Despite glowing Kirkus and reader reviews, I'd have to say Azuski's Travels In Elysium is a poorly researched, inconsistently written novel. The story ostensibly revolves around a young man, Pedrosa, who takes up the position of a lifetime, to work wi...more |

Thanks for accepting my friend request, Lorina. You seem like an interesting person, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's.Regards, and have a great day, Ed

You're welcome, Lorena. 'Blind Assassin' makes 'Handmaid's Tale' look like a novice's work, IMO. She's in top form with this one.
Lorina,Thanks for the recommendation, I have read one book by Atwood (the handmaid's tale) and truly enjoyed it, next time I am at the bookstore I'll make sure to look up Blind Assasin. ;o)
