Mature, well-written, funny, enjoyable, and such a great read. I preferably enjoy the ones with the love interests even more, but if there's a Dear America diary where there isn't a love interest and I loved it, it certainly is a great. I loved that about this book.Įven though there wasn't particularly(besides Jason) a love interest in the installment, I enjoyed it. I mean, it's like I was opening up my diary and reading it.

It is a device, Durrell claimed, amounting to a new concept of reality, reflecting the ideas of Freud and Einstein and a convergence of western and eastern metaphysics. The four volumes concern the same characters, but each of the several narrators tell the novels' complex tales from their own viewpoint, and they write at different times. It was based on the premise that people and events seem different when considered from different angles and periods, and that they can best be recorded, as Durrell himself put it, stereoscopically. It was an experimental novel of its day, perhaps related to the work of Durrell's friend Henry Miller, perhaps to Ulysses. It is actually neither specific nor precise about anything. ![]() The work itself is greater than its themes, and casts a spell that is neither precisely emotional nor specifically topographic. Almost infinite variations of love are certainly explored in its 1,000-odd pages, and the presence of Alexandria certainly permeates the work, but I think the legendary fascination of the quartet is essentially existential. ![]() T he Alexandria Quartet, Lawrence Durrell's celebrated tetralogy from the 1950s, was defined by its author as "an investigation of modern love", but has often been regarded by its readers more as an evocation of a city – the Greco-Arab, multi-ethnic Alexandria of its title. ![]() ![]() ![]() Destined to be a classic memoir of wrongful imprisonment and freedom won, Mr. ![]() With a foreword by Bryan Stevenson, The Sun Does Shine is an extraordinary testament to the power of hope sustained through the darkest times.

I think it is awesome when writers write in different genres, not only do they pick up more readers but it strengthen their writing skills. And I'm glad she did, because I loved it. ![]() So I was surprised to hear that she is writing a sort of spoof/paranormal book. Mainly because the novels she writes aren't usually my type. But I'd like to hear more about Meena and her new adventures. If it's not, then the story stands very well on its own. Meena's gift adds another great element to the story and I hope that this is the beginning of a series. I like that the vampires were real vampires, teeth and seduction and blood drinking, and were unapologetic about it. Alaric, in particular, was my least favorite character.I thought the story was fun and fresh and enjoyed all the digs at the current vampire trend. I was less than infatuated with Lucien and the vampire slayer, Alaric. I really liked her and her brother and her neighbors. She is very relatable, with her frustrations with her job and her relationships. ![]() She has the power to see when a person is going to die and so that makes her much more sympathetic to others. The characters are much more rounded and usually don't make me feel like shaking anyone. The Little BookwormAs much as I love Meg Cabot's young adult books, I really love her adult books. ![]() |
