A Man Called Ove From the moment I (finally) picked up the book, I firmly decided I would take a negative stance toward Ove. That is, not a negative attitude toward the novel “A Man Called Ove,” but toward the main hero himself. The reason is simple. I didn’t want to allow myself to (emotionally)…
The Song of Achilles When it comes to choosing books, for me (I believe, and for a good number of other people) it’s based on two approaches: either I choose a book intuitively/instinctively (i.e., something strongly attracts me to the title) or I’ve previously researched the book, reviews and the like (though I apply this…
No Longer Human If you thought only Russian, English, and (occasional) French classics could delve into the theme of human soul despair, just wait until you see what Osamu Dazai and his “No Longer Human” will do to you in less than 120 pages! What all can fit on 120 pages? Well, let’s say, the…
Rebel (The Legend Series) *(Note: This book connects quite closely to the original Marie Lu trilogy. If you haven’t read the previous books, or read them long ago and forgot, here you can read my reviews of the previous three books to remind yourself what happened.

After Dark What’s the probability that to the question “Which author first comes to mind, if the writing style is such that you’re not sure at what moment reality and fantasy begin to overlap, and you’re no longer sure what’s what” you’d answer with Haruki Murakami? 😀 Maybe it wouldn’t even be a surprise that…
Squid Game A couple of years ago, all that was known about the series “Squid Game” was that it would be an unusual drama coming from South Korea… and that Netflix had its fingers in it (the series, not Korea). Since Netflix in recent years has been sticking its fingers in everything alive and thus…
Cowboy Bebop “Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake and I lost it in an accident. Since then, in one eye I see the past and in the other the present. And because of that I thought I could only see pieces of reality, never the whole picture” – Spike Spiegel…
More than 25 years have passed since legendary Ang Lee honored the world with his mystical dramatic wuxia treat “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” The West fell silent before the appearance of this spectacle and saw that Asian cinematography is ready for the 21st century with its films where martial arts can quite successfully be…
