Read this in conjunction w/ The Night Ocean by Paul LaFarge and there are a lot of similarities - drowning, astral projection, discussion of flying cars in science fiction of a certain era, the slipperiness of memory. But apart from these themes, they are very different books. It was interesting to ...

Await Your Reply is ultimately a tragic story featuring characters who are lost or mentally ill and either want a new start or can't let go of the past.

The title says it all: Strange case. Hulk seems to be based off of this, but I enjoyed both. I think we're due for another adaptation of this story.

I'm not sure how to review this book. There were sometimes when this book was down to earth and readable. Then there were times when it was out there and it was like reading psycho babble from someone who was on some really heavy drugs. Of course, one of the characters was really eff'd up, so I gues...

I received this book via NetGalley to give an honest review. When I read the blurb I really was interested in what this story was going to be about. It seemed to right up my alley. Well that wasn't the case for me I was really totally lost through out the whole book. It seemed too have two differe...
Philosophical Musings of a Book Nerd
Like me, many of you out there in Booklikes Land probably have never read this story and only know it through images like this (though since this is Booklikes then I suspect more people have read the book than the general population): This is not surprising since many of the stories that we ...
