How to Talk to Girls at PartiesHow to Talk to Girls at Parties by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked the original short story a lot. Specially when Triolet explains those ideas about poem/ poetry and patterns. When I grabbed this graphic novel, was wondering about those parts, how they’re gonna put those in pictures?
But Moon and Ba proved themselves awesome, again. The story, in short, felt a bit rushed in, but it still has the original essence, with those strange colours and line art.
And again, who ain’t gonna love Neil Gaiman? Anyone? Nobody.

Choosing a movie to watch, before reading the book

(Public domain image) So, before I had to dive in into the mysterious moors of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, I was thinking to watch a movie adaptation of it, just to get a heads-up about the story-line.  Usually I don't do this. I am a proud member of the club called "the book was better".  But because this book was meant to be read as a textbook, not entirely for pleasure, I chose to attack the story by all means I get my hands on.  I searched for it in Prime Video, found three movies, one was made in 1939, the other two were in some later years.  I'm not sure why, I chose to watch the 1939 version. Probably because, in the back of my mind, I was expecting it to be closer to the original novel.  So I watched it, and then read the book. And found out that the movie cut off the entire volume 2 of the book!  I was really disappointed. But at the same time, it felt good to know that the book shall be better, always. :)

Hemingway in 3 panels!
