Aza Holmes never intended to pursue the disappearance of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there’s a hundred-thousand-dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Pickett’s son Davis. Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

too picky?

The narrator was a little too particular in her enunciation, even when it seemed out of place...

In Terry Pratchett's Reaper Man, Death has left Discworld - but that's not necessarily a good thing. After all, chaos always ensues whenever important public services are withdrawn, and Discworld is no exception. Society is suddenly overrun by ghosts and poltergeists, while Dead Rights activist Reg Shoe finds himself busier than he's ever been and newly-deceased wizard Windle Poons rises from his coffin as a living corpse.

Kinda weird, but I guess that's par for the course
Revisado: 04-06-18
Would you consider the audio edition of Reaper Man to be better than the print version?
Yes? If only because I can read it at work...
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved Mrs. Flitworth, she just rolls with the punches and keeps her kindness, without letting her guard down.
Which scene was your favorite?
When the combine turned into the new death? It was a little ambiguous, but if I interpreted it right, it says some interesting things about the rise of technology. I may not agree with it, but the commentary is there.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Wendell Poons was trying to die properly... big mood, my man.
Any additional comments?
This is only the second Discworld book that I've read, the first being Amazing Maurice. I am always impressed with how Pratchett managed to make a compelling storyline (or several) without relying on tired old love interest tropes. The only romance in this book was very naiive and non-human, and I can appreciate that.
I do wish that the two main characters had gotten more of an interweaving story, they only really met up at the very end, but that's okay. It makes it all the more poignant, I guess.

People start dropping dead around Charlie, giant ravens perch on his building, and it seems that everywhere he goes, a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Strange names start appearing on his nightstand notepad, and before he knows it, those people end up dead, too. Yup, it seems that Charlie Asher has been recruited for a new job, an unpleasant but utterly necessary one: Death.

Needs a modern update
Revisado: 04-06-18
I was interested in the premise, having just finished Terry Pratchet's "Reaper Man" and Piers Anthony's "On a Pale Horse". Got to chapter 4 and couldn't handle the blatant sexism and misogyny and the incessant whining about 'alpha males' vs 'beta males'. I want my three dollars back.

When Rini lands with a literal splash in the pond behind Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, the last thing she expects to find is that her mother, Sumi, died years before Rini was even conceived. But Rini can’t let Reality get in the way of her quest—not when she has an entire world to save! (Much more common than one would suppose.) If she can't find a way to restore her mother, Rini will have more than a world to save: she will never have been born in the first place. And in a world without magic, she doesn’t have long before Reality notices her existence and washes her away.

I sometimes wish these books were longer, they have such wonderful world(s)-building... but I suppose the characters wish for that too.

February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. “My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,” the president says at the time. “God has called him home.”

I thought this was supposed to be a story, but it seems more like random gibberish instead.

Excited to begin superhero high school until he discovers he's assigned to a special-ed class for disabled empowered kids, he suddenly feels like an outsider.

Bechdel test? lol what's that
Revisado: 06-28-17
There was absolutely NO reason why the six to eight main characters were ALL boys. There were a couple girls in there, but they hardly even got speaking lines, nonetheless any sort of interesting role or charactet development. And I may have never known someone personally who had Down's sydrome, but don't they usually talk a lot more than a word or two every few weeks?
Also, a few consistency errors came up that were maybe overlooked.
And the author narrated the whole novel as though he were in a hurry. This isn't cinema sins, dude, slow down and let us absorb what you're saying.
