We all love to travel, to new places, new cities in cars, buses, caravans, by air, by the sea but I have travelled everyday since I was ten through books. I have let the ocean kiss my feet on the Coast of Ipanema and nosed around in Calgary and my travel expenses have never been more than the price of a McDonald Cheese Burger. Here's my travelogue where books can be found through the countries they have taken me to. The reviews are not professional and definitely not worth putting into a book review assignment for school! They are just a string of words that tell you what I felt when I travelled to a certain place. If it suits you, you go and book yourself a trip. If not, well...we'll keep it there!

Sabrina FairSabrina Fair by Samuel Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had my own set of qualms about reading Sabrina Fair because I loved the movie too much and didn't want a different story-line to ruin the charm for me! Bad News: it did! Good News: And for a good reason! Unlike the movie, where because it is a typical Cindrella Story, Sabrina is a love-struck idiot and David a Casanova, Sabrina Fair presents all the characters in a new light where our heroine is as much of a realist as she is romantic, our hero is gullible and naïve and more of an over-grown moron and our anti-hero is an imp and a hardcore feminist. The play is full of interesting characters like Julia, who wasn't even there in the movie and Linus Larrabee Sr., who enjoys going to funerals for fun! Because this story shatters the ideas of fairy-tale romance and then restores it only for the sake of practicality and because it is deeply feminist in nature, it deserves as much admiration as Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man and hence deserves the same rating!
