Nocturnal Book Reviews

I find it really amusing that every time Marta writes a new book the reviews go extremely polar from hate to love. The reason is that she has a very specific writing style and sense of humour, so you either like her or not.

I adore Marta's books. Every single one. She is hilarious, extravagant and very nerdy. What's not to love? And The She-Hulk Diaries is Marta at her best.


Dahlia took out her phone. "What's Tony Stark's phone number?"
"That is a high-security number. I am not authorized to release it."
She glared t me with those scary turquoise contacts, and I caved and told her. "You can't call him! What are you going to say?"
She sucked in her cheeks and after a moment told me, "Eetz ringing. Here is hiz message," and then she pitched her voice higher and said, "Toneeee, zees eez Claudette. You must dream of how we had ze most spendid ooh, la la. I am missing ze, how you say, ze cycle, and you are ze papa! Alorz, I ham talking to my attorneez today. You weell be zo happy with le famileee, Toneee. Sink of a name.Je adore Hasselhoff. Hasselhoff Stark!"
I was laughing so hard that my margarita went up my nose, which Dahlia thought was hilarious. Finally, I said, "It won't work. He'll never believe it because..." But how do you tell someone your genius ex-boyfriend invented microscopic nanobots to retrieve wayward sperm?You don't.


Jennifer Walters is a very talented high-end attorney but her alter ego, Shulky, is an enormous, vivacious, party-loving green monster who constantly ruins her plans for a normal life. So when She-Hulk is kicked out from The Avengers mansion and reduced to policing New York, Jen had enough.

She makes a list of Valentine's Day resolutions and slowly goes through it with much hilarity and total chaos in the process.

Be ready for constant stream of sharp-tongued excellent humour, sarcastic best friends, nerdy blind dates, fight with evil Doctors, rock-star chemists, starring court appearances and perfect hair-does. It all will be worth it in the end, peeps!

The rock-star is unbelievably hot, the tension between him and Jen is of the best type: some old history, some misunderstanding, some good old hatred and a lot of sexy sparks. Marta being Marta writes all these wonderful hits for the rock-star, which I can't help but absolutely adore.


I'll crawl from the primordial sludge
For you.
I'll give up my gills and prehensile appendage
For you.
I'll invent the wheel, I'll discover fire
Inspired by desire,
For you, for you.
I'll draw your pictograph on cave walls
I'll slay T.Rex with a sharp rock,
And all to win your heart.

Overall, The She-Hulk Diaries is a pure joy to read. And it's worth it just to see Jen taking a piss out of Tony Stark. *grinning* Highly recommended.
