Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl
If you’re looking for a good storyteller, who do you call? Roald Dahl. This guy is a genius! Never once have I not been entertained by his stories. This one in particular, is truly fascinating, as he talks about his life and how it has influenced his stories. Dahl’s life at an English boarding school…

Small Wars by Sadie Jones
The story, set in the 50’s, is pretty straightforward. It’s about a couple whose marriage is strained due to war. Husband tried to do his best at work, so wife felt deserted, yet had to maintain an unaffected, bold front. Although this book has received rave reviews, I didn’t really enjoy it. There were hardly…

Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I’ve mentioned before I don’t fancy love stories because they’re mostly so predictable,… Same goes for this one. Although I didn’t thoroughly enjoy it, I didn’t find it a bore either.

Big Bad Wolf Sales: I came out EMPTY-HANDED
After queuing for 30 minutes to get in, I came out empty handed. The sales sucked lah…Not worth the time and wait. The previous one was better – more books, more variety, and more spacious. If you haven’t been there, don’t bother wasting your time if you’ve been to their previous one and the recent…
