a;; the four stories i have read so far are good

the story 'Crabs' made me a bit mad at Murakami. why does he always use this "suddenly he realized nothing is ever the same again"-thing? it is fantastic and surreal during some stories, but i think he's using it too much.

i know, the cover of the edition i got is terrible.

the middle parts are too miserable and made me very sad. i am now in the "Legal Drama" parts. which i have never been too fond of but it's interesting sometimes

nice prose and characterizations. everything is vivid and clear, so far.

So far Brian's done nothing but cry and pity himself. Which is highly understandable. He is, however, dull and not partuclarly amusing to read about.

it's all just fun and a good wild stroll.

Madison and the gang. Badass people in Hell at its coolest.

The beginning of this book made me comfortable the way no other Chuck Palahniuk book did. I like Madison

he is very reminiscent of Haruki Murakami, even that of the character being stoic in such a strange situation. this is a very simple read and i like how Kafka writes. it is so relaxed and entertaining.

some of the stories are really fun. some are lame and i don't usually enjoy how Asimov unfolds the solutions. Henry's a fine man, though.

i think i am becoming quite a very appreciatibe person. i mean this book is basically trubbage. but i quite understand what Mr. Palahniuk wants to do with this book. and the setting and plot is pretty artsy. Idk.

can't point out a particular favorite, so far.they all feel mediocre.

the first story isn't good for me at all.

quite a tough experience Max is going through.

these unfamiliar words are killing me. Thank you, Wikipedia.

The reader may not figure out the whole image at first, but as it evolves, and as the reader rests from reading, there's always large improvement one could close his eyes and ponder upon.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a beautiful storyteller. He reminds me of how i feel like when painting. He takes everything slowly and crisp, as though chewing chocolate. The phrases he uses are containing delightful charms in it in manner of word-choice and execution, (but this is translated, so i can't really tell). I say he reminds me of painting processes because he concentrates in a certain picture every paragraph.

at times it is very confusing. And amusing, too.

Fermina Daza is a bitch

he has a point.

The part where the zoo is described is fun.

she is so much fun to be with.. . .wait...for that matter, i don't know her name yet.the narrator.

man i dont understand the reviews. I think, although the grammar and method of storytelling is slightly smug, this book still has its wonders, especially the flimsy narrator and the unique plot.

The Invisible Man was such a fantastic read.. . .i don't know about this one. I find it narrow and their is no charm at all in terms of narrative.

i can't believe it. This book isn't supposed to be dull it all.. . .for some reason the narratiive and story isn't getting a hold of me as a reader... The prose is not very interesting. DULL, to be precise.

i'm glad that the action started right near the very beginning. Mr.Wells sure likes no unnecessary crap in his works. :)

wow.i am actually liking this one. .. .the narrator is funny and honest.there are things he say i can relate to.

i hope Anne and Lyon goes back together. I like them.

just keeps getting better. Am not afraid to call this a favourite though it's supposedly chick-lit. This is a masterpiece
