The Secret History of Fantasy is a 19-story collection of what I'm given to understand is unusual or different fantasy, along with a couple nonfiction essays about the genre as a whole (and of course, the forward by Peter Beagle). Taken as a whole, it was a varied and sometimes fascinating read, tho...
When this started I was looking forward to seeing how Dana and Bridger were going to overcome both their relationship and overcome differences with her being deaf. More courtroom mystery and contemporary romance. Um...not this.While there is a bit of those elements, this is the thrill of the chase...
Fazit: Brutal ausgetragene Konflikte, famose Sprache und –typisch Boyle-ein unerbittliches und unausweichliches Ende.Rezension: Während einer Kreuzfahrt mit seiner Frau Carolee wird Sten Stensen, pensionierter Schuldirektor und Vietnamveteran, unversehens zum Helden. Als er und einige Mitreisende wä...
I’m glad I read John McPhee’s Control of Nature before I read this novel.

So, with my head still full...
I had a hard time deciding what to rate this, because this is a book with flashes of brilliance and insight which ultimately I don't think works. The book follows two couples that live near each other in the outskirts of Los Angeles: one a rich white tofu-eating liberal American couple, Delaney and ...
I saw the movie as a kid and have been wanting to read the book for years. Finally got around to it and it did not disappoint. One of my favorite areas of history is medical history and I found that aspect of this novel fascinating. The lengths people went to! Not all that different from fad diets n...
So I really liked The Women (Boyle's book about FLW's life and loves) and thought it might be interesting to read Boyle's take on environmentalism and our (speaking for humanity at large) responsibility towards other creatures.Unfortunately, I found this novel to be at best boring, at worst preachy,...
