Review of C.J. Lavigne's In Veritas
I am not a particularly fast reader, but I did spend an unprecedented amount of time immersed in C.J. Lavigne’s debut novel, In Veritas.
It is a story ostensibly about communication in which the major character, named Verity, is pretty much unable to communicate in the usual manner. The crossed-wires in her brain give her a severe case of synesthesia which lock her into her own somewhat non-se

"This rating is from 17 year old me. I don't know what current age me would think. Sometimes current age me is a little jaded and unpleasant :P"
|
|
"Well written but kind of dull. "
|
|
"It runs a bit long for a satire, or Vance could have given me at least one character to care about."

I Don't Really Get Jan-Andrew Henderson: A Short Story Collection
by Jan-Andrew Henderson (Goodreads Author) |

“We are the magic. And the sooner we can stop looking for it everywhere except within ourselves, the better off we’ll be.”

“I had read and admired Ballard and Burroughs, and I thought of them as very powerful effect pedals. You get to a certain place in the story and you just step on the Ballard.”

“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create.”
