An Unnecessary Woman

Rabih Alameddine | 2015 | Fiction & Poetry

"The breathtaking beauty of Alameddine’s prose alone makes this compulsive reading. Its true genius, however, lies in the sacrosanct ideas that the narrator—a translator of books that will never be read—lays bare with humorous irreverence, wry insouciance, or intellectual outrage. She is fearless in looking at aging and death, the morality of war and survival, and the true meaning of a meaningful life. She also gives advice on not dying your hair blue in bad light."

Book Favorite

"I love stories of survival and I love strong men. This is one man’s story of surviving in Antartica when he lost everyone and everything and still managed to make it back to his ship under the worst possible conditions and elements. What he survived, what he endured, and his will to live are themes I’ll never get tired of learning about. We have always lived among great people, but it’s an essential reminder that there are superior beings."

Overhyped movie

I thought crawl is a way overhyped as a movie. Everybody saying is the next blockbuster movie, the next jaws, the best horror movie of this year, it will scary the living hell out of you. When in reality/my opinion is just a okay movie nothing to spiecal, if your big into survival movies than go see it, if not in my opinon just skip it and wait for it to come out on dvd.
