Book Review: Dear Killer

Dear Killer is not a book that would be enjoyed by everyone. I even have a feeling that a significant amount of readers will hate and burn it. For starters, the main character of this book is not someone that you can really call a “heroine.” Kit Ward is not the girl who will save the day. On the contrary, she’s the dragon who needs to be slain by your knight in shining armor. And the most disturbing thing is that she has a very disturbing view about morality. Kit’s first rule in life is: There’s no right or wrong.…

My interest was very high during the first 20% of the book and then it dwindled as the story progressed. The main character, Miranda, was average and easily forgettable. I wouldn’t even bat an eyelash if the…

Book Review: A Game of Thrones

This book, along with its two sequels, has been on my shelf for almost a year now. I have tried my very best to ignore it for mainly 2 reasons: 1. I thought it was going to be another Tolkien clone and; 2. I hate character deaths. However, a new year means overcoming new challenges even if it’s only about reading. So, here I am writing this review. I guess that a lot of you already know what A Game of Thrones is all about, what with the popularity of the TV show. But for the sake of those who…
