Book Review

I review books for fun


Une revue en français pour changer. De toute façon, plus de 900 pages pour ma version, est ce que ce livre sera un jour traduit en Anglais ? Au Printemps des Monstres est un livre roman/documentaire/enquête à la cold case/autobiographique dans lequel Philippe Jaenada raconte et retranscrit ses recherches sur […]

Au Printemps des Monstres : review


Resuming my Hemingway cycle after a few other books, which I won’t review here, I decided to pick up the next book from my bookshelf : a Moveable Feast. In this book, Hem shares his life in Paris in the 1920’s, working on his writing after quitting journalism, being all […]

A Moveable Feast: review


Since I first witnessed the bloody brilliance of the plot of the Handmaid’s Tale, I wanted to read something from Margaret Atwood. I randomly found the Tent while visiting one of the coolest book shops in London. The Tent is a collection of short stories, essay, poems, tales, concepts by […]

Some quick words about The Haunting issue, Autumn 2022. At first I thought it […]

Popshot Quarterly: review





Sur un ton un peu moins corporate que d’habitude, voici une première revue littéraire en français, et peut-être pas la dernière. C’est Eki-Libre qui ouvre le bal. Attention, en tant que fan boy, il y a parti pris. Eki-Libre a été écrit par Kriss, YouTuber français vétéran en questionnement permanent. […]

Eki-Libre: review




As working closely with IT systems, this is the book I wish I have read a long time ago. Written by David Kennedy, Jim O’Gorman, Devon Kearns and Mati Aharoni, all working in Security and contributing to security tools, the book describes precisely how a modern professional attack against an IT infrastructure is […]
