The Writer's LibraryThe Screwtape Letters by C.S. LewisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars This story is the definition of irony…. At first, I’ll admit, I struggled to understand the story’s aim. It’s not every day you get a story set from the devil’s advocate’s point of view. Screwtape is twisted to the core. I enjoyed the ironic […]
Beyond the Door by Philip K. DickMy rating: 4 of 5 stars And that’s why I will never buy a cuckoo clock….. or piss off a bird…. This was very brief, but I enjoyed it all the same. Basically, the story is of a man who purchases a gift for his wife and gloats about […]
Gravity Falls: Journal 3 by Alex Hirsch My rating: 4 of 5 stars I can’t believe I actually picked this up and read it cover-to-cover. I was expecting to enjoy it, but I didn’t expect there to be a solid, coherent, dark, beautifully-written story within these pages. I expected more of a how-to guide to […]
This blog is called “The Writer’s Library” for a reason. I write about books I love and post my own writing. But today I’d like to stray a little bit from the norm.In my review for Titanic by Filson Young, I posted a painting from my favorite artist’s soundtrack titled RMS Titanic as part of […]
I Will Find the Answer by Kate WorkmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars It feels weird not putting this book under Project: Sherlock. This may take some getting used to. So, to start off, I have to be honest. It’s not as good as Populaire was, and I honestly didn’t expect it to be. That’s […]
Sherlock Holmes: The Army of Dr. Moreau by Guy AdamsMy rating: 2 of 5 stars Sigh. Not a good book to end Project Sherlock on. You just can’t win them all. I half-expected this book to disappoint me. Over the course of this endeavor, I’ve come across books that really just flew off the edge […]
Rendezvous at the Populaire – A Novel of Sherlock Holmes by Kate WorkmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars “My dear friend, you cannot best me. You may kill me, but my spirit will not be taken down by a mere mortal. And that is precisely what you are.”Sometimes, even a machine like Sherlock Holmes may […]
A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. DickMy rating: 4 of 5 stars Two personas that have no idea of each other’s existence reside in the same man. Oh, God….Bob Arctor is both a user and seller of Substance Death…. Fred is a law enforcer who monitors Arctor’s activities as part of his job. He watches […]
The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. DickMy rating: 1 of 5 stars I couldn’t…. I just couldn’t with this one. Honestly, I was just so incredibly bored with it. The Nazis have effectively won WWII and the world is in the grips of tyrannical dictatorship…. or, at least, I thought it would […]
Stranger to the Ground by Richard BachMy rating: 2 of 5 stars I can’t believe I’m DNF’ing this. I usually love Richard Bach. But this was not his best. Really, it wasn’t. This story follows Dick as he joins the Air Force in a “lonely duel with death”. Yes, that is what the synopsis said. […]
