This is primarily a blog of book reviews. I simply just love reading and I like to record my informal thoughts and reviews on books that I come across. I prefer books with very high stakes so I mostly read crime, noir, and horror/sci-fi, but I enjoy any great story. I'll go for anything as long as it's good!

A friend mentioned that there is a stereotype that most black men don't read fiction. Well, I'm here to prove otherwise!

ANIMOSITY VOL. 1 by Marguerite Bennett
One day, all of America's animals inexplicably gain human-like
consciousness and the ability to speak English and talk alotta shit.
They rise up and this leads to a new way of life where the human-animal
relationship is shaky at best. But through all of this, a little girl
named Jesse and her beloved dog and protector Sandor (cause he's a
Hound...duh!) go on a journey to find Jesse's half-bro. Animosity
has an eye-catching premise and some really inspired elements. For
example, what would happen to all the meat lovers in this brave new
world where a cow might be policing the streets? But this first volume
was a bit inconsistent in tone and that was a little distracting. And
the writers seemed to struggle with finding each character's voice. But
hopefully those are the growing pains of a first volume and it'll all
get rectified next time!
