Tyler claims not to read her reviews but, as her fiction proves, she misses nothing: a thread of steeliness runs through her determinedly unshowy prose. In 2015, New York Times reviewer Michiko Kakutani disparaged the Whitshank family in the Booker-shortlisted A Spool of Blue Thread as “merely generic figures in a middling middlebrow novel: oddly lacking in emotional specificity and psychological ballast”. It is also, possibly, a sly riposte to her harshest critics. “Nobody knows if he has family.” In her opening two pages, Tyler appears to write her protagonist off as scarcely worth the bother of curiosity.įor a novelist who has spent more than 50 years capturing in detail the lives and hearts of ordinary people, this brief, judgmental pulling of focus is startling. There is a girlfriend of sorts but no sign of male friends. Mortimer, she tells us with the breezy offhandness of a gossipy neighbour, has a basement apartment (“it is probably not very cheery”), scruffy clothes, poor posture and an unvarying daily routine. “Y ou have to wonder what goes through the mind of a man like Micah Mortimer,” Anne Tyler declares at the start of Redhead by the Side of the Road. ![]() 5/20/2023 0 Comments Cheshire crossing graphic novel![]() ![]() The students of this particular school are Alice (of Wonderland fame), Wendy (fresh outta Neverland), and Dorothy (back from Oz).

Still, this ended up being an average entry in the series and not one of the standouts. Meg: Generations gets somewhat back to basics, eliminating a lot of the craziest science fiction stuff in favor of giant sea monster moments. I wasn’t a huge fan of that book because of it’s tie in to some ridiculous time travel elements from Alten’s Vostok and its replacing of the Megalodon creature with a Liopleurodon creature for most of the book’s big action scenes. ![]() It felt like it had been awhile since I read a Meg book, but looking at the publication dates it’s only been about three years since Meg: Nightstalkers came out. ![]() ![]() ![]() Finders Keepers is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life - for good, for bad, forever Not since Misery has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. Decades later, a boy named Pete Sauberg finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he's released from prison after thirty-five years. ![]() Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. The genius is John Rothstein, a Salinger-like icon who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades. 'Wake up, genius.' So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. ![]() ![]() ![]() (.) A book to chuckle over and chuck away." - The Economist ![]() Ultimately, though, the book feels as if it were written more with the head than the heart. "Clever, erudite and hugely amusing, it certainly is.But aside from that and some overly elaborate similes (.) the most unfortunate thing about this book was the publisher's decision to invite comparison with The Secret History by Donna Tartt." - Yvonne Zipp, Christian Science Monitor The fact that Hannah isn't nearly as enthralling for a reader as she is for her besotted teens is a problem.
