| Another wonderful read. In this book, Murderbot tries to discover how personally culpable he was for some killings he carried out prior to the start of the series. He also forms a couple of alliances: one with some young humans who are trying to get ...more | |

| 2.5 stars. The writing, never top-notch, seemed worse with this book. Too many people dragging a hand down their faces, too many people saying "aaaaaand." Too many lengthy, repetitive discussions. The villains, especially, love to talk a lot, instead ...more | |

| 2.5 stars. An atypical entry--kind of a placeholder between earlier and later books in the series, with some original material but a lot that repeats what we already know. Although I have a sweet tooth, I'm getting frustrated with the prevalence of d ...more | |

3.5 stars. Well-written, ambitious, character-based novel about an interracial couple and their daughter. The perspective-shifting (from one character's to another's to omniscient) was confusing for me at first. At one point, I wondered, "How does sh ...more |

| 3.5 stars. A new and really cute addition to the crew: the half-man/half-reindeer doctor Tony Chopper. Other new characters: Dr. Kureha, a nutty elderly woman doctor. | |

Buck's review
of
The Path to Power (The Years of Lyndon Johnson, #1):
"Not being American myself, I have no particular interest in US presidential history, unless that history can be shoehorned into an entertaining biopic, preferably with a British actor in the lead role. (I wonder who they’ll get to play Obama when the"

| Wonderfully well-written and exhaustively-researched account of Lyndon Johnson's boyhood, youth, and early years in politics. I learned as much about how rural Texans lived, and how politics worked, in the early 1900s, as I did about our ambitious, d ...more | |

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”

“This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.”
