Chris Turner _ — She's amazing for being prolific, and I am sure there are legions of faithful Oatesians out there, but I rarely hear her books discussed as much as her activity in producing them. I own a dozen JCO books, and have finished only one, the shortest. This may be the cruelest thing a fellow writer can say, that she loses me almost always. Be that as it may, 'The Faith of a Writer: life, craft, art' is a book worth reading, if you are a writer. I can't imagine a reader having much to glean from it, unless he or she is that curious kind of reader who doesn't want to 'ignore the man behind the curtain' as the Wizard says. Throughout the book JCO seeks to remind us how normal, mundane, even coarse a writer is, and that writer, having learned one's craft well enough,is mere conduit for expression than generator. "Writing exists. Writers do not," she says. "No one wants to believe this obvious truth: the artist can inhabit any individual, for the individual is irrelevant to the art." If this were true in some perfect form, I would have been able to finish all of the novels I lifted from the bookshelf. Perhaps she has corrupted her perception of the creative act as a thing stepped from a sci-fi tale, where the essence of cognitive energy takes a human form to be transmittable, and in doing so finds itself limited by that form, which is usually human, just to communicate. The book has the value of a workshop conversation, albeit one attended by a freakishly informed speaker. Its worth must be individual, and for that I recommend it. Reads wuickly enough: done in a day.

Rodrigo Ojeda grassgraphics — ** spoiler alert ** Hmm, well, to be perfectly honest this was a bit of a let down. It's a perfectly good story for what it is, but it isn't anything that I was expecting, or what it was suggesting to be. Had I known it was going to be a lukewarm historical romance where the characters spend a lot of time doing nothing and just simper after each other, I wouldn't have bothered with it. This is set during the reign of Mary Tudor, her phantom pregnancy and the persecution of the non-Catholic heretics. I thought it was going to be about her, and if not directly following her, then at least someone in her court. But she barely features in this book. The main character is a Spaniard called Rafael, who has come over to make a sundial, as a present from the prince to his queen. Except it never gets made because of funding, blah blah blah, so you don't hear anything of the art of sundials, courtly gardens or whatever. And this guy ends up spending a year in London just hanging around. And there's generally a negative picture of London - it's always raining, it's always cold, people always have colds and the food is crap.I have a couple of her other books to read and I hope they are better. I hold out, because I've seen some reviews where people have read a few of her books and they thought the others were much better than this one.

Fahriye Bozkırlı fahriyebozkirli — Enjoyable fable.

Ivan Agudelo ivanagudelo — I read about this book on npr.com. Someone mentioned it, saying something like, "this is the best book I've read since Geek Love." So I said to myself, "Hmm, that sounds interesting" and looked it up on bn.com. (I get bored at work.) I read there that it is about a circus family that intentionally messes with their genes in order to breed freaks. And then I was hooked.

Viridiana Rincón viririnconrebollar — His earlier works are way better.
