Joyce Carol Oates

Ecco, 2003

The 'Tattooed Girl:' where is she going, where has she been?

+ Joyce can make any story interesting.

"Where do you live, I live in Hell. I am a child of Hell. I am an American and a child of Hell. Ask me if I am happy, I am" (p. 142). I have been hooked on Joyce Carol Oates ever since reading her short story, "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been," in a college literature class. In her ...

Viking Adult, 2004

Ancestors of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley

"Ancestors of Avalon" is written in Zimmer Bradley's unique and detailed style, much as her other books of the Arthurian legend and her science fiction series have made her famous. The reader feels as if s/he is actually there because the characters are drawn so vividly. Her knowledge of the ...

Wonderful and uplifting

+ Another great one
+ Great Read!

I love this author. She writes such wonderful stories. I find this book is great for women who are not happy with their lives. It is a great example of how we can completely change our lives by changing our own attitudes and views on life. It also makes you think about what it really important in ...

I can add little to the other wonderful reviews

+ The Pendulum Keeps Swinging
+ A note

Okay, this WAS a hard book to read. So much going on and so many references to cults and phenomina. Reading this book is more of an education than an entertainment. But what fun! Eco is a true literary genius, in the same class as his italian brethren of musical fame. Baudolino is perhaps ...

Engaging Performance on Books on CD

+ Enjoyed It...

I gave up on J. Kellerman some years ago and only picked this up on CD at the library when I failed to put something of more interest on my reserve list in time. Far from it being a fill-in, I'm loving the book. The reader is a wonderful performer. Like Jim Dale, he gives each character a different ...

Brooke Stevens

St. Martin's Griffin, 2001

an astoundingly philosophical message from a touching story

+ A good, strange read.
+ 2 thumbs up

I was reading Nietzsche's "the Antichrist" at this time and read this on a whim. The story is heart-wrenching and touching in all the awful things that happen. It's completely unpredictable and exceptionally well written. To think such a great work of fiction can have such philsophical ...
