Review: Into the Pit

By
Into the Pit Into the Pit by Scott Cawthon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Story 1: Dylan Cooper is such a standard name for a bully. Anyway, I liked the whole time travelling back into the 80s thing and how eerie the animatronic was in this story.

4/5

Story 2: The protagonist literally insulted her childhood best friend. How could she!
Also, in general the whole beauty stuff and pretending to be someone you are not (not being individual) is so annoying and the characters also all felt shallow. Perhaps it was done on purpose to give the effect of how it is to pretend to be someone you aren't, which would be cool, but the whole topic made me roll my eyes constantly. The ending was also predictable.

1/5

Story 3: Millie the protagonist was hugely annoying. Thinking about the death as handsome (romantacising), but not wanting to eat meat as that's murder. Also, the whole self-pity was so unnecessary and made the character just more un-likeable.

"It would probably be better for my health to eat less meat anyway"

Not eating meat is NOT more healthy. We need meat to develop properly (especially for the brain) and it has in general stuff inside that your body needs that we don't find elsewhere.

Self-pity examples:
"I'm glad I'm not happy. Happy people are just lying to themselves.


"Homework was a misery. School was a misery. Her whole life was a misery."


But the story got better while reading and it felt like Millie had depression, so it wasn't really an excuse for her behaviour, but at least she had a reason for all this. Also one plus point for the ending to be something I always wanted to see/read about as a FNAF fan.

3/5

Total: 2.4 stars
Rounded up: 3 stars

Review: The Six Deaths Of The Saint

By

Book information Title: The Six Deaths Of The Saint Author: Alix E. Harrow Where to buy:  Amazon . This review includes spoilers, read at your own risk. “Well, she is my Devil now.” In a thousand years and a thousand after that, they will still sing of the Prince and his Devil. Your body fighting battles you’d already won or hadn’t yet fought. “My Devil,” he said, and there was nothing you would not do for him when he spoke in this voice: fond, fatherly, full of love. You understood, finally, that there had never truly been a she or a you but only a terrible, lonely I. “I would rather love a coward than mourn a legend.” I wanted so badly to be beloved. But only one person in all my lives has ever loved me, and he does not wear a crown. Likes: Tragic past of the main character makes them more human than anyone in the story thought she was. Also, the little detail with the red hair and the century (witches) was awesome. Everyone thought she was a devil 'cause of her red hair (and her...

Review: The Way It Is

The Way It Is by Shirani Rajapakse My rating: 4 of 5 stars *I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.* The Book ‘The Way It Is’, is about a poetry collection ranging from politics and racism to war and death. Even though the poems don't rhyme most of the time, it still has a great flow while reading. I really liked about this book how wide ranging the topics were in it. After reading about war, I was reading about how woman dress and misogyny and then after that about slavery. Poems express so much more than outspoken words ever can and Shirani Rajapakse kept me intrigued with her poetry collection till the end. While reading I felt that these poems felt extremely personal and heartbreaking for me. The way the words were chosen for each poem, made me feel heard and understood, as I express the same feelings to certain topics that were covered in this collection. The poems were also not overly complicate...

Review: The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray

The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde My rating: 4 of 5 stars Short summary of my review The Picture of Dorian Gray is a great read for anyone who believes to like stories about the soul and body and how easily it can get influenced or 'stained'. The character development for me in this book took me by surprise as I didn't expect it to turn out in the way it did. A few chapters before the ending was a tense moment, which felt like a great plot twist as I didn't expect the things that happened there. Despite Dorian Gray appearing to be smart and proofing it multiple times, he did some fatal mistakes that could have ended very badly for him. So, it left me confused as to why he was rewarded with luck, for his not well-thought-out plan. Disclaimer I read the original edition, which is the uncensored version of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Note The following review is spoiler free, which misses a few aspects. If you want to ...
