Neville Lansdowne fell off the world.

Actually he did not so much fall off as let go. The world had been moving so quickly lately and Neville was finding it almost impossible to keep up.

Doodling is an engaging comic fantasy which relates the events that befall Neville after he finds himself abandoned by the world and adrift in the middle of an asteroid field. Douglas Adams...more

Doodling is a light, fast-paced novella that while seemed to have a humorous element to it, was actually quite deep at its core.
Neville falls off the earth because it is going too fast. From there, he encounters a few little worlds on asteroids created by others who have also fallen off the earth due to it going too fast. I got a few laughs out of some of the goings on.
Of course, all the events point to the idea that sometimes when things get a bit hectic and a bit crazy, it’s a good idea to tak...more

Floating out into space to an asteroid field, Neville finds others who for whatever reason had also let go or had fallen off. There he might find a place for himself. If he can just stop the impending destruction of it all.
Can the concept of religion be reduced to the worship of kitchen appliances? Can self-centered, oblivious people be led towards caring about the greater good? Can those who only want to float through life experiencing the happy moments and ignoring the bad be convinced to look at the bigger picture? According to Jonathan Gould, all of these things can happen.
In Doodlings, Jonathan Gould creates the story of a man who just wants to live a simple life. He wants to be able to enjoy the small joys and stop having to run all the time. People are so busy trying to keep up with the world that the little things in life are all but lost.
But as much as Neville wants this simple life, he has trouble finding his place amongst the asteroids. All that changes when the unthinkable is about to happen and he is driven to prevent it. He convinces those with differences in how they worship and who or what they worship to work together. He helps some of the characters see past themselves. Others, he must accept the fact that they are simply incapable of being helpful on their own and figure out how to make that work for the greater good. As for himself, he figures out there is more to him than he once thought. He may have not been born to lead, but he proves that when there is a need, he knows how to step up to the challenge and save the day.
In a Douglas Adams style where the absurd can happen and does, Doodlings is a short story about hope. Maybe there is hope that one day, despite our differences, we can slow the world down and work together to solve its problems. I would certainly like to see that happen. I thank the author for a review copy and I give the book 4 stars.

That's what I thought in the beginning. But, sitting down to read these fast reads, well, I quickly changed my opinion on them. I'm super glad that I had the chance to partake in this blog tour for Mr. Gould's delightful reads! Neville and Kriffle are both characters that will take you on an adventurous, humorous journey into a fantasy world. Readers young and old will enjoy these reads, and quite frankly, be excited to see if Mr. Gould will write another like them (or at least this reader is excited!).

In Doodling, the reader is introduced to Neville....a character who has fallen off the world, or as Mr. Gould put it, simply let go of the world and is now traveling through the universe, making new friends with interesting people, learning new ways to look at life. It's definitely a fantasy universe and often, it's very humorous. It's a wonderful fast read,especially for those of us who are always running ragged and never stopping to simply take a moment to breath. It's a delightful story!

In Flidderbugs, we meet Kriffle. Gould dubs this book a political satire, or modern fable, and I would have to honestly agree with him. It's a story bugs that do battle in a tree (think a little bit of Dr. Suess here....). Children and adults will both enjoy this story of coming to terms with what is obvious. It's a battle of political rights and wrongs, a battle of yes or nos. Is this tribe of bugs right about their side of the tree, or that tribe of bugs the correct party on their side of the tree. It was definitely interesting to see how the story turned out and the great buggy characters are uniquely charming!

I can definitely say that these books are highly recommend with 4 Book ratings. I am glad to have had the chance to read them, and I look forward to seeing if Mr. Gould makes more like this. They aren't long reads, less than 75 pages a piece, and would be great for that settling in for the night read, or an interesting new bed time story to tell your children. Great job, Mr. Gould!

I read a positive review of this on the Sift Reviews website, and bought it right away - I was really disappointed. The idea is great, and so is the potential, but the execution is in my view half-baked. The denizens of the asteroid belt are really for the most part boring - with the great exception of Helen, who must water her beautiful garden, non-stop. Gould seems in love with this character, and so are we, and the sections of the book that describe her are poetic.

Have you ever wanted to get out of the rat race? Is it all going too fast? Can’t keep up? Feel like you’re going to fall off?

Maybe what you need is a good laugh, and Gould serves them up in this allegory about Neville who falls off the world because it is spinning too fast. He finds himself among the asteroid belt, and the laughs start, for almost everyone he meets is crazy.

He meets a colony holding a religious ceremony to summon a toaster to their asteroid. He finds an “aimless” asteroid, where he has a particularly aimless talk with the woman who lives there. He encounters three cyclists in a never-ending race, and he meets the “Party People” who celebrate by drinking dust out of Champaign bottles.

But then Neville meets Helen, and astrophysicist who has calculated that in three and a half hours the earth will break free from the hold of the sun and come crashing through the asteroid belt.

Neville now has a mission; save the asteroid belt. If you’re a teen or older, read the book to laugh at the way he organizes his loony friends to save both the earth and the asteroid belt.

Although Gould writes in the comic vein, he teaches some important lessons. For example, after meeting the “aimless” woman:

“[Neville] jumped off the asteroid and watched as it zigzagged crazily away. In his heart, he knew that what the girl had said was wrong. It was important to have an aim. What was the point of living if you didn’t? Neville decided there and then that he had better find an aim for himself. But thinking about your life direction while you’re standing in the middle of an asteroid field isn’t such an easy thing to do. The best way to work out what his aim would be was to get out into the open, so he could concentrate better. Neville found a nice quiet spot, turned himself around so that he didn’t have to look at the asteroids any more and started to think.
What would be a good aim? How could he create a fulfilling life for himself here in the middle of nothingness?”

That’s a good question, and congratulations to Gould for answering it.

I don't think I've ever described something as a "romp" before, but the word definitely applies to the experience of reading Doodling. As a lifelong fan of Douglas Adams and The Phantom Tollbooth and that style of writing and sense of humor, Doodling was a true joy to read.

That in and of itself is high praise, but the wry humor and deadpan delivery were spot on, and I laughed from the beginning of the book until the end. Through all the laughs, though, is a message that definitely rings true- a...more

Doodling by Jonathan Gould gives us a fantastically funny social satire that never takes itself too seriously. Neville Lansdowne finds one day that he can’t keep up with the fast pace of the world and is flung into space only to land in the asteroid belt. There he meets others who have left the Earth to pursue their own interests.

There he meets others who have left the Earth to pursue their own interests. Upon meeting these other travelers, Neville begins to question the strange choices and motivations of the people he encounters.

Cover Art: 5 Stars
The cover is both visually appealing and does a good job of representing the the whimsy of the book. I felt that it was a perfect fit for this story.

Characters: 5 Stars
This novel had a great set of characters. Neville may not be an “everyman” but his feelings are perfectly defined. Not only is he well-rounded, but he had a character arc complete with actual character evolution, always a nice thing to see. The supporting characters are so vividly absurd that I found myself picking favorites despite the short time spent with them and the somewhat distant nature of the book.

Plot: 4.5 Stars
I was hooked from page one. The pacing is fantastic in this story, and the plot had a nice progression. At first, I worried that the story would lack any real conflict and focus too much on societal issues and themes, but that turned out to not be the case at all. A balance of humor and contemplation made it more enjoyable than others of that same vein. There is also great development of the setting that only makes the encountered problems all the more believable.

Writing: 4.5 Stars
This book was a real joy to read. The writing was consistently high quality. The story employs a great dry humor style that is not easily achieved. I loved how well it all flowed together. I did find a few minor errors near the start of the story but very few detracted from the story. My only real criticism relates to a series of fragments in the first few pages. Although they are used correctly, they did get to be a little much and threw off the flow.

Over All: 4 Stars
Despite how great I think this book was, the ending played a large part in my final opinion. After all loose ends have been tied together, there are a few throw away lines leading to the title of the story. It just made no sense to me. Nothing else had been worked in prior that would make the sentences fit well, and they have rather major potential implications to the events that have occurred depending on how they are interpreted. This slight ambiguity at the end of the story just didn’t seem to truly fit with what was presented before. Still, I really loved the book and would heartily recommend to anyone. Just skip the last few sentences.

Happy reading!
My indie, my tea and me.

Since life on Earth is no longer appealing to Neville, in fact, he let go and watched it fly away. Things were just going to fast for him. So he looks to the asteroid belt to build his new life. After an attempt at a solo asteroid, he realizes that complete control over everything just wasn't for him. So N...more

This is a fun and quick read. You can really feel the influence Douglas Adams, Alice in Wonderland and The Little Prince had in this story. There are some truly giggle-worthy moments in the book, mostly in the tradition of said influences - nonsense uttered in complete seriousness, and completely mad characters.

However, there were some things that bothered me. First, the book needs more proofing - there is the occasional missing or misspelled word and there are some grammar issues that just need careful tending. The short length of it only emphasizes the few problems.

Secondly, it was lacking in show, not tell and general background information. To this moment, I have no idea how Neville looks like, how old is he, or who he is. Worse yet, one character is described as "about his age and about his height", which tells us nothing. The action scene at the end is also baffling, and I can't picture it. I think quite a few ideas could have been expanded, like the movement in space, for example. The way they are presented now creates holes in the plot and deus-ex-machina moments. It could have been viewed as nonsensical, if it was used more profusely and if the wording was different.

Third, and I'm not a big science geek or anything, but even within the book there were inconsistencies in logic (even the nonsense in Alice had some internal logic to it). I had a few huh?! moments that weren't appeased at all, and some I had to think over and find the logic myself. Something the reader could avoid doing with better showing. Inconsistencies weren't only in logic, but also in story telling - one moment an object is held in place, and the next it moves without it being let go.

I have to be honest, I missed the allegories and the satire until I read some of the other reviews. I may have caught on myself in a 2nd or 3rd reading, but once I read the other reviews it was easy to spot. So catching on late is probably my fault :p.

All in all, although it has its flaws, Doodling is a cute story and a fun, fast read. If it had been longer: 1. Maybe most of the issues would have been resolved and thus it would have received a higher rating, 2. if not, it would have gotten a lower one.

"The roar of the world was like the sound of a hundred rock bands all playing at the same time, only much, much louder"
