Chris is an immunologist who, instead of songs, often gets words stuck in his head. He loves stories of all types, especially speculative fiction. He enjoys writing both poetry and prose, but despite living a mere thirty minutes from Walden Pond, Chris has yet to embrace a solitary life in the woods. (He does like to go there on walks with his two kids.)

I am entirely frank in my reviews, which means you will see both positive and negative ratings from me. I read a lot, and I use Goodreads to remember what I did and didn't enjoy about books. Hopefully you will find my reviews and recommendations useful as well.

Please remember, though, that reading is a very subjective experience, and my opinions frequently say more about me than they do about the work in question. If I dislike something you wrote or enjoyed, that's my loss. (Though if you feel I've been unfair, you are welcome to comment or message me about it.)

Also, note that my preferences and opinions change over time, so reviews from 5-10 years ago may not reflect how I would react to the same work today.(less)

Unspun: Heart of a Thief

I really love fairy tale adaptations. I tend to agree with Debora Geary who said, "Fairy tales have more logic holes than the average conversation with a three year old." These stories are full of improbable incongruities that have nothing to do with pumpkin coaches or fairy godmothers. And so there is something inescapably fun about unpacking motivations that could drive our beloved characters in Read more of this blog post »
