| Vonnegut’s literary masterpiece, perhaps. I’m not sure how well this had aged. The depiction of Dresden has a completely peaceful city with no valid military targets has been debunked, and the casualty claims were overstated by a factor of 10 thanks ...more | |

Agrippa is sadly not a gripper...a rather dull, repetetive account of the famous general's life, which is little more than a recitation of battles, betrayals and buildings. None of the many characters ever comes alive or had any sort of appeal. The s ...more |

Amazing how a mash up of Beowulf and Arthurian lore complete with ogres, dragons and more can be quite so dull and tedious, but Ishiguoro manages to bring a downbeat air and smother the joy out of the to the most promising premise. I kept wondering if ...more |

“There is a story about a traveller chased by a tiger to the edge of an abyss. The man took hold of a vine and started to climb down when he saw an angry dragon at the bottom of the abyss, and when he looked up, the tiger was lashing its tail above. As he hung on, a mouse started to gnaw away at the vine he was clinging to. The man was ready for death when he noticed a wild strawberry growing next to him, so he plucked it. It was the sweetest he had ever tasted.”
