Red queen christopher pike5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() He was able to go back and forth between the real world and Witch World seamlessly and did so between the characters who existed in both worlds simultaneously. ![]() ![]() ![]() You receive hours of enjoyment from each book without having to buy fourteen quickies, ya know? Witch World held my interest. He doesn't give you a novella and call it a book. And I have to give him props for writing a complete book. I have enjoyed Christopher Pikes Thirst series and he is a wonderful writer who writes women quite well. She also seemed to speak in a whiny pitch when speaking in Jessica's voice which made me come to not like the character! When she spoke for a male character, she made me cringe and reminded me of kids in high school making crank calls and putting on a "man's voice". Justine did not speak clearly and has a habit of allowing her words to drift into a mumble towards the end of a sentence. That was the first thing that put me off about this audiobook. I didn't like Justine's way of speaking at all. What didn’t you like about Justine Eyre’s performance? I think I will stick to Gillian Flynn, can't get enough of her books at the moment! What do you think your next listen will be? Maybe someone with more appreciation for Sci-Fi would enjoy this better than I did. The whole story just seemed to drag on and branch out into other stories ultimately to no end. I am a big Pike fan, but I really did not enjoy this book. This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? ![]()

Eugenides jeffrey middlesex5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Middlesex Book ReviewĪ tale that’s about as different from The Virgin Suicides as it could possibly get, Middlesex is a story of epic proportions that tells the tale of Calliope – a character who was born intersex and raised as a girl – but who, during their adolescence becomes Cal. And so read it, I did, over one very, very wet week in Byron, during which the sky remained low and looming and grey, and I spent much of the week curled up on the sofa, candles flickering, tea in hand, as I lost myself in Eugenides much-loved modern classic. Over the years I’ve collected a handful of copies, and when I headed to Byron with a friend in November, I took it, promising I wouldn’t return to Bondi with a single page unread. One such book I did manage to tick of the list – and one that had been on my ever-growing reading pile ever since I first read Jeffrey Eugenides’ The Virgin Suicides when I lived in Los Angeles – was the author’s second book, and winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize, Middlesex. Alas, I wasn’t, and while I read just shy of 90 books in total, as I often lament, I wish I had been more particular in selecting the books I chose to read. It was something of an ambitious list – but one that I should – and could – have finished, had I been more diligent in my reading. Towards the end of 2022, I looked at a list I had made last January of all the books I wanted to finish before the year was out. ![]()

The road to perdition graphic novel5/28/2023 ![]() But be warned: once you pick them up you won't be able to put them down. While I am not a huge fan of graphic novels- I either love them or hate them- I highly recommend both of these titles, which can be read in one sitting of 1-2 hours. I couldn't put it down once I picked it up and was pleased to discover a sequel of sorts, On the Road, which fleshes out three different points in time in the original story. Violent and fast-paced this graphic novel provides action, a compelling story and well-developed characters. ![]() The black and white illustrations lend the perfect feel to this tale of sin and redemption. Throughout their meanderings all over the midwest Michael and his father forge a closer relationship, coming to respect and depend upon each other in ways they never did before. What follows is a father/son story, a revenge tale and a vision of the Depression era Chicago underworld. is determined to get his son to Perdition, KS to the safety of an aunt and uncle. Upon arriving home they realize they are in trouble- the rest of their family has been murdered and they have to go on the run to survive. ![]()
