[REVIEW] Life After Life

Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was hard to get connected to the story and with this family, the first 150 pages were a bit of a sacrifice... maybe because the structure is so different from what I normally read — which is a good thing in the end, do we really want to read the same kind of book over and over again?
I liked it, I am even interested in Todd family book nr 2, but i didn’t love it. Todd’s love for dogs was very cute, Ursula conclusion that missing motherhood means life has no purpose was just boring.
My favorite part was when she made a plan to change the world and kill the Fuhrer... I bet I would have given 5* to the book if 60% of it was about that Ursula :-) what can I say, I am such a fan of badass heroines <3

[REVIEW] Insatiable: Porn - A Love Story

Insatiable: Porn - A Love Story by Asa Akira
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I have been trying to educate myself in feminism and racial justice, and I feel that I am becoming more and more tolerant to different choices (there is still a long way to go, though).
Porn is a topic of "disagreement" between many different feminist points of view and I don't have yet an opinion about it, to be honest. I also don't feel very entitled to have an opinion about a reality I simply don't know, so when this book was part of a Kindle's e-deals, I immediately took it.
If my intentions were to clarify my stand about porn, forget about it, I am even more confused!
About Asa, well she's a badass: writing so openly about sex and the industry in today's context/society means self-acceptance, courage... For me there is a long way to go, but I'll keep learning!
