| What a book! At 500 pages, it’s her longest work, and I loved every word. The story is about predictions, predetermination, mathematical probability, and love. As with all her work, analyzing it offers a master class in structure, characterization, a ...more | |

| Fennelly uses short-form essays to share poignant, wry, and thought-provoking stories about her life. Some are as short as a single sentence. I admire the structure, the elegant prose, and the wit. | |

| I know, I know, what am I doing reading a book from 1986? It’s because I love Carl Hiaasen’s wry humor and his astonishing characterization prowess. You know people in a sentence or two. The story is fun, the twists are unexpected, and you learn plen ...more | |

“A traditional mystery is a whodunit, whereas a thriller is a how-can-we-stop-them-from-doing-it. As you compare these seemingly opposite subgenres in Figure 1.1, you’ll note that although they differ in essential ways, they share a fundamental element—the use of suspense.”
