(NOTE: This review is of the third book in a trilogy, and therefore contains a number of spoilers, revealing significant events, details, and characters. I advise you to read the reviews of the first two books first. You have been warned 🙂) The second book revealed much about the Republic, the Colonies, the…
You Were Born Rich “Zig Ziglar might be the master of motivation, Mark Viktor Hansen (Chicken Soup for Soul) the master of storytelling, Anthony (Tony) Robbins can be the guru of personal development, but Bob Proctor is the master of thinking (thought). Bob Proctor collects thoughts like Imelda Marcos collected shoes. He connects them together…
Do you remember my objective review of the series “Firefly” (“In case you don’t remember, you wrote the review so ‘objectively’ and ‘professionally’ that everyone thought someone paid you… which is even sadder for you, no one pays you for this embarrassment on your blog…” – note of the subconscious)?

Pelevin and… ah, yes… well… I’m not quite sure where to begin. Victor Pelevin is a rather intriguing young fellow (although he’s now well into his fifties, but let’s not nitpick). He rarely gives interviews, and when he does, they tend to be vague and evasive, reminiscent of a blend between Haruki Murakami and…
Blue Eye Samurai What happens when you combine titles like “Yentl,” “Kill Bill,” “John Wick,” “Game of Thrones,” “Mulan” and “The Witcher,” John Woo and Tarantino, and wrap it in the wafer of medieval Japan and phenomenal animation? You get a real juicy cake with a base of cookies, chocolate and vanilla filling into which…
