The Stranger Review
Meursault is about as emotional as a soggy baguette. His lack of reaction to his mom’s death had me blinking twice. Camus serves up a bizarre look at life that’s both funny and a bit unsettling.

Crime and Punishment Review
Crime and Punishment is like a really intense game of chess where everyone is confused and guilty. Raskolnikov’s brain runs wild, and you keep waiting for someone to smack some sense into him. But wow, you can’t stop reading.

1985 Back In The Day Review
The 1985 book made me laugh, cringe, and nod in agreement. It’s packed with wild facts, old-school ads, and even a trivia page that stumped my uncle. Definitely a fun trip down memory lane, but some jokes feel outdated.
Rating: 4.5/5

Elizabeth Bennet steals the show with her sharp tongue and quick wit. Mr. Darcy takes a while to warm up, but when he does—watch out! Austen’s humor keeps things lively, even when the language gets a bit creaky.
