Book Review: Sputnik Sweetheart

pineapplesourbutsweet

I picked up another Murakami book because I longed to read another masterpiece like Norwegian Wood. I don’t know what magic that book possesses, but it took hold of me. Wanting to read such a book again, I stumbled upon Sputnik Sweetheart by Murakami himself at the bookstore. I bought myself a copy and dove right in. Unfortunately, unlike Norwegian Wood, the first two-thirds of the book was magnificent. The last one-third, however, was very disappointing. Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami is a story about a girl Sumire, who falls in love with Miu, a woman seventeen years her senior. … Continue reading Book Review: Sputnik Sweetheart

Somewhere in between

pineapplesourbutsweet

Somewhere between love, and anger. Somewhere between hope, and discouragement. I am stuck in the middle; with an uncomfortable shadow telling me to choose, Lingering near me constantly. And it never seems to leave. My head and thoughts control me. It’s like I’m an old, damaged, rusty truck holding my pieces together while something else’s hands are on the wheel. Like it’s going for a joy ride of self destructive behavior. My choices don’t seem like my own. And my actions fill me with regret almost as if I wasn’t the one who chose them. So many words in my … Continue reading Somewhere in between

Book Review: The Fine Print

pineapplesourbutsweet

THOUGHTS. In all honesty I would probably give this book three stars, but it was compulsively readable and that to me, deserves the extra star. Felt invested enough and at least it had a good ending. I thought a lot of the innuendo was poorly done. It felt randomly placed and unnecessary? That might be a me thing, but I like it all to flow and this felt like some sentences were added for “spice” and that’s a big nope from me. It’s steamier overall than I usually go for. It is easily skippable and isn’t until the second half. … Continue reading Book Review: The Fine Print

Book review: Verity

I find it very difficult to review this novel or add anything to the discussion that hasn’t already been said. Verity is not a book for everyone. It is unsettling. It is sexually explicit. There’s graphic language. There are scenes of child abuse and neglect. The plot is shaky. The ending’s infuriating. And the writing, quite frankly, isn’t good. But for whatever reason something draws you in and you begin to question your own sanity as you bear witness to the chaos. What’s the term for that? Fascination with the abomination? Whatever it may be, I know one thing for sure. I … Continue reading Book review: Verity

All existed as the One before the particle as the observer was able to view this wave as an individual. So the particle is likened to consciousness which did not exist until the split.
