Illustrated in the colours that the vampires of this graphic novel can see, Red, Black and white dominate the wood print style images. No to everyone's preference, and it does tire the eyes after a while of reading, the story starts off humorously but does seem to find it difficult to go further than that, not finding its place successfully throughout the remainder of this Graphic novel. A shame as I think it all had potential.

Even by PG Wodehouse standards, this one is pretty complicated - so much so, that Bertie Wooster even provides a list at the end of the novel (something liek 'Sundered Hearts'/'Reunited Hearts')!
Of course, while reading it, I was also (perhaps unavoidably) comparing it to the episodes of the old TV series that were clearly based on this particular novel, making it impossible to visualise any other than Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie as Jeeves and Wooster, respectively.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Catch-22 in Books
Oct 5, 2020
Sometimes it isn’t easy to write a review of a novel that is always one of the first to come to mind when someone asks what is my favorite book of all-time favorite. But since this is my 300th blog post (already?), I thought the time was due to write about Joseph Heller’s iconic novel, Catch-22. You can read my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2018/02/13/my-300th-post-review-of-a-modern-classic/
The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated The Time Traveler's Wife in Books

The New Year always makes me ponder on the passage of time. That also made me think about this highly creative novel, which is a carefully written and fascinating to read, despite the somewhat unbelievable aspect that anyone could have a genetic problem that causes them to travel in time. Find out what I thought of this best-selling debut novel by Audrey Niffenegger in my review here. http://drchazan.blogspot.com/2014/09/take-time-to-travel-with-this-book.html
The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Us Against You (Beartown #2) in Books

Once again, Fredrik Backman has a new novel, and this one is a sequel to last year’s “Beartown.” The last time Backman made a sequel, the second story took us away from of the first novel’s location. This time, he’s decided to stay put. Find out if this new novel will also be deserving of a spot on my “best of” books this year, in my review here.

In this sweeping historical fiction novel, Heather Chisvin takes us along a journey of two sisters who flee late 19th century Russia through to Canada and America of the early and mid-20th century.
