Several reviews

It has been quite a while since i was able to post on this blog, but now i have the ability to write several reviews on the books i have read during this time.

Let's get right into it with Antohony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange". This modern-day classic is a good way to laugh at a book that does not seem so funny. It is a comical work that really does allow questions of society's role on violence to be asked, and if "A Clockwork Orange" is becoming the world as we now know it to be. Although Mr. Burgess has denounced this book, it is still one that ask questions that need to be answered. I recommened borrowing this one from the libaray, or even seeing the Stanely Kubrick's film version of the book. Although reading it will allow you to read the alternate ending of the book that does not appear in the film.
All-in-all, this one is a good read, nothing too out of the ordinary for those who are fans of Orwell, but it is something to behold. If the language trips you up, it is fine, as you will grow accustom what the terms mean during your reading of this novel. Either way you discover this story, it is one that should be discovered by everyone who likes to read.


The second book I have read is "Talk to the Hand". If you have not grown accustomed to thsi book from its release, then you myst, myst, myst pick it up fir the sake of entertainment. Lynn Truss is quite the comedian, and a damn good writer, too. In her latest book, she goes off on the bad manners of the world today, and the acts of chivarly that simply must be put away with, or revamped for the new millenium. Her novel starts off with an introduction chapter that explains how the book was written, and gives a brief idea on what the six good reasons to stay at home are, and what they signify.
I found this book to be interesting, and how it really does open your eyes to the rudness that many of us face in the world today, and we simply brush it off as if nothing happend. I say that this book is one that must be on your shelf, and it should be cherished along with many other great novels. Although the topic of rudness seems it would get quite bland after around fifty pages, Ms. Truss has put forth that extra effort to keep you spellbound, and you most certainly will stay nose deep into this one. Pick up "Talk to the Hand" by Lynn Truss in your local bookstore, and enjoy what you read.

(Have a certain book you want to read, but perhaps want to know more about it? Is it a buy or a borrow? Just ask me about it, and i will help you out.)
