Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky is best described as a surreal, post-apocalyptic adventure, centred around life beneath the ground in the metro tunnels after nuclear weapons devastated the planet with their destructive force and worse still, their lingering radiation. This is not a story of how or why the bombs dropped, but the exploration of one’s will to live in the face of many strange dangers that assault the body, mind and heart of the main character, Artyom.
Here is my spoiler-free review of Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky.

The Tales of Redwall is a series written by Brian Jacques and was started in the late 80s. It is a medieval fantasy series where the characters are semi-anthropomorphic beings that follow a hierarchy similar to their counterparts in nature. There are several books in this series and today I will be reviewing the first; Redwall.
With that said, let’s start the review! Here we have it, the first book review of the year and it’s already off to a great start! This week I read The Princess Bride by William Goldman, the same writer of the screenplay for the movie. I think I am like most when I say I had no clue that The Princess Bride was a book before a movie. Whether you have seen the movie or not, this book is a great weekend read.
Let’s get into the review! There are many avenues a writer can take in their career. Most hope to become novel writers, selling bestsellers that line the shelves in major book retailers. Some become bloggers, others become journalists, product reviewers. Writers can take to other industries, such as writing scripts for movies and tv series, or, as I will be talking about in this blog post, video games.
Let’s get into it! This week I am reviewing Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, the translation by Tobias Smollett. Don Quixote is a popular classic, with many accomplishments in the literary world, from being considered the first literary novel and being the most sold book in the world. There is a lot to talk about when it comes to this book review.
With that said, this is a spoiler-free review as always, I hope you enjoy! |
