The book started with some sensitive subjects that have been discussed that could be happening behind society’s back. Before we get to my real review, I am warning you…this may contain spoilers but not the entirety of the story nor the comic book but some glimpses that made me ask myself: What if everything is real? ![]() More depth, tragedy, questionable and life-changing decisions. We already know that Tabi Po Isyu 1 is powerful enough to provoke some hiding perspectives behind our brain and Tabi Po Isyu 2 offers more.

Stretching the facts creatively through some wily wordplay, Gooney Bird explains how she spent time in jail (while playing Monopoly), acquired diamond earrings at a palace (they came from a gumball machine in an ice cream shop called The Palace) and directed a symphony orchestra (she directed the lost driver of the bus transporting musicians to the auditorium). Readers know immediately that red-haired, freckle-face Gooney Bird Greene is as unorthodox as her name: wearing pajamas and cowboy boots, she arrives at the door of her new second-grade classroom all alone, "without even a mother to introduce her." She announces she has just moved from China (which turns out to be the name of a town, not the country) and demands "a desk right smack in the middle of the room, because I like to be right smack in the middle of everything." Dressed each day in another eccentric outfit, she relays to the class a series of stories that are "absolutely true"-even though they initially seem anything but.

You Had Me at Hola is a fun rom-com set in the world of telenovelas. ![]() As Jasmine and Ashton settle into their new roles, the heat between them is undeniable, but is it worth Jasmine breaking her new rules? While she tries to answer that question, she might find out that Ashton has some rules of his own–all to guard a very big secret.

We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close can we come to that person’s essence? We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?” – Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle “Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another? I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o’clock in the morning.” – Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades.

When they meet properly Sebastian, divine in dove-grey flannel, sweeps Charles up saying: “I’ve got a motor-car and a basket of strawberries and a bottle of Chateau Peyraguey- which isn’t a wine you’ve ever tasted, so don’t pretend. Charles first encounters Sebastian when he vomits drunkenly into his rooms through an open window. Silvery, yet so much deeper than it’s cultural shorthand, all does not end well. As crisp as a collar for a college ball, as louche as a pair of flannels, it harks nostalgically to a pre-war golden age describing the intense infatuation between the bourgeois Charles Ryder and the hedonistic Lord Sebastian Flyte. I didn’t go to Oxford but all Brideshead readers feel they have. “There was always a sense that Brideshead was somewhere close,” says Simon, a more recent Oxford graduate. “Even if you rejected the whole Sebastian aesthetic, you were aware of it.” ![]() “You couldn’t escape it,” says Adam, who was at Oxford in the 1970s. Those dreaming spires, emerald quadrangles and golden hours – “an enclosed and enchanted garden” just waiting. Brideshead is to Oxford as Oliver Twist is to London or Bonfire of the Vanities is to New York. ![]() Downton look downright shabby comparatively.
