twisted 8 1/2

  1. Ooh littol shiny black book! With pictures of cats!
  2. 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.)
  3. I wished there were more movie reviews, or reviews of plays, etc. The book is loaded with gadgets, gadgets, coffee maker, gadgets.
  4. I wished the essays had dates.
  5. Still, a handful of interesting pieces here. I especially liked that essay about the streets of the metro. (Bwenja! Hell Poyat ! Bwenja! Hell Poyat!)
  6. But there were funnier posts on her blog. *whine*  I wished she included those.

  1. 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).
