Lillian and Madison were unlikely roommates and yet inseparable friends at their elite boarding school. But then, Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal, and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help. Madison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family, and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, there’s a catch: The twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way.

Robotic reader
Revisado: 12-03-23
Repetitive action/dialog bogged down the forward progress of the plot. I found I could skip over half a chapter and still be in roughly the same spot in the narrative.

Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon is part memoir, part investigation, and unlike any creative portrait you’ve ever heard before. Recorded over a series of 30 hours of conversation between Simon, Gladwell, and Gladwell’s oldest friend and co-writer, journalist and Broken Record podcast co-host Bruce Headlam, the conversation flows from Simon’s music, to his childhood in Queens, NY, to his frequent collaborators including Art Garfunkel and the nature of creativity itself.

The touch
Revisado: 01-13-22
More than any artist encountered during my adult life, Paul Simon has reached into the part of my mind where I truly live, where I find my most human seed and essence. That he remains so clear, frank and humble about his astonishing gifts was a revelation. Gladwell and Headlam chose wisely.

In the lawless, drought-ridden lands of the Arizona Territory in 1893, two extraordinary lives unfold. Nora is an unflinching frontierswoman awaiting the return of the men in her life - her husband, who has gone in search of water for the parched household, and her elder sons, who have vanished after an explosive argument. Nora is biding her time with her youngest son, who is convinced that a mysterious beast is stalking the land around their home.

Lost in the prairie
Revisado: 12-30-19
Téa Obreht has created an orgy of exposition in which no character is too small to merit a paragraph of excruciatingly rich description. Immigrants, thieves, weird animals, sodbusters, cameleers – and a camel named Burke – ghosts and ghost-talkers with multiple names all come to life vividly. This mind-jangling myriad of characters is drawn in such detail, in fact, that no timeline or narrative thread is discernible. The language is beautiful, true. But it’s as if Obreht has set out on purpose to befuddle and confound the reader, as if that is where the fun is. Readers who love this book tell us that “once you get into it, you can’t put it down.” Well, if it takes more than one-third of a 348-page novel to captivate me, you’ve lost me. On the prairie. In a drought.

Ishmael, the narrator, tells of the adventures of Captain Ahab in his relentless quest to seek revenge on the white whale that bit off his leg. Full of allegory and symbolism, Moby Dick is an epic tragedy of tremendous dramatic power and narrative drive. This large-scale adaptation, recorded in America, skilfully reproduces the unique mixture of adventure, myth, history, and philosophy in Melville's epic tale.

Herky jerky Moby Dick.
Revisado: 08-25-18
Overly arty adaptation. Soundtrack sometimes obscuring dialogue, story line shifted from original with odd flashbacks, and some key plot points glossed over. Still, Abraham ‘s narration is satisfying. The tone of Melville ‘s classic comes across.
