A perfectly crafted book written by a debut novelist. Seriously impressive.

I loved everything about Remarkably Bright Creatures: the characters, the story, the setting, the description, the relationships, and, yes, most of all, the octopus. Oh, Marc

Mary Bokkon Just read a pretty decent first novel called /Wild Girls/, in which the villain is a "Dr. David Bell," handsome folklorist, academy headmaster and seducer of young women, who gets ripped apart by a gang of maenads. I think you'd like it. :-) Wild Girls

Daniel You really do write good reviews, Molly. There are many outfits out there willing to pay for review writing but the majority will at least give you a free book. I'd think about this and maybe even start up your own web page reviewing books. If you do this then MOST publishers will send their very first printed copies to librarians and review writers FREE. You simply read it then give them their review. ALL of them want to print good reviews of their books BEFORE these books come out to the public.
