"Controversial at first, and still by the time I got around to reading it 20 years after its initial release. The fact that it was available in France yet banned in the USA made it even more interesting. While shocked and amused, I was very often surprisingly inspired by Miller."

Among Strange Victims

Christina MacSweeney, Daniel Saldaña Paris | 2016 | Fiction & Poetry, Humor & Comedy

(0 Ratings)

Book Favorite

"Daniel Saldaña París is the Mexican Philip Roth, dare I say, and his novel is both satirical and self-reflective, which is my favorite mode of literary expression. I met him a few years ago, and speaking with him about writing fiction was like talking to a long lost twin."

Anna Karenina

Rosamund Bartlett, Leo Tolstoy | 2015 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"A great and tragic love story set against the social upheavals in Russia in the 1870s. Like “The Great Gatsby,” this is a book I’ve read three times in my life. I read it maybe five years ago and realized for the first time that Anna Karenina was an opium addict."

Only down side is it's been left in a cliff hanger with no sign of when next episodes will be uploaded to Netflix.. the suspense is killing me 😬 (0 more)

Not much (0 more)

It gave graphic deatils of what the area looked like ten years ago with no link to madeline's disappearance at all. (1 more)

A good seventy percent of this could have been cut out and you still would have had the same amount of relevant information.

This was absolutely terrible.

Overly long, tedious, not what I expected (0 more)

Classic?

Got to admit that I had been looking forward to watching this for years, and when I eventually did I was so disappointed.
My advice is do not believe the hype. I thought it was too long and to be honest, just crap
