Disappointing. One of the longest short reads I've had. What started as an intriguing premise ultimately did not go anywhere, and the plot, despite being so brief, was incredibly disjointed. The epilogue gave a romantic conclusion, I admit, but it re ...more

I got this and one other book of Buehlman's after how much I adored Between Two Fires, and, unfortunately, comparison is the (blacktongue (ha)) thief of joy.

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Rated this a few days ago, but had to sit on a review. I cannot believe it took me so long to read this book, considering how much I've heard people rave about it. As far as I'm concerned, the raving was accurate; Slaughterhouse-Five was incredible. ...more

“Water was running in the adjacent room; she
listened to the inane conversation on the television; she scraped the top of her foot against the couch cushions. She wanted to go to bed, but her thoughts were too heavy to carry upstairs. The carpet was comfortable enough.”
C.L. Methvin, Biting Silence
