A review of "The White King: A Novel" — 1 week ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

I don’t know if it’s a genre, but I can recall only having read 1 other book like this. By this I mean literature from a child’s perspective. I like it so much and it’s hard to put in words what exactly I like about it. Maybe because the characters are still pretty amazed and uncomprehensive about the world that surrounds them. They are in this world with all their tricks and pranks, yet everything is dead serious. It’s not like everything is at stake all the time as in puberty, yet there is definitely much at stake.
The other book where the story is told from a child’s perspective is The End of a Family Story by Peter Nadas. I recall where the main character lies in the grass and looks through the grass to see the world from that point of view. I did that too as probably any child of 8 or 9. I took me all the way back to my childhood. And I never saw literature as a medium that takes one back 1 on 1. Usually one relates and associates, but this time it brought back literate memories and that was fascinating.
If you know other stories told from a child’s perspective please share the title(s). I’d love to read them

WORTH CONSUMING!

Overacting, overexposing, overdramatising, overeverything. Subtleties and implicities are nowhere to be found, yet still “worth consuming”.

Abominable movie — 32 weeks ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

This is by far the worst movie I saw in a very long time. The plot is very very poor and what could be spoiled is spoiled. The characters are not only flat, but lack all forms of credibility. The actors probobly gave it their best shot, but they don’t do anything else than proclame their lines.
