5/24/2023 0 Comments Dean koontz prodigal son seriesReading Dean Koontz's "Frankenstein" is a singular experience. Lane to have mastered several of these speaks to a remarkable talent. It is difficult enough for non-natives to reproduce even one of these regional dialects very few in the entertainment industry accomplish even that. Even more impressive than his general narration is that he has almost perfectly captured the myriad accents and dialects found in the region of southeastern Louisiana, particularly in New Orleans itself. Listening to his reading is an undeniable pleasure. Smooth and erudite, almost hypnotic, he has absolutely captured the spirit of the work. Christopher Lane's narration of this modern classic is very near to perfection. The most logical and frightening continuation of Mary Shelley's classic, it totally engages the reader on a visceral level. Detailed, descriptive, completely engaging, it grabs onto your psyche and never lets go. The narrative is, frankly, beautifully crafted. "Frankenstein: Prodigal Son", a true modern masterpiece of by one of the preeminent masters of suspense, a must-read for anyone with an interest in this genre. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Lamott anne bird by birdLove it or hate it, writing can feel like a big task, especially if you're facing down your end-of-semester research paper or, you know, your first novel.

She relies on Rosalind for everything, needing to be close to her at all times. Batty immediately takes to the boy they meet at Arundel, Jeffrey, and mentions marrying him in the future. She seems to have a good relationship with Jane as they are the two youngest sisters, but Jane does hang out with Skye more. She is shown to have a rather rocky relationship with Skye and to be very close to her dog, Hound. She is four when the Penderwicks go to Arundel. The book begins with a flash-forward, Batty speaking to her sisters as an adult. In the second book, we learn from a story that Batty tells her neighbor (and later brother) Ben that Batty was once dropped in the water at Cape Cod and almost drowned. Her older sisters are curious about her, though Skye and Jane seem to be more concerned about when their mother will return home than about their new sister. In the prologue of the second book, Batty is a baby still in the hospital. |
