Review:
I disagree with the critic who thinks Luke is a bit too wise seven year old. Even though the narrator, Luke, is telling a story that occured in the seventh year of his of life, it is clear that the novel is from an adult perspective, much like a grown Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird. The narrator is not really an innocent seven year old now, but was when he was seven. Both stories are told using past tense, from adults looking back on their own coming of age experiences.

Review:
During the writing of Sometimes a Great Notion, Ken Kesey mentioned the manuscript in a letter to his friend saying, "It's a big book. Possibly a damned big book. Certainly a remarkable book. Perhaps even a great book." (qtd. Tanner 54) Kesey was correct on all accounts. It is a big book, 628 pages big. The book is remarkable for its complex narrative technique, its homespun treatment of life and death, and its realistic depiction of the life and attitude of a small Pacific Northwest logging community. It is a great book because it takes the literature coming out from and about the Pacific Northwest to a level that has yet to be outdone. Above all these things, Great Notion is a modern epic dealing with the struggle for man to find w... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
In The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of, Thomas Disch does for science fiction what he did for poetry in The Castle of Indolence. First, he treats it not as a playground for idle dreamers, but as a branch of serious literature with significant cultural impact. Second, he brings the perspective of a seasoned practitioner to bear in separating the wheat from the chaff. For example, if you ever wanted to know why L. Ron Hubbard managed to start a cult but Philip K. Dick didn't, Disch is your man. Beginning with Edgar Allan Poe, Disch elaborates a vision of science fiction as one of the twentieth century's most influential manifestat... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
I dont know how M.C. does it. He makes all these great books, his head is just full of these great stories. Timeline was the first M.C. book i read, i thought it was the greatest book i've ever read. It's about this team of people who are trying to rebuild this castle. something dosnt seem right so the lead arcialogist go to the ITC (people who are sponsoring them) building in nevada to see what's up. They find out that ITC found a way into the past by passing through universes... I would go on and tell you more but you got to read it for yourself, if i gave away any more info i would probley spoil the book for you. The last thing i'm sayin is it was a great book... one of the best i've ever read
