Air Doll

Imagine your inflatable partner starts talking, buying things, confronting you, basically having her own life and will. A nightmare scenario, the ideal plot for a terrific horror movie. In Japan they made a great movie instead, a subtle wonder of tragedy, melancholy, poetry and humor. To be shared with your partner, inflatable or not.

Verbroken

This book has the great merit of being written in a grammatical correct manner; not much more than that, and I am inclined to think that the merit goes to the dutch translator...

In this book the world is divided between two kind of people: the heroes, good, honest, disciplined, loving, suffering, but destined to a bright future and true happiness; and the villain, corrupted, alcoholics, addicted, greedy, enjoying themselves in ways we might all be jealous in our deepest dreams we would never share; those will die in pain, by cancer and in solitude, or killed by the heroes. There is even a third category: people in between, they might go wrong or they might redeem, but they will never join True Happiness.

What a waist of ink, and what a waist of talent. I have read a short story from Karin Slaughter, and it was funny and full of irony. This one is not even worth recycling.
