Abridged story cut some of my favorite parts
Revisado: 08-17-23
I don’t like abridged books and didn’t realize it was when I purchased it. I missed the account of Clay and Lanie’s surgery and recovery ( which seems pretty crucial) and the discovery of the special plant Janna’s been looking for was planted at the family house by Matt before he died as a surprise for Janna.

When retired FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an 'X-Ray Sierra India' incident, the operator doesn't understand. He tells them to pass it up the chain till someone does. That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Leaving Quantico for snowbound Northern Wisconsin, she finds that a tornado has flattened half the town—and there's no sign of Henderson. Things soon go from weird to worse, as neighbors report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes missing, and the snow keeps rising—cutting off the town, with no way in or out . . .

Maybe get a narrator who has been to Oklahoma?
Revisado: 06-30-23
I like the Native American thread, the return of Kimberley Reynolds, the Virginia Gentlemen and the new genius loci. I kept wishing that Kobna was reading it (though I imagine he hasn’t been to Oklahoma either). The reader made the procedural FBI stuff dull. The imitation of Kimberly’s “Mama” was terrible and the Bible/born-again Christian dialogue, as read, did not work. (I’m from Texas but my Mama’s from Oklahoma).
Eagerly awaiting Ben’s next ROL with Kobna narrating.

Being 16 is always difficult, even more so when there's a Death in the family. After all, it's hard to grow up normally when Grandfather rides a white horse and wields a scythe. Especially if he decides to take a well-earned moment to uncover the meaning of life and discover himself in the process, so that you have to take over the family business, and everyone mistakes you for the Tooth Fairy.

Gotta love a character that contemplates her “Susan-ness” who decides her parents named her Susan to keep her from becoming “Death.”

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

Loved this story of escape from the “real” world only to have the real world come looking for you.

On Midsummer Night, dreams are especially powerful. So powerful, in fact, that they can cause the walls between realities to come crashing down. And some things you really don't want to break through.

A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.

Any additional comments?
Why are you asking me these stupid questions?
Ocean is a great book. May be my favorite Gaiman book to date. His narration pulls you into the story.
Highly recommend.

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

Not Tolkien - Anti Lord of the Rings
Revisado: 08-06-11
I downloaded Game of Thrones because I had read the comparisons to Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. There are some similarities -- both are set in fictional lands with a rich history, both have dragons, both have good guys and bad guys.
There the similarities end. Game of Thrones is about the rich and powerful and politics. The bad guys cheat to win and the little guys get trampled. No hobbits saving the world, no long lost heir to the throne rising to the challenge and uniting the kingdom.
Maybe that changes in the later books, but I don't care enough to find out.

When an unexpected inheritance elevates her family to the ranks of the aristocracy, Amelia Hathaway discovers that tending to her younger sisters and wayward brother was easy compared to navigating the intricacies of the ton. Even more challenging: the attraction she feels for the tall, dark, and dangerously handsome Cam Rohan.

This is an ABRIDGED version of this book and not UNABRIDGED as advertised.
Very disappointing.
