Red Light is a sequel of sorts to Thom Lane’s White Flag. The characters are related in a general sense but you don’t need to read the previous book in order to appreciate this one. In fact they are so similar it’s probably best not to read them too close together. I didn’t mind the similarities since it’d been a while since I read White Flag and all the reasons I liked the previous book are here once again; the beautiful lyrical prose, the sense of ease, wonder, and vivid beauty of the setting and characters. This isn’t a heart stopping book, it’s a languid journey into love that’s satisfying for its ease and lightness than anything else. Jeff is in his late twenties and just out of a long term relationship. He’d been with his lover since he was a student and now he’s a doctor (so I assume close to all his 20’s). However Jeff is now bitter and heart broken once he discovered his partner had been cheating on him and left him. Jeff decides to take their pre-paid vacation to France to learn about living alone and runs into the young beautiful Benet. Sparks immediately fly and the two engage in an easy vacation fling that soon becomes something more. However Jeff is determined never to get his heart broken again and refuses to believe in love, no matter what his heart tells him. The plot is at best character driven but it really meanders along. Not much really happens as Jeff and Benet do things together, eat, talk, and have sex. The majority of this activity is told to the reader and very little is shown. Some readers may find this slow or boring, though for me the prose really captured my attention and is what held me to the story more than anything. The writing tries to capture the romance, the sensuality, and the beauty in the small moments and not necessarily the words spoken and actions taken. We never see the conversations, we’re simply told they happen. We never really see what Benet and Jeff see, we’re told they had a fun day and then onto the sex. Part of the reason this never feels boring or frustrating is that I really enjoyed the simplicity of the writing. The imagery evoked and beauty of the settings drew me in and never let my attention wander. The first person narrator offers an intimate look at Jeff’s personality, his overwhelming fear of relationships and love, and his growing feelings for Benet. The focus is never on what they do or say but it’s on the communication between their bodies and the comfort they achieve together, the passion that never diminishes. Whether this style appeals is likely to vary from reader to reader and an example of the writing is below: And then, okay, maybe his hand steals between your legs, maybe you reach to find his mouth with yours, maybe you have slow and easy sex in the early sun and maybe that matters as much as anything, but it isn’t crucial. Whether or not you make love, there’s still all the fun of what follows: Arguing softly about who gets to use the bathroom first, who has to move before the other one can, who gets to lie a little longer in the soft, warm nest of the bed and watch him go, watch him come back. The characterization of both men is decent but as with the ending, left wanting. Jeff is so desperately afraid of pain after his last break up that he acts and feels like a man much, much older than he is. Jeff is only 28 but he acts like a man well into his 40s. His thoughts and feelings are often expressed as if a generation is between he and Benet rather than a mere 5 years. This causes some disconnect and alters the chemistry between the two men. The tension in the story revolves around whether a vacation fling can turn into a real romance, if the men will let it, but this is very reminiscent to White Flag. The ending is really a non-ending with none of the very real issues worked out or resolved. There is the hope of a future though and for some readers this may be enough. Beyond the evocative writing the supporting cast of characters is simply delightful. They’re caricatures but that doesn’t diminish their enjoyment and entertainment. For those fans that liked White Flag you’ll very likely enjoy Red Light. The story is very similar in many ways and the writing has the exact same style. I personally didn’t mind as I like the writing and prose and will happily sink into these characters whenever offered. This isn’t the quickest romance but it’s easy, lyrical, and beautiful on many levels.

While far from edgy or avant garde, Fetch by Scott Roche is a remarkable little story with a number of uncommon observations lurking just beneath the surface. The story is written from the POV of one reverend Ian, the parish priest in a small Irish town. In a tone reminiscent of Flannery O’Connor, he tells his tale in an unaffected manner, while relaying the most agonizing circumstances and emotional trauma. Father Ian is approached by a parishioner fearful that a doppelganger has come to do him harm and asks Father Ian to reconsecrate an old and disused cemetery in order to insure protection. Father Ian puts the old man off but is drawn into a supernatural intrigue when he later finds the old man dead in his own easy chair. Like O’Connor Roche focuses on the observations of the POV character painting the world with the broad, surrealist strokes and sparse description that characterize human recollection, with intermittent swathes of intense detail that relate the Character’s and possibly author’s heightened emotions. It’s a good read and well worth the price of admission.

Hmmm...this book was interesting. It showed a lot of promise, but it didn't captivate my attention as much as some books did. It wasn't a page-turner like others. It was very similar to Lisi Harrison's first series, the Clique series, which, in my opinion based on this first book, is better. The survival-of-the-fittest element was very interesting, and I will continue to follow this series to find out what happens. My favorite character, however, had to be Charlie. She seemed to me to be the smartest main character. I admire her ability to be such a techie and a nerd, and yet at the same time be accepted by the general populations.

Khi Lỗi Thuộc Về Những Vì Sao Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

A beautiful book. I had a hard time at the beginning because I think I was expecting it to be The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, and it wasn't. But as I got deeper into it I enjoyed it more and more. I still prefer The Book of Laughter and Forgetting and think it's a 'better' book. Unbearable Lightness was great though, using his same style of short vignettes, sliced up chapters that jump around in time and have long flowing descriptions and stiflingly isolated characters. The ending was beautiful, to draw a completely erroneous analogy, it made me think of Grapes of Wrath, as if the entire book is worth the taste that just the last ten pages leaves in your mouth. It's a culmination of all this sadness and beauty and tiny little happinesses we find. It's quite good. I enjoyed it very much. Milan Kundera continues to make me think about things and entice me with his extensive etymological and czech-historical knowledge. And, granted this is because of my past semester and my studies, but it is totally enchanting for anyone grappling with their own sense of agency in a deterministic world. beautiful discussions of fate and self vs. body. just very rich all around.

Love so much about this one: Merlin growing youngerly foolish, the visit to the ants, Arthur's wistful knowingness, Lancelot's strange appearance, all of the intrigue and tragedy, "Wart." I've read and reread it, and thinking about it now makes me want to all over again. The first part of the book was adapted into Disney feature The Sword in the Stone and lost all of the mystery and magic of T. H. White's telling.

An exciting second in the Deadwood series! I am so hooked and am on baited breath for the third book. This installment into Violet's life as a single mom trying to ilk out a living with a pair of twins who create a whirlwind of interesting adventures on their own, is even better then the first. It fills out characters whose development has already been some of the best in this genre. Violet is a believable and real person. She does not have long flowing hair and legs up to her arm pits, she struggles with the baby weight she has had since the twins were born, is short, has unruly, wild hair and real financial issues. Even the most despicable characters in the novel are likeable simply because of the fact they are real, fleshed out and above all people/animals that embroil themselves into your life, especially Elvis the chicken!! If you have any doubts, just do a test read, I guarantee you will be hooked and reading them in no time!

An energetic, blistering poetic account of Robert Service's Yukon experiences. I like to think of him as the Jack London of poetry.

Những Cấp Cứu Ngoại Tiêu Hóa Thường Gặp Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: PGS.TS. Nguyễn Cường Thịnh

At first I had a hard time getting through this book. A lot of it was from Froan's perspective and he was a pretty unlikable character. However, when the tale turned to Yim and Honus the book really got my attention. Yim and Honus have a very endearing relationship. They both understand that even though they may love each other there are other things that come before each other. I am conflicted by the ending. It seems Morgan Howell has a revulsion to a typical happy ending. He prefers the bittersweet variety (also like the Queen of the Orcs series). Overall I enjoyed the series. Morgan Howell is a master at Dark Fantasy and will continue to be an avid reader of his work.
