Welcome back to another Quicky Review everyone.
A lot of the time I like to read short stories, prequels and free
audiobooks that are short and sweet. But why do a full review on a book
that is say...80 pages long. So I do Quicky Reviews for the
shorties and children books as well. Basically, the short stories get
short reviews.
Here are just a few sentences on one comic book and one short audiobook.
There are other Quicky Reviews for you to check out too and don't worry
there will be more to come. I like short stories because most of
them are FREE and I can get in and out of one in no time.

Book Description
A popular question in philosophy is "How do I know I exist?" That seems
really boring, though. How about, "How can I use logic to get over my
ex?" If you really love wisdom, you love it in all situations - you
don't need to be spoon fed unsolved problems in philosophy, because
you're already analyzing the US Weekly you’re reading or your
kinda significant other. Sarah Heuer and Chrissy Stockton are writers
living in Minneapolis who are determined to do something more
interesting with their philosophy degrees than talk about dead white
guys.
My Thoughts
Why would you create a book to talk down to people about their religious beliefs and call it "Critical Thinking"? This was a waste and I am not happy about the audiobook itself, the time I wasted on it and I am a bit upset about the nonsense of it all. Thank God it was FREE! Otherwise Audible.com would be refunding me a credit. I really disliked this audiobook and I finished it only to tell you...don't do it! There is no wisdom in this book at all just chatter.

Book Description
Following his ground-breaking, critically acclaimed run on Detective Comics, writer Scott Snyder (American Vampire) alongside artist Greg Capullo (Spawn) begins a new era of The Dark Knight as with the relaunch of Batman, as a part of DC Comics—The New 52!
After a series of brutal murders rocks Gotham City, Batman begins to realize that perhaps these crimes go far deeper than appearances suggest. As the Caped Crusader begins to unravel this deadly mystery, he discovers a conspiracy going back to his youth and beyond to the origins of the city he's sworn to protect. Could the Court of Owls, once thought to be nothing more than an urban legend, be behind the crime and corruption? Or is Bruce Wayne losing his grip on sanity and falling prey to the pressures of his war on crime?

My Thoughts
Man have comic books come a long way since I was a kid. I love the illustrations! The only issue I have is how violent it is. Dang! Are comic books for kids still? It was like watching a HBO TV show. There is violence on almost every single page. The story line was interesting and I would like to see where it goes from here.
