Zoë Perry and 1 other person liked Hannah's review of The Secret Dinner: "I received advance copies of this book for review consideration from the publisher. All opinions expressed here are my own. Cannibalism has been enough of a “thing” in horror literature over the past couple of years that I created a tag for it here. (" Read more of this review »

Zoë Perry and 3 other people liked Emily Madison's review of Exemplary Humans: "I'm surprised that this book doesn't have more fans. It's recent translated lit about an old woman that survived Brazil's dictatorship-- what's not to like? Truthfully, the timeline is a bit muddled, which is what keeps the book from becoming 5 stars" Read more of this review »

“The translator, we should know, is a writer too. As a matter of fact, he could be called the ideal writer because all he has to do is write; plot, theme, characters, and all other essentials have already been provided, so he can just sit down and write his ass off. (p. 8)”
