*A very late Book review…Copied from my facebookshelf account

My love for it ,stems from Haruki’s very interesting scenarios laden with ambiguos endings. As well as a comical if not...

How much is your soul worth?
This book was the third book I have read by Maureen Johnson. While the two previous ones; 13 little Blue envelopes and the last little blue envelope was more leaning towards ‘realistic’ fiction, Devilish was more directed towards the supernatural.

It is unfortunate that I have yet to immerse myself in these books, the reason being has been that I have been to preoccupied with reading my social science text and some library borrowed books.

I saw...
