Quentin Tarantino – Pulp Fiction | Review

Title: Pulp Fiction

Author: Quentin Tarantino

Type: Fiction

Page Count/Review Word Count: 200

Rating: 4.5/5

I mean, you pretty much know what you’re getting here. This is literally the screenplay for the Tarantino movie, and because of that it’s hard to give it anything below a 4.5/5. It’s a fantastic movie and the screenplay is just as good on its own.

Better still, it comes with a bunch of photographs included in there as well as some scenes that were either removed or changed for the final thing. It’ll probably help if you’ve seen the movie at least a couple of times because you’ll be more familiar with that and you’ll start to understand why those decisions were made.

I ended up reading it and then watching the movie in the same day, and that’s probably the best way to go about it if you ask me. I had lots of fun with it and I’m glad that I read it, but it helped that I was a fan of the movie already and that I’ve studied screenplays and even written one of my own before. What more do you want me to say?

Celia Haddon – Cats Behaving Badly

My main problem with this book is that the entire thing felt like one long advertisement for Feliway. It felt like that was the answer to one half of the questions and the answer to the other half was to rehome your cat. Celia Haddon, the book’s author, is a cat agony aunt, and while she does offer a fair amount of good advice in this book, it also gets pretty repetitive. and I felt as though some of the questions could have been combined or removed altogether.

Still, if you can get past that then it’s a decent enough reference book, and you can’t say that it’s not comprehensive. It covers pretty much every area you could ask for including questions about breeding cats or caring for specific injuries or illnesses. I read it from cover to cover though, and I guess that’s not really how it’s designed to be read.

All in all, it was okay, and it pretty much lived up to the low expectations that I had for it. I’m not sure if I’d necessarily recommend it though, even to other cat owners. Even the anecdotes of the cats that Haddon has met fell a little flat. There was just something about it that stopped me from engaging with it, and that’s a shame. Maybe I just already know enough about our furry feline friends.
