Tacky
Originally, I thought Tacky would be a psychological or nostalgic look into millennial pop culture of the 2000s. While that culture is described here, it is used solely as a backdrop to the author’s personal memoir. The book also emphasizes sex and bad relationships that may be inappropriate for youngContinue Reading

A Hole in the World
Cities disappear in this spinoff from the Sky series, A Hole in the World. The tale is a military thriller with a supernatural twist. I’m not sure if it is because I jumped into this series late, but A Hole in the World is a miss for me. About halfContinue Reading
Banksy: Completed
Banksy: Completed is, of course, about Banksy the provocative street artist. The book attempts, rather well I think, to explain how art critics view art differently from the public. And critics have almost unanimously hated Banksy from the start. It also investigates the nature of art itself. Can graffiti evenContinue Reading
