Eva never really wanted to be a mother - and certainly not the mother of a boy who ends up murdering seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his 16th birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin’s horrific rampage, in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin.

Damn, Readers Are Impatient Nowadays
Revisado: 06-28-21
I started this book seeing the reviews that the first part was too slow. this is more of a review of those readers than it is of the book--are all of your attention spans really that limited?
I thought it was riveting from beginning to end, and the scaffolding at the start was necessary for the full impact of the story.

When the United States permanently closes all of its borders to immigration and expels all “nonnatives” from the country in a furor of nationalism and isolationism, California secedes from the Union to form its own independent nation. In the midst of this chaos, Dan and his five clones - his physical replicas, created in a federal lab to be low-intelligence farm laborers - attempt to secretly enter the new California Independent Republic, becoming enmeshed in a struggle to find and secure a new technology that could save or destroy the world.

A Wild Ride From Start to Finish
Revisado: 04-05-21
5 Clones by Edward Bonilla is a fast-paced and exciting tale about a man who is trying to sell a group of cloned copies of himself as farm workers in a post Cal-Exit land of catastrophe. The book has many interesting elements that blend nicely together: there are shades of Mad Max, epistolary segments, mysterious folktales, sci-fi wonders, and action-packed thrills. The political setting Bonilla constructs is particularly well thought out and feels very plausible…very eerily plausible! It’s easy to get drawn into the main plot, but the campfire story type interludes stood out as particularly enjoyable. All the different moving parts of the story come together for a very satisfying ending, which also hints at much more to come. The narration, done by the author himself, was clear and easy to listen to. There were certainly distinctive voices for each of the characters. I will definitely be reading the sequel to see if Dan can find who he is looking for!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Mopstat, a city encased in glass surrounded by merciless jungle on a forgotten continent. Mighty steam-driven machines are built in this place, driven by hyper-intelligent pugs and designed by tireless engineers. Any with the potential to be a steamsmith can rise to glory regardless of who they are, at least that’s the promise. Vought and Emily have tried for years to meet that promise, but haven’t had so much as a passing glimpse at it. Cheated yet again by an attack on the faire of innovation, they are driven to unravel the silent conspiracy behind the attacks.

A Charming Tale with Wonderful Narration!
Revisado: 11-07-20
This book was especially fun to read, for me, since I have two pugs of my own. The world of Steampug is very creative and unique, with mysterious creatures and bizarre machinery.
Narrator Alan R Gron does such amazing work, truly breathing life into the book. He narrates the story so vividly, with such skill and wit, making for a truly unforgettable experience.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 45
Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, is a poem, translated by Bayard Taylor, which tells the beautiful and emotional story of a man who has seen and done it all. However, despite all of his learning and education, his life still feels empty and unaccomplished. He believes wholeheartedly that there is something else out there. Faust, having exhausted all other fields of study, turns to magic for fulfillment. He summons the devil and makes a pact - that if the devil can show him something rewarding and fulfilling, he will give the devil his soul.

The description made it seem as if it had both parts, but this is only part 1. I feel ripped off.

Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge.

Electrifying
Revisado: 09-29-15
Twisting, unpredictable, bold storytelling. The language is honest, entertaining, satisfying--the characters believable in their intricate absurdity. A portrait of modern misogyny, of postmodern disillusionment, of age-old manipulation. Lengthy, overdrawn, but in the way that makes you glad you ingested every last word.

Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will—a boy on the run, a murderer—a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels. Each is searching—Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father—but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together...until they are split apart.

Too many feelings. And most of them hurt. But that was a beautiful book. Haven't felt this way in a long time:
