Predictable

Revisado: 08-10-22

I only read this because my neighbor went on and on about it. I should've known better. It held my attention but had a predictable end. I wouldn't consider this "art" but rather "summer reading". Just ok.

Hate that it's SO racist.

Revisado: 08-10-22

All the racism really was hard to listen to but I did learn a lot I didn't know about the South after the war. Of course, I've seen this awesome movie, just never read the book.

Definitely not Mitchel.

Of course, Margaret Mitchell never wrote the sequel so I supposed it's the best we could hope for. I'm thinking it was just ok. I thought the narrator sounded like a mature, older woman and feel this should been read by a "Scarlett" of the right age for the Scarlet in the book. Not really impressed.

Meh…

Not typical Cornwall. Loved all his others. A bit too confusing at the beginning because I didn’t realize that this Campion wasn’t the same as in the previous book which was also just so-so.

Unbelievable that somehow thru my childhood, I missed this great story. I was so disappointed for it to end. Beautiful.

Another good one from Stephen R. Lawhead

Revisado: 11-26-20

Lawhead is a good writer. He's descriptive and practically poetic in his prose. I really am enjoying this book except, again, as I reviewed in his previous book, Taliesin, I sincerely doubt that Merlin was a Christian. Perhaps wishful thinking on the author's part? Whatever...it's his story. That being said, I am not enjoying the narrator at all. He reminds me of an 1930's American actor trying to speak with a British accent. He sounds so fake and pretentious. I've never heard a Brit speak like this. Also, he tells the story in the first person however, when Merlin speaks, it's a completely different, more believable accent. I'm enjoying the story regardless and hoping the next in the trio has a different narrator.

Excellent!

Mary L. Trump offers no surprises here because we already knew that her uncle Donald was a monster. This is a well written history of how he got to be that way. The current president of the United States was "groomed" to be a narcissist by another narcissist, his father, Fred Trump and Donald bought it hook, line, & sinker. Now, we are all paying for his ignorance, his naiveté, his bravado, and his braggadocio. Goddamn Donald Trump and what he has done to our nation and goddamn the people who have enabled him.
