Not my favorite Holland, for sure. In her defense, she wrote the book at 21. Maybe that's why the characters have about as much complexity as the average Hollywood action blockbuster. And the format in this Kindle edition is amateurish enough to be distracting. There's a story here, of Hungarian n...
A pretty good anthology, with a wide cross-section of genres, albeit a little fantasy heavy (I actually see that as a good thing). I've seen a number of negative reviews for this particular collection, and I wonder if that's just a knee-jerk reaction to the fact that Martin's putting out a book othe...
A bit too uneven an anthology to recommend wholeheartedly. I probably liked Brandon Sanderson's story the most; Abercrombie, Abbott, Lindholm, and (to an extent) Cadigan were also quite palatable. A few others (Martin, Grossman, Spector, Butcher) are likely to fall flat unless you're already familia...
This is an anthology, where all the stories are focused around love and death. I know, extremely surprising, based on the title. I will write a tiny bit about each of the stories, and conclude with my general impression of the anthology as a whole.Love Hurts by Jim Butcher - 4 stars.See my write-up...
I stayed up much too late reading this Kindle Single. Outrage and fury do that to me. Novelist Cecelia Holland tells the facts of this moment in history, the Railroad Strike of 1877, like the storyteller she's honed her skills to be. My outraged shrieks can be read at http://tinyurl.com/myv4yu3
Subtitled "a novel of Eleanor of Aquitaine" the book covers the period from August 1151 when Eleanor first met her future husband, Henry III of England, and May of 1152 when she married him. This book just never gripped me, even if it was good enough to keep me reading to the end. Some things I did ...
I'm not really sure what to make of this one. For me, it struggled to get going, was overly long and petered out with an ending that left you wondering why you bothered. Don't get me wrong, it certainly had it's moments. Most of the time I was fairly gripped, wanted to find out what would happen, wh...
I'm giving this book four stars because I enjoyed pretty much every word in it. So why not five? Because for the most part I did not come away from the book with any great insights that would change the course of my writing. It was a very entertaining read, especially Orson Scott Cards' section, ...
This is an anthology. I will forewarn all readers now so that my review and rating is better understood.I think Jack Dann did a fair enough job picking out stories to put together for this book Some I liked better than others so I will be rating and reviewing (briefly) each story individually.1) D...
