A fantastic book. Simply the best price of historical fiction I have read in years. Great characters thrown into terrible situations, great pacing and just enough historical detail to make you feel you are there but not overwhelm. Felt like I lived the Civil War with the characters. It is however graphically violent and contains sexual violence. Highly recommend this one, it was a treat to read.

Think Like a Freak | Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner

Picked up this book for a change a pace and really enjoyed it. Too often in politics or business or in our personal lives we get led astray by fuzzy thinking or dogmatism. The authors outline a series of guidelines to help avoid poor conclusions and to generate new approaches to problems. Lots of useful guidance. It doesn‘t purport to offer answers rather techniques for finding them on your own. The writing style was quite engaging.

Trollkonstnaren I think I want to read this :D I am interested in how to improve myself by breaking (insane) standards. 5y

A fun little book that does not take itself too seriously. A bunch of illustrated techniques for operatives drawn from the author‘s own experience. Lots of interesting ideas for the fiction writer, well organized and laid out. Don‘t try these at home!

A bit of a let down. Unfairly harsh on real MFAs and tried to do way too much in too short a book. Ended up covering too many topics with no real depth. The number of times you are offered bonus materials (which should have been in the book) if you join her e mail list was annoying as were too many forced acronyms. I quite liked her application of the scientific method to writing styles but that was not enough to carry this book.

This book about the life of the founder of the Satan‘s Choice MC was disappointing. It was clear the author got too close to his subject and fell into a form of hero worship. While there are endless pages about his boxing and fighting prowess barely a line is given about his violence against women and crimes. The book also could have simply have delivered much more detail about its subject rather than pleasant reminiscing.

TSellers You might have already read it but Hunter Thompson‘s Hell‘s Angels should scratch that MC itch. 5y

On the plus side it is tense, fast paced and very tightly plotted for a 600 page book. There are a number of well thought out and well executed twists.

On the minus the gore is overdone and loses its impact. The characters are unrealistic and there is zero character development. For a book that is supposed to comment on human nature it fails.

Read it for great suspense and quality plotting, or to be able to talk about it, but nothing more.

Wastelanders: Raid | K. S. Merbeth

Mehso-so

So this is an omnibus of two novels by this author set in a Mad Max like post nuclear war world. The action is fast and the authors voice excellent. After that it was wasted potential. The world is grossly underdeveloped, the characters also not explored deeply enough. It was like the raw material was there and the writer had the craft to deliver but she turned away from doing the hard work of developing the novels. So much missed potential.

I was over two hundred pages in and a serious problem had not yet arisen for the protagonist. The world was okay but it seemed like everyone was just trying to rumour and innuendo each other to death and nothing came of it. If the character was awesomely deep this might have been overcome but he was not that interesting. This book was recommended to me by a good source so I wanted to enjoy it but it fizzled out.

An editor at HMH was kind enough to give me this ARC and I was blown away by this dark urban fantasy. It is a deeply moving and disturbing narrative that offers so many levels on enjoyment that it is hard to describe. The craft is tight, characters flawed and human and the pacing spot on. This book will have me thinking for weeks. If you enjoy urban fantasy or care about the human spirit this work would be a great fit for you.

Leniverse Sounds like my kind of thing. 👍 5y

Just finished the ARC of this book and was blown away. It is a great novel with compelling characters, well paced action and powerful emotions set in a well drawn western setting. It has everything you want from a western, outlaws, cattle rustlers, lawmen, ex-slaves and great shoot outs all centred around an unforgettable cast of female protagonists. Even the conceit and structure is original and deftly executed. Loved this book.

#agameoffavorites. Classics

Some great classics have been posted already so I decided to go in a different direction.

As a trial lawyer I studied the work of the great Roman lawyer Cicero for years. His work was amazing and his systemic approach to persuasion centuries ahead of its time. In many ways it shows how human emotion and the desire for justice have not changed in millennia.

He was influenced by the Greek rhetorician Archias.

I am blurbing this book of hers because she lived in Toronto when she wrote it and I was privileged to help her with some of the research on it.

My fav fantasy author is one of the the foundations of modern SF and Fantasy, Michael Moorcock. Picking one book of his is impossible.

His fav is hard, he wrote hundreds of reviews, introductions, academic works on fiction and obits for other authors.

So I go with his love of the feminist SF novel The Female Man by Joanna Russ of which he said

"Smarter and grittier than LeGuin, angrier than Octavia Butler...".

There is no doubt my favourite female author is my lovely wife @KJHowe I can say with some confidence her favourite book is David Morrell's Brotherhood of the Rose 😀.

There are so many great female authors it is hard to narrow down from the rest but if you are looking for a female spec fic hidden gem try Nalo Hopkinson. Her fav is Shattered like a Glass Goblin by Ellison.

An energetic if imperfect read. The book contains a number of hypocracies, logical inconsistencies and in one case intentional ignoring of a serious issue that it should discuss. But conversations about race are needed and if this intelligent and dedicated author wants to help make that happen, good on her. Approached with a critical mind and some caution this book has a lot to offer.

This book was published in 1912 and is considered the start of the traditional western model. As I read I was surprised to discover the plot was built around two love stories and the historical Morman-gentile conflict. It has its fair share of overwriting, exaggerated dialogue and sexism, but it remains an interesting period price. The twist at the end was quite clever.

Bookwomble My Penguin edition had an excellent introduction which provide context for the themes of white slavery and distrust of Mormonism. Incidentally, it helped me to better understand the Conan Doyle's Holmes novels, A Study in Scarlet andThe Valley of Fear, which, I think, between them treat similar themes as Grey. It you've seen the film, Valley of thee Gwanji, I thought its premise of the lost valley similar to the ending of Purple Sage. 6y

So if you put Anne Rice, Mark Twain and Joseph Conrad into a blender and fire it up you get this wonderful novel. A well constructed and original vampire novel this book delivers. You get an amazing feel for life in the riverboat trade in the 1850s and 60s and the tension keeps ramping up with some nice twists. A little slow in places, the great characters make up for it. Highly recommended.

This is a great primer for anyone trying to come to grips with the trend of PMCs or the privatization of military force. The author served in the US airborne, then worked as a mercenary and now teaches at the National War College and thus is uniquely qualified. It offers a good historical and current overview. It asks many of the important questions. The details of the PMC building of the Liberian army were particularly insightful.

The Freedom Broker is currently supposed to be on sale for $ 2.99 but due to a glitch it is currently $2.30 on amazon.com. I have no idea when this will get corrected.

This novel is a finalist for the Best First Novel Thriller Award and the Barry Award for Best Thriller of 2017. Library Journal named it one of the top five Thrillers of 2017.

Thea Paris is a strong female protagonist with diabetes and family problems. A great summer read.
