Read this for my book club (january) although it was well written and pretty compelling (a page turner), I was pretty disappointed in how the story developed. I'm not sure it's reallly that believeable at all.

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Trần Thư Khải

Sometimes I believe the perfect combination is kinky sex and angsty men. Add in a cowboy theme and an intense, yet easy to read story and gay erotic romance fans are likely to devour this. Nowhere Ranch offers all these highlights and more, yet offsets this with a somewhat preachy anti-homophobic message and a very sweet, overly idealistic ending. The first half of the book is near pitch perfect with incredibly hot sex scenes and truly fascinating men. This tapers off towards the end with family drama, an overly manipulative female presence and a wrapped up ending but the attempt at such a complex story is still pretty successful. This is an easy story to recommend even considering the flaws. The story is told in first person narration from Roe’s perspective as he struggles with finding a place in the world. After getting kicked out of his tight knit farming family for being gay, Roe tries to stay in his hometown but a bar fight leads to jail time. After jail Roe leaves the Midwest and drifts from farm to farm, ranch to ranch until he ends up at Nowhere Ranch in Nebraska. Soon after Roe hooks up with the ranch’s owner Travis as their kinky, rough appetites compliment each other. Although they’re only after sex, the two fall into a relationship that is complicated by each man’s painful past. Right away the narrative is punctuated with some truly inspired sex scenes. In fact the first half of the book is so erotic and steamy that it nearly sets the pages on fire. The scenes initially focus on the sex itself with almost detached emotion. Both men get something out of these encounters, more than just tension release and they feed darker desires. Within the sex the two men let go, they talk dirty a lot and discuss fantasies. There is fisting, pony play, domination, submission, and a little humiliation/slut talk. This isn’t hard core but it’s easily a defining aspect of their sex life. As the two get more involved their relationship builds up around them. This helps bring more emotion and layered context into the sex scenes. They’re no longer just about getting off (and wonderfully so as this book is hot, hot, hot) but also about creating an emotional connection. Roe is slowly bound physically, emotionally, and metaphorically which overtakes his instinct to run and flee. Interestingly though, the main couple almost never talks. Their dynamic is built on the things they don’t say, their actions, and the emotions they feel rather than long drawn out conversations. The few in depth talks they do have are laden with repressed emotion and a wealth of issues difficult to express. It’s more the quiet strength, intrinsic trust, and silent support that are the foundation for these two. This makes the characterization of both men complex, interesting, and fresh. The story doesn’t rely on dialogue to tell their relationship but shows it instead. Unfortunately this takes a turn towards the end of the book when Roe’s family in Iowa catches up to him and he must return home for a short time. The story from there turns into telling the reader what happens and then the time line leaps forward to an overly sweet, idealistic ending. While I don’t mind a firm happy ending, this takes away from the impact of the story and definitely dilutes the strength of Roe and Travis’ connection. When the romance doesn’t rely on dialogue and the intimate interaction, not just kinky sex, stops being shown there is only the written reassurance all is fine to placate readers. This really left me wishing the story hadn’t gone in that direction. Similarly the character of Haley is very polarizing. In some ways I appreciate this 19 y/o pregnant dynamo that whirls around defending Roe and getting things done. Unfortunately I found her to be overly manipulative and preachy. I like the scene where she tells off Roe’s family yet the entire dialogue is incredibly preachy on both sides of the argument. Not only that but Haley goes around manipulating every character in the novel to her own end, disregarding anyone else’s desires in her immature belief that she knows best. I want to like Haley as she’s an intelligent, capable spitfire but she’s way too heavy handed and comes across as the author’s voice rather than a flawed, complex person in her own right. Haley’s manipulations play into the idealistic ending unfortunately which leaves the story on a somewhat rushed and simplistic note. This isn’t exactly reflective of the novel itself, which I think is more complicated and infinitely better written than the ending shows. This is an easy novel to recommend and it’s definitely one I would read again. I’d be interested in seeing this couple again in the future but only if the focus is on these two as the supporting cast doesn’t interest me very much. Roe and Travis are such a fascinating, complicated couple they don’t need distractions and can hold the spotlight on their own. Either way you really won’t want to miss this one.

101 Điều Em Muốn Biết - Vũ Trụ Diệu Kỳ (Tập 2) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Lưu Sướng

It still baffles me that Anne is never truly recognized as an author in her own right, but usually delegated to a foot note in the history of her better known sisters. Again, while this book doesn't approach Villette, Jane Eyre, or Wuthering Heights in its complexity or perfection of composition, it's a solidly strong and well-written book. It seems a little under-developed but the vastly realistic portrayal of a governess' life comes off as closer-to-life than the grandiose, melodramatic, Gothic counterpart in Jane Eyre. Anne is ignored most likely because her sublime novels are so much more down to earth than her sisters' work.

For some reason, there are people who hate Kurt Vonnegut. Those people are idiots. If I ever write a book I hope that I can write one that is one quarter as moving, incredible, heartbreaking, and funny as this one is. Plus, you can read it in a day.

Well written by an author ahead of her time. I was disapointed to learn that the controversy over this book prevented her from writing more. A very interesting exploration of women and society in the late 20th century.

I absolutely love this author, even though its been awhile since I've read this story, I've gone on to read nearly ten other vonnegut books, and loved them all. He has a great blend of cycicism, and dry wit humor, and absurd plotlines.
