A dozen vultures are cavorting (fighting) in the yard, waiting for the easy meal about to be delivered to them on the other side of the fence. It’ll be dog food, by my guess-that’s what my neighbor feeds the deer. A hundred deer (not an exaggeration) used to denude the lawn and turn bushes to sticks until the fence was installed. Fences don’t keep vultures out. I don’t mind deer and vultures, b...

| I hadn't expected to like Skippy Dies. Literary novels haven't attracted my interest for some time now---since, say, The Unbearable Lightness of Being and several works by Cormac McCarthy, all read and loved a long time ago. Frankly, many literary to...more | |
"I kind of, sort of, like your review. It almost makes me want to go out, and try to ignore that book. In a way.

Thank you for this average novel, I feel extremely impartial about its contents. Keep up the mediocrity. Shiver is a decently written YA fantasy novel. I am neither excited nor unexcited about this series. It is a tolerable time-filler. If I was t... " Read more of this review » |

At last! This review is the culmination of a long and tragic period during which I wanted to read on, but could only peel away time for it in frustrating slices. If my review is disjointed and nonsensical, I blame Time for its failure to properly...

"
Good writing insofar as piecing words together for fluidity and communication, but it's dampened by middling-to-bad storytelling. Predictable in some places, a complete snore in others.
"Shadow"? Seriously? Meh. " |

“Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, but love does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously.”

“When we're incomplete, we're always searching for somebody to complete us. When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”
