I can hear the waves sucking at the land's edge; I can hear the parables, the fables of water, the elusive but lyrical weatherglass vocabularies of water. The third in Rikki Ducornet's elemental tetralogy, The Fountains of Neptune picks up some threads from the first two books, drops others, and spi...

Frighteningly misogynistic, but very well-written nonetheless.

This wonderfully strange and hormonal B-movie of a novel has the feel of an uncensored fairy-tale, and I mean that in the best possible way.

First off, I must disclose that I won this on First Reads...That out of the way, this book was unbelievable...it was even more than the description given on Good Reads. I read the book in one and a half hours (ok, it is only 128 pages!), and the majority of the time was done with my mouth open becau...
