It's a fairly slim book but by the time you finish reading it you'll hate Britney's dad with a fiery passion. I really feel sorry for her and hope she's at peace now that she's regained her freedom.

ookiimarukochan reviewed Shunga by Timothy Clark
An educational read
4 stars
An educational read, if nothing else for the realisation that the experts who've provided monographs have no knowledge of the world outside Japan or its' history (in particular suggesting that art world in the UK in the 18th/19th centuries avoided topics as they would upset the pope)
ookiimarukochan reviewed Mass Effect: Deception by William C. Dietz (Mass Effect, #4)
Genuinely offensive
1 star
Even when you exclude the way that no one involved in this book appears to have played the games or read previous novels in the series, the way that a severely autistic non-verbal girl turns into a neurotypical teen over the course of a few weeks "because she felt like it" is one of the most offensive things I've ever read in a book.

Valerian The Complete Collection Vol 7 Review
2 stars
Content warning Spoilers for the end of the series!
Can't believe that Mezieres and Christin went for the awful ending that pops up too much in Japanese fiction - "the hero's memories have been deleted/destroyed but it's a happy ending because we can make new ones!" - no, that person is dead now. Ugh.
