Wow. SCOTS WA' HAE!

A WONDERFUL Coming of Age YA saga - Sword 'n Sorcery....

I read Jim Dressner’s take on this and was so impressed I added it!

Mon ami, Fonch, a raison: les histoires de Volkoff sont superbes!

This is a truly wonderful book! Love how Lynn allows us numerous segues to focus on her personal experiences, so similar to my own when I was 19. I should zip right through this one!

NB to All Reviewers!
"A review done well is 'gossip of a higher sort' - the dirt dished out by a trusted confidant!"
Christopher Carduff

In a vanished Northern Empire which has been stripped of value and decency irrevocably - by an ignorant army of Brownshirts - old Andrei believes in goodness and decency. He and his wife are liquidated. Their young son is spirited away from the debacle of revolution. Living with an elderly Spanish uncle, the teen still believes humanity and value will somehow prevail!

A Slam-Dunker novel which predates - almost clairvoyantly - Travis McGee!

An essential read for those idealists like me who believe the Law is Paramount in a healthy society.

A fascinating inside look at what makes Judge Judy, the real-life star of one of my favourite reality TV shows, tick!

“As if, moreover, in order to make sense (of our reading), this adventure needed the deep sense of words, their multiple meanings, which are but focal points of their radiance.”

“As if all the truth carried in (a) book - this portion of dark where the light wears thin - were but an approach to (our) death…”

Beautiful verse that cuts to the bare bone!

An intensely sensitive novel about simple, ordinary Londoners caught up in the paranormal landscape of our brutally uncaring postmodern times.

Already at the outset the venue for the infamous antipapist riots is being ironically described!

The battle lines are being clearly and superciliously drawn in the little bookshop between the antidisestablishment and dissenting sections.

The smouldering tension between rebels and redcoats is stretched expertly, tight as a drum!

This one purports to take us to the very heart of Levinas' answer to postmodern thought - ie, we can no longer act as if we were INVISIBLE to the world!

A stunning (by its sheer tongue in cheek mystery) tour de force. Five advance stars for a superb short story!

Love it! Alice is SO bright natured yet sensible at 103.

I've just begun this, but wow. Suddenly 56 years of my long, weary life peel away and - presto, eureka! - I'm 18 again, listening dreamily to my prof intone this, at the back of my Freshman English Class!

Sheer Spiritual DYNAMITE.

John Updike keeps it thin and sweet as Mom's Lemon Meringue Pie in this, his first venture into Light Verse in the Swinging Sixties! I love it, and my sweet tooth is satiated...

Une volée comique contre la petit-bourgeois prudence et probité! Cinq étoiles sans doute.

A real Eye Opener of a retrospective look back at the “Sleepy” 1960’s in Québec!

The classic text of the Quiet Revolution in Québec, written in 1960 and never translated into English!

In a word: FABULOUS!

What a beautiful little Gem of a book! I'm loving it.

EXCEPTIONALLY Low-Priced on Amazon….👍❗️

Paul Jacobson is his usual cranky Octogenarian self, and the murders are just beginning! Maybe the best Befeler book so far. Plus, it’s cheap!
