I have heard of Tokyo Ghoul off and on for a while now. I never really had any interest in reading it, as the images I had seen did seem a bit “too much” for my tastes. However, I am curious. I feel, as a reader and bookseller, I should try and experience many different genres. Therefore, when I saw the book Tokyo Ghoul Illustrations: Zakki in the damaged box, I assume it was a Tokyo Ghoul graphic novel and picked it up. It was […]
I’ll tell you, but you’ll never understand. You’re on the wrong side of the dark glass. Only the dead know how terrible it is to be alive
I don’t know if this is a good book or not.

I really wanted to like this, but…
So this book was suggested to me by someone (I think here in one of my other zombie book reviews, or maybe over on Pajiba). I bought the audiobook from Amazon, and started listening to it a few weeks ago when my carpool partner was away for two weeks. Like I said in my title – I really wanted to like it. Unfortunately, it never really grabbed me. The idea was solid, and I don’t know if it was just the writing style, or the […]
