- Ooh littol shiny black book! With pictures of cats!
- I enjoy reading about gadgets and how they compare with the dinosaur age as much as the next person, but there were too many product reviews here. I want to read essays, not ad copies.(Though to be fair to Zafra, she makes an effort to make her product reviews personal by adding anecdotes.)
- I wished there were more movie reviews, or reviews of plays, etc. The book is loaded with gadgets, gadgets, coffee maker, gadgets.
- I wished the essays had dates.
- Still, a handful of interesting pieces here. I especially liked that essay about the streets of the metro. (Bwenja! Hell Poyat ! Bwenja! Hell Poyat!)
- But there were funnier posts on her blog. *whine* I wished she included those.

I haven’t read a Zafra book since before 2000, I think, though I’m not very sure. I should check out some of her other books (maybe skip this one, thanks to your review).
Hehe, it’s still a worthwhile read though. Borrow one maybe?
