In my last blog, I mentioned that I’m waiting for a book where I don’t despise the male character. This was completely contrary to my expectations. I LOVE thrillers, and the beginning of this book made me very delighted. It was a narcos scene mixed with Money Heist. I agree with what everyone says about […] read full post >>

Hello everyone, when I read Ricardo Piglia’s “Money to Burn” it was, in my opinion, a compelling story about mystery, deceit, and the complex dynamics of power.

During class last week we were once again given a small spoiler for this book in the form of “it’s something different than the coming-of-age stories we’ve read as it’s going to be a thriller” and that description stayed true while reading this week’s book. Right from the beginning we are thrown into a fast-paced […] read full post >>

Dang that was crazy. At first I read this book as a completely fictitious account not at all inspired by a true story, but throughout most of it I was like wow the addition of the newspapers and “eyewitness” accounts really made it more realistic. But afterward I was like… well how much of that […] read full post >>
