Review: Slapstick

Slapstick Slapstick by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a re-read for me. I've read this book so many times in translation so I gave it a go in its original language. There was nothing to be scared of because Vonnegut's genius is not in obscure sentences or too elaborate vocabulary. What I really liked about his writing is even more present in the original (which was not in question, rather whether I can understand it).

I continue to like this book really much and will continue to re-read all of Vonnegut's works in their original form.

Review: The Silence of the Lambs

The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris My rating: 5 of 5 stars I've read this book like 3 times when I was a teenager, but apart from the main plot I only remembered that I loved it very much. I think I didn't even know at that time that this was the part of a series. Now though I intend to read the whole series in the "correct" order so after finishing Red Dragon, I re-read Silence of the Lambs as well. Even though some memories came back during reading it was still a very exciting and enjoyable experience. Thriller and horror and not my main go-to genre, but I think Hannibal Lecter is one of the best villains of all time. I totally recommend it to anyone, even if not having read Red Dragon. So far, this is the best part of the series for me. View all my reviews

Kis ​tüzek mindenütt by Celeste Ng My rating: 4 of 5 stars Ez nagyon kívül esik az egyébként jellemző érdeklődésemen, de gyáltalán nem bántam meg, hogy elolvastam. Nagyon érdekes volt, ezért azt hiszem értem a sok díjat, amit kapott. Izgalmas kilépés volt ak omfortzónámból. View all my reviews
