The Invisible Man

Wrote a review for

I thoroughly enjoyed “The Invisible Man” and found it to be a captivating story. The character of Griffin, with his albinism and red eyes, adds an extra layer of intrigue, as his appearance alone could startle people even before his transformation into an invisible man. Kind of leading to he was a monster either way.

I appreciated that the story was easier to read than “Frankenstein” and that Griffin’s character remained consistent from page to screen, unlike Frankenstein’s portrayal, which has varied widely in adaptations. Overall, “The Invisible Man” is a fun, classic novel that continues to fascinate readers with its unique blend of science fiction and horror.

And Then There Were None

Wrote a review for

This was my first encounter with Agatha Christie’s work, and I absolutely fell in love with this story. It’s fascinating to realize that Christie pioneered the trope of an unseen adversary, methodically picking off characters one by one.

The novel is a masterclass in creating a sense of uneasy terror without resorting to graphic details. Christie skillfully builds tension, leaving the characters and the reader on edge, unsure of what will happen next.

Despite its brevity, this novel has quickly earned a spot in my top 10 favorite novels. Its impact is profound, and it’s a testament to Christie’s genius in the mystery genre.

The Vet at Noah's Ark: Stories of Survival from an Inner-City Animal Hospital

Wrote a review for

“The Vet at Noah’s Ark” is a remarkably heartwarming and, at times, sad book that offers a unique glimpse into the world of veterinary medicine. Written from the perspective of a veterinarian with a sincere heart, this book allows readers to truly understand the emotional and ethical challenges faced by those in this profession.

One of the aspects I appreciated most about this book is its authenticity. The author conveys various traits, situations, and circumstances that are all too common in veterinary practice. As a veterinarian myself, I found the portrayal accurate and relatable. It was refreshing to read about the inner workings of the profession from someone who genuinely understands and cares about the animals and their well-being.

I must admit, I am very glad that I do not live in any inner city or in California, as the book highlights some particularly challenging scenarios faced by veterinarians in those areas. Just gonna say, “Sometimes people suck”

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed “The Vet at Noah’s Ark.” It provides a heartfelt and honest perspective on the veterinary profession that both vets and animal lovers alike will appreciate.

Frankenstein

Wrote a review for

I don’t know why this book says it is two authors because we all know that’s not true. As far as the book goes. It was great story with an absolute great tragedy. I really enjoyed it but did have a tough time with the old world English. Great literary classic.
