áhmêđ Mőķá mokamoka — This is an excellent book about fiction, why (in one practitioner's opinion) to write it, read it, and value it. Flannery O'Connor has a matter-of-fact approach to big topics like the philosophy of art, and suffers neither fools nor mediocrity. This collection of her lectures and essays is so pithy that I was often moved to jot down quotes for later use. Some of these follow my review. The last part of the volume, which concerns being a Catholic writer, writing the Catholic novel, et cetera, is of less use to a non-Catholic or non-Christian writer. However, some of the sections in the first part of the work where the author discusses how her religion supplies the Mystery for her art are useful to anyone, as it's worthwhile for any writer to consider whether and where he or she approaches a transcendent Mystery and how that should inform and enrich his or her work. Quotes: "Fiction begins where human knowledge begins -- with the senses -- and every fiction writer is bound by this fundamental aspect of his medium." "Art is a word that immediately scares people off, as being a little too grand. But all I mean by art is writing something that is valuable in itself and that works in itself." "It's always necessary to remember that the fiction writer is much less immediately concerned with grand ideas and bristling emotions than he is with putting list slippers on clerks." (example of the clerk from Mme. Bovary) "There is no excuse for anyone to write fiction for public consumption unless he has been called to do so by the presence of a gift. It is the nature of fiction not to be good for much unless it is good in itself."

Fernando Valcazara fernandovalcazara — Raymond FEist is the man. WHile I find his female characters at time underwhelming, his ability to carry the "epic" plotline through many books and time frames is incredible. I always enjoy his books, even after multiple reads.

Marcos Barroso marcosbarroso — I thought I'd be done with Picoult after Nineteen Minutes. But...saw this on the shelves and thought I'd give it a try, as it's in audio format. Just started. It's about a child with OI (Osteoimperfecta-brittle bones). Too early to tell whether I'll like it or not. It is a little different from most audio books, as this one has a full cast. Finally finished listening to this. The full cast was a nice touch, but I absolutely hated the ending to this book. And I didn't really like hearing details of the painful breaks the child endured.

Bogdan Havrilov illustbro — ** spoiler alert ** I despise Violet Eden. I despise her with my whole being which I know a bit of an extreme emotion for a 2-dimensional character. So please just skip this review if you're afan of this book because I'm going to start a grisly character dissection after this. Violet Eden had three characters I most loath. 1. She's a bloody brat.Immature. So what, if the guy she loved spurned her? So what, if Lincoln didn't tell her the whole truth? Lincoln had been a good friend for years!!! Can she look from other's point of view. 2. She's selfish.First, she rejected being a Grigori because she's angry with Lincoln. But even after she saw the devastation the exiled angels can do to the world even to her acquaintance such as Claudia, she still wouldn't do it.Even after embracing being Grigori to save lincoln, she still whined about losing herself etc. I felt like it's always me, me, me in Violet Eden's world. 3. She's an idiot, that she is. She knew she was out of her depth. She knew that a powerful enemies would be hunting her and people around her. What's so difficult to ask help from people who knew better like Lincoln and Griffin instead of a stranger you only knew days like Phoenix who was an exiled angel some more. But the culmination of the idiotic acts she did was when she's having sex with Phoenix, who ( I knew I am being a parrot here) she only knew for a few days and an exiled angel who could control emotions some more, just to forget Lincoln. ????????????? On the good side of note, the writing is pretty decent. It's fast-paced and quite full of action. I like the desert trial scene the most. That's why I gave this book 3 star instead of 1 or 2 star.
