Follow my travels as I visit the world via books (since I have neither the money nor the time to do it in real life). It's not meant as a challenge (for my) but I'm just curious to see how many places I visit whilst reading. So I keep track of them and update the maps every ten books. Prepare and get ready for the next ten stops...

 

 

Thanks to the new Buzz Books I've got three books this time that I can't map at all. The Buzz Books for obvious reasons as they are hardly 'real' books. My Grandma's A Ninja is a picture book that didn't really gave any information as to where it was taking place either.

 

This leaves seven books, 3 countries and 2 continents. Not bad, not bad at all...

Grave Mercy and Dark Triumph brought me to Brittany, that ironically is a part of France nowadays. The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Time Traveller showed England in a parallel universe, while The Accidental Highwayman portrayed 18th century Britain. Danny Dirks and the Heir of Pendragon took me to the other site of the world, Washington state (US), The Room to San Francisco (California, US) and Broken Skies is set in some post-apocalyptic America.

The Room
The Room: The Definitive Guide - Ryan Finnigan

Perhaps you've heard about what is arguably the worst film out there. Maybe you've never seen The Room. This book still promises to bring you all you need to know (and a lot more) about it.

 

I saw The Room a few months ago with a friend, and there's no denying it's a very bad movie. Some claim it's 'so bad it's good', but I was mostly bored and hoped it would end soon. But when I heard about the whole cult following this movie has and I then saw this book on Netgalley, I was interested in finding out more.

 

The book certainly gives you a lot of information as well as interviews with cast members and some guides as to how to throw your spoons in the appropriate manner. They don't the big screenings where I live, but they sound like a lot of fun. I particularly liked the part where the movie is dissected in ten parts. With a lot of cynicism and humour they talk you through the movie. You don't need to have seen the movie multiple times to know exactly what they're talking about or find it funny. Unfortunately there are some scenes I'll probably never forget. The last part of the book was dedicated to other work of Tommy Wiseau, the more than a bit weird directer/producer/MC of the movie, it was also the part I liked less. I'm not really planning on watching more of his films actually. I think I've seen enough of it.

 

If you don't want to waste a complete hour and a half watching the movie and don't feel like reading an entire book about it, why not just watch the CinemaSins?

 

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchang for an honest review!
