THE DAY OF

When I think of my wife, I always think of her head. The shape of it, to begin with. The very first time I saw her, it was the back of the head I saw, and there was something lovely about it, the angles of it. Like a shiny, hard corn kernel or a riverbed fossil. She had what the Victorians would call a finely shaped head. You could imagine the skull quite easily.
 I'd know her head anywhere.

Some time back I received a mail asking me if I would like to review this very interesting book titled 'Parenting: Illustrated With Crappy Pictures by Amber Dusick'. To be honest, since I hadn't heard about the book earlier, my first thought was that this was going to another of those 'crappy' books that I have received for review in the past (no pun intended).

A Fraction of The Whole by Steve Toltz: Review

"I use Grammarly's online grammar check because having bad grammar is like licking up the garlic dip and turning on your bar stool for her number, you're doomed from the start!

The first time I came across this book, I wasn't aware of it's status at the Man Booker Prize. A Fraction of The Whole by Steve Toltz is a 2008 novel that was shortlisted for the Man Booker prize in the same year. The main reason I picked up the book was due to it's quirky story line Sane families are all alike - but every crazy family is crazy in its own way. Whoa!!! That sure grabbed my attention.

If you want to understand a bit more about the storyline, here's the cover jacket for you to read: CLICK HERE

Before we move on to the review, here are the details about the book:
Title: A Fraction of The Whole
Author: Steve Toltz
Publisher: Penguin
No. of Pages: 711

Type of cover read in: Paperback (also available in hardback)

The book is surely a huge book, given that it's over 700 pages, but the best part about reading it, especially if you're not the type of person who likes to read big books, is that the story is so interesting and the pages go by so fast, you won't really realise how much you'll end up reading.
