"The greatest Dostoyevsky novel for me. I first read it in the Andrew MacAndrew translation (now published by W.W. Norton) which bowled me over."

It was an OK read. I felt it could have done with a bit more work or maybe it was just lacking in the translation

"The greatest (gay) novel, translated by its great (gay) translator. I much prefer this original English translation to all the subsequent attempts by others to make it into In Search of Lost Time"

"This novel about a young man’s seven years in a sanitarium for tuberculosis is quite possibly my favorite book of all time. A new translation from the German by John E. Woods in 1996 makes this marvelous read more beautiful than ever."

I feel like I saw a different movie than everyone else. I hated this movie. Here's an alternate movie poster anyway...

A very good film that won't be for everyone. If you liked Lost in translation and like films to do with everyday life, relationships etc you will appreciate this. Otherwise you'll likely to find it too slow and a tad dull.

The casting is quite phenomenal, especially the two main celestials. It has some subtle humour which really works and an unconventional premise to pull you in. (0 more)
Fans of the book might find some of the punchy wit of the book has been diluted in the translation. (0 more)
Solid laugh and light-hearted blasphemy

When I happened upon the new translation of all of the Sailor Moon mangas, was thrilled. Prior to reading this series, I had only watched the original cartoon from the 1990s. I was hooked from the first pages, and read it all in one sitting.

They say, "There’s a book for every person ... and a person for every book." Apparently, that's universal, and applies to the likes of unassuming Sara from Sweden, as well as to the inhabitants of the tiny Iowa town of Broken Wheel. Read more about this charming book in my review. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2016/01/06/nothing-lost-in-translation/
