I bought this at the airport to occupy me on a short flight. I was intrigued by the successful theatre play and wanted to know what it was all about. The book starts with a framing device where everyone is telling ghost stories but our hero is haunte ...more |

Interesting combination of myth and commentary on how stories are created (and what they mean to us). I rather lost interest towards the end where the story broke in two and we had a sequel and the end of the original story. Nevertheless, it was endle ...more |

The final part of the trilogy (of new titles) and I was expecting. Sadly, it was more of a whimper. There were interesting themes developed from before but nothing fitted together into a satisfying whole. For Pullman devotees a must, but I doubt it wi ...more |

| When I saw the trailer for the Pillion, a gay BDSM film, I couldn't wait. Sadly, as the release date in Germany was month's later than the UK, I had no choice. However, the book, Box Hill, - on which the film is based - was available for download. I ...more | |

I was immediately pulled into this story but I found the twist in the end a little unbelievable. Short but engaging. To be honest, I felt the earth theme was a little crow bared into the story However, I am planning to read more from John Boyle. |

“When a relationship hits a crisis, the natural response is to try to fix it as quickly as possible. But in the panic, it is very easy to get confused about the true nature of the problems and head off in the wrong direction. So the first step is to truly understand.”

“Men always say that as the defining compliment, don’t they? She’s a cool girl. Being the Cool Girl means I am a hot, brilliant, funny woman who adores football, poker, dirty jokes, and burping, who plays video games, drinks cheap beer, loves threesomes and anal sex, and jams hot dogs and hamburgers into her mouth like she’s hosting the world’s biggest culinary gang bang while somehow maintaining a size 2, because Cool Girls are above all hot. Hot and understanding. Cool Girls never get angry; they only smile in a chagrined, loving manner and let their men do whatever they want. Go ahead, shit on me, I don’t mind, I’m the Cool Girl.
Men actually think this girl exists. Maybe they’re fooled because so many women are willing to pretend to be this girl. For a long time Cool Girl offended me. I used to see men – friends, coworkers, strangers – giddy over these awful pretender women, and I’d want to sit these men down and calmly say: You are not dating a woman, you are dating a woman who has watched too many movies written by socially awkward men who’d like to believe that this kind of woman exists and might kiss them. I’d want to grab the poor guy by his lapels or messenger bag and say: The bitch doesn’t really love chili dogs that much – no one loves chili dogs that much! And the Cool Girls are even more pathetic: They’re not even pretending to be the woman they want to be, they’re pretending to be the woman a man wants them to be. Oh, and if you’re not a Cool Girl, I beg you not to believe that your man doesn’t want the Cool Girl. It may be a slightly different version – maybe he’s a vegetarian, so Cool Girl loves seitan and is great with dogs; or maybe he’s a hipster artist, so Cool Girl is a tattooed, bespectacled nerd who loves comics. There are variations to the window dressing, but believe me, he wants Cool Girl, who is basically the girl who likes every fucking thing he likes and doesn’t ever complain. (How do you know you’re not Cool Girl? Because he says things like: “I like strong women.” If he says that to you, he will at some point fuck someone else. Because “I like strong women” is code for “I hate strong women.”)”

“We all spend so much time worrying about the future that the present moment slips right out of our hands. And so all we have left is retrospection and anticipation, retrospection and anticipation. In which case what's left to recall but past anticipation? What's left to anticipate but future retrospection?”
