Movie: Lizzie, about Lizzie Borden. With Chloe Sevigney and Kristen Stewart

I wasn't feeling great today, so I watched Lizzie, a movie I've wanted to see for awhile, on HBO Max. It's not supposed to be nonfiction, but it sticks close to the facts--except that it combines Uncle John with the town constable. This is unfair. The real Constable/Sheriff did a great job, actually, while the real Uncle John was indeed a shady character. As shady as he is in the movie, I don't kn

Read the Google preview, which was about half the book, maybe more. Mostly good stuff so far, though it was like watching an R-rated Law and Order episode. Very genre, overly episodical, with the minor characters and just-the-facts ma'am mixed with t ...more

Another exceptional book by the author of Life After Life, this one about a 17-year old girl who gets lured into the world of espionage and snooping. It chronicles the days leading up to a spy ring’s arrest, and you think, that’s most of it. But this ...more

Extremely good, as usual, though again it pales in comparison to her Life After Life. It is an excepti9nal first novel and well-worthy of its many accolades. I think now that Life After Life is for her as Grand Budapest is for Wes Anderson: the pinna ...more

So well-written and interesting, it wasn’t until the middle of the book before I realized that nothing much was happening, and I can’t tell if that’s a good thing or not. You can definitely see the character traits that would find its way into slight ...more

I gave this book 4 out of 5 only because the writing and themes are very similar to Life After Life, which is clearly better. Both chronicle the (many) lives of Ursula and Teddy, and all of their offspring, siblings and friends/lovers/relatives. Iron ...more

So the easy part of this review is that you should read this. It took me about 2 1/2 days to read it all, and the regret is that there wasn’t more to read. I’ve been very fortunate to have back-to-back readings of books that made me not want to do an ...more

Long understood to be a classic (if not THE classic) of its genre, I found that the most amazing thing about this book is that it is an unbelievably great, tense and intense read, incredibly well-written—even though I’ve seen the film a ton of times ...more

It’s hard to believe this book was published in 1981, decades ahead of its time and subject matter, and that Thomas Harris had one of the best 1-2 punches of all-time in this genre, as this was followed by The Silence of the Lambs. He must’ve had the ...more

Difficult book to like, but the premise is intriguing: an author emails a chapter at a time to a beta-reader, who emails her his comments back. She’s in Australia, he’s in America, and we get to read her first draft and his comments, and the fallout ...more

Very good entry in the series, second-best in my view, though I haven’t read them all. Oddly told, as the narration keeps its light fluency, yet the story is serious, the characters are likable (even the bad ones) and the ending is lightly-told downe ...more

Hey Steven,

Been awhile since we exchanged blog comments, but I wanted to invite you to a really neat website I've come across: authorsunleashed.com

Since you are a pretty serious writer I thought you might be intersted. For practice or fun or whatever. Hope to see you there :-)
