A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin
After reading A Game of Thrones, I concluded that G. R. R. Martin is like a little boy who likes to create a big tower out of blocks, carefully laying one on top of the other, so the column reaches a great pinnacle that amazes. As mom’s running to take a picture, he gleefully smashes it down and watches the pieces scatter all over the room.…
The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne
In Kerrigan Byrne’s The Highwaywayman what started so beautifully took a turn into anachronistic historical. After a promising start, I found the heroine was both incomprehensibly modern & stupid at the same time. …
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Gone Girl depicts how people forge intimate bonds with media images of beautiful crime victims while demonizing the suspects with perfect, biting satire. This book befriended me in my time of illness and self-pity. It was a twisted friend, one that fed upon my sickness and bad feelings. …

While I enjoyed it, I was not moved by the ceaseless calamities nor by Shakespeare’s less than usually stellar dialogue.…
The Da Vinci Code By Dan Brown
Far from being the engaging blockbuster that I had heard, I found The Da Vinci Code to be an unremarkable let-down filled with flat characters and silly “twists.” Christians of all stripes, Gnostics, atheists, agnostics, historians, lovers of art, readers who enjoy characterization or fast-paced thrillers or even mildly entertaining books, all these people should be offended, because if you’re paying good money for an appealing story, this isn’t it.…
