others…
On the good side overall, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Rating: 7/10

Quick Review: The Queen of the Damned

This seems to be getting to be a habit… Read it before Andra, just like it happened with The Vampire Lestat. May happen with Interview with the Vampire too if she doesn’t get to it before I finish the book that I pounced on now.
Simply amazing. Also, sheds a new light on The Vampire Lestat and I’m going to give that one a 9 now instead of an 8.

Quick Review: The Vampire Lestat

Living in the same house with Andra right now, and still will for quite a while, I hope, and I read it first, since she was reading something else when I got here.
Nice book, even more so since I read it in English, therefore nothing was lost or changed in the translation. Interesting idea, to show life and society through the ages through the eyes of an immortal. Caused me a few bad dreams, since I had to think about it and imagine the action more than would have been “safe”, knowing my reaction to horror stuff, because it simply required much thinking and imagination.
Very good overall, but you simply have to read The Queen of the Damned as soon as possible after it and only rate afterwards.

[Old] Away…

Happy Halloween for all of you who celebrate it…

Today is Rose’s birthday… I can’t even tell her happy birthday, even if I had the guts to call I couldn’t, phone isn’t working right as of this morning, it won’t dial the digit 8, and her number contains 8…
Well, this is just about what I want to say.

[Old] As Usual

A bad day, parents making in worse, what else is there to say? I’m dead tired, barely ate a little… But who cares… Why am I writing this anyway?
