![]() ![]() I enjoyed taking a trip through the author's imagination - that is exactly what Unpredictable Worlds: Stories by Jessica Knauss was, a journey of wonder. An author's note provides insight into the inspiration behind various stories. ![]() Next, you can sprint through a series of micro fiction, before immersing yourself in the lives of women, rhinos and the women who love them - the rhinos, that is. The first of these is Magical Realism (although I should add that elements of magical realism can be found in works of the other categories as well). While the stories are widely divergent, they are grouped around a series of themes that serve like hubs for the author's imagination to take off. Reviewed by Carine Engelbrecht for Readers' Favoriteįor a collection of stories that stray delightfully off the beaten track of cookie cutter characters and plot lines without any roadside surprises, you can do a lot worse than venturing around inside Unpredictable Worlds: Stories by Jessica Knauss. ![]() ![]() ![]() One oyster yields an immense pearl, which he calls "The Pearl of the World" news of its discovery spreads quickly, and some of the family's neighbors start to resent Kino's luck in finding it.

Some of the 'expendable chapters' at first glance seem like random musings, but upon closer inspection solve questions that arise during the reading of the first two parts of the book.Īn author's note suggests that the book would best be read in one of two possible ways, either progressively from chapters 1 to 56 or by "hopscotching" through the entire set of 155 chapters according to a "Table of Instructions" designated by the author. ![]() Written in an episodic, snapshot manner, the novel has 155 chapters, the last 99 being designated as "expendable." Some of these "expendable" chapters fill in gaps that occur in the main storyline, while others add information about the characters or record the aesthetic or literary speculations of a writer named Morelli who makes a brief appearance in the narrative. This novel is often referred to as a counter-novel, as it was by Cortázar himself. Hopscotch is a stream-of-consciousness novel which can be read according to two different sequences of chapters.

Like most vampires in Ankh-Morpork, he is a Black Ribboner, meaning that he has joined the League of Temperance and sworn off blood. ![]() The Discworld novels can be enjoyed in any order, but The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents is a standalone novel. Otto Chriek - Discworld & Terry Pratchett Wiki Otto Chriek Otto Chriek is a vampire who moved from Überwald and is now living in Ankh-Morpork. With a new introduction written and read by Rob Wilkins. And this story is no longer dancing to the piper's tune… For someone there is playing a different tune and now the rats must learn a new word. Everyone knows the stories about rats and pipers, and Maurice has a stupid-looking kid with a pipe, and his very own plague of rats-strangely educated rats.īut in Bad Blintz, the little con suddenly goes down the drain. Maurice, a streetwise tomcat, has the perfect money-making scam. It was hard to tell, with the Wintersmith. This wasn't normal weather even for midwinter, and this was springtime. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan. It had to be the Wintersmith, Tiffany Aching told herself, standing in front of her father in the freezing farmhouse. BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy ( Love Actually Pirates of the Caribbean Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz ( Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. The audiobook of The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents is read by Ariyon Bakare ( Good Omens His Dark Materials). The book that inspired the big-hit new film ![]() ![]() ![]() The turning point is when Levy’s brother is murdered. Once I got to that half-way point, however, my attitude completely changed and I raced through the book. There’s some action in the prologue and in a side plot that didn’t make sense until Levy gets caught up in the conspiracy at the half-way point. It didn’t help that I was waiting for the novel to kick into gear for most of the first half. Instead of making the novel feel “gritty” and realistic, it just feels like paint-by-numbers characterization. With the exception of Levy and one or two other characters, everyone says or thinks horrible things about African Americans and Jews. Levy, has a motor mouth and is frequently obnoxious rather than amusing. Set in 1973, the book is filled with edgy slang that has not aged well. I loathed the first half of Marathon Man. The original novel did have more of both, but it didn’t make for a better tale. (Also, I’m a sucker for stories about tracking down Nazis who escaped Europe after the war.) I fell into the trap of expecting the book to be better than the movie because there would be more background and plot. I picked this book up because I remember enjoying the film version, which starred Dustin Hoffman and Sir Laurence Olivier. William Goldman’s Marathon Man wasn’t half bad. ![]() ![]() ( Fearless is a stand-alone enemies-to-lovers romantic-suspense novel.

It gets worse when I accidentally see him naked in the shower, moaning my name. Moving into his family estate is the real test. But when my best friend turns up dead and my uncle goes missing, Hutch is my only option. Not since he used it to ruin my life at 16. Hutch Winston may be sexy as hell, but I won’t fall for his white-knight protector act. Blake van Hamilton hates me, but it won’t stop me from doing my job. Still, I'm the last person she wants helping her. Now I’ve been hired to guard her against a band of criminals who want her money, and maybe even her life. ![]() With killer curves, silky brown hair, and silvery-blue eyes, she’s been an inconvenient object of my lust since we were teens. My job is to protect the innocent, but Blake van Hamilton has never been innocent. He’s intense, he’s fearless, and he’ll stop at nothing to save her. ![]() |
