Leipää ja maitoa by Karolina Ramqvist
4.0
Todella hyvä ja kaunis kirja, yksi miinustähti paikoittain pallottelevasta läskifobiasta. "Tunnen olevani läski ihrakasa, mutta aijai onneksi en olekaan, ahhahhah olenpas samaistuttava ja hauska" olisi voinut olla suora lainaus.

Harmittaa niin kovin että näin kaunis idea, nimi ja kansi meni hukkaan näin huonoon kirjaan. Tätä oli TODELLA vaikea lukea. Erilainen kirjoitustyyli olis varmasti helpottanut, mutta tuskin tarpeeksi.
Yksi tähti lisätty vain nimen ja kannen vuoksi. Outoa rasismia v2023 julkaistussa kirjassa.

Kirja tuntui toistelevan itseään paljon - tuntui kuin neljäsosa koko kirjasta olisi vain ensimmäisistä kappaleista copypastetettu, lopuksi muutama lisälause. Muuten todella hieno ja tärkeä teos, kiitos.

Woom by Duncan Ralston
3.0
Not quite sure how I feel. As an extreme horror novel it was good, I guess. Surprisingly well written.
I was a little dissappointed, maybe? I had seen so many people talk about the Main Point of the book and was waiting and waiting... And waiting..... For it to just be over in a page or two? (I feel like the story about Andy deserves perhaps more attention?)
I also found the part about everything always happening in room 6 extremely unbelievable. The same motel would've been perfectly creepy as well. It just seems too unlikely.
Giving this 3 stars just because I do enjoy extreme horror and if I had no critical thinking skills this would've been really good.
Lastly, why do white men feel like they need to portray black characters like... That? Just be normal about it. I feel like he was made black just so Duncan could type out the n-word. White man behaviour.

some chapters were god-awful to be quite honest
