Review: Grimm's Fairy Stories by Jacob Ludwig Karl Grimm, Wilhelm Karl Grimm

This was a very interesting dive into the foundation of so many fairy tails upon which I was raised. I found many of the stories a little short and difficult to translate a moral or meaning from, like all of the modern counterparts include. Though I attribute this to either being lost in translation or altered for a new generation. All in all I would suggest this to anyone, especially for reading to your children as their imaginations will soar with the wonders in these stories.

Review: Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James

The only reason I read this book was to discover how a book heavily sexual with a bdsm relationship made the New York Times best sellers list. I didn't realize that lonely housewives and oversexed tweens with a penchant for poor writing and exhaustively repetitive symbolism would even be considered for the New York Times book list. Reading this was simple and easy due to the middle school vocabulary, and while the sexual tension and buildup of the characters was well done, the constant fifth grade mentality of the main character was painful, and left the story with repetitive let downs. Also, it repetitively left me wanting to throw the book across the room and light myself on fire because of the repetitive nature of its repeditivity. Have I repetitiously made my repetitiveness repeatedly clear? gasoline... Match... Flame on...

QReview: Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary by David Sedaris

Such a fascinating allegory to human nature and society. I love this book and it was a quick easy read to boot. Truly a must read for anyone and everyone with a sense of humor!

Review: Room by Emma Donoghue

Room was an eerily wonderful book. Breaking conventions that would normally keep a story from even being published, (Which I find amazing considering all the horrible books I've seen published), yet while residing in this most unconventional situation you have a child who has grown up in a wonderful and inspiring world. Jack is the child in us all that never wanted to escape the comforts of our own little private world that we all forgot about. I loved this book and I would suggest it to anyone and everyone who is interested in a thought provoking and harrowing tale that will fill you with both happiness and sadness.
