![]() ![]() Gambling on a first novel by an unknown author, they backed the book with television advertising (one of the first times a paperback original was promoted on television) and the gamble paid off. ![]() ![]() His agent decided the outline had all the makings of a best-seller, and so did Dell. ![]() He put together an outline, and crossed his fingers.Īt that point, things started getting bizarre. Then, in 1976, one of his manuscripts reached Dell, who didn't want to buy it, but asked if he'd be interested in writing a psychological thriller. Eventually he found an agent in New York, who spent several years sending his manuscripts around, and trying to make the rejection slips sound hopeful. Those years garnered him a nice collection of unpublished manuscripts, but not a lot of money. Should anyone ever want to write a novel concerning the car-rental industry or the travails of temporary typists, John can provide excellent background material. He attended several colleges-Antioch, in Ohio, Cerritos, in Norwalk, California, Montana State University and San Francisco State College, variously majoring in anthropology, liberal arts, and theater, but never obtaining a degree.Īfter leaving college, he decided the best thing for a college dropout to do was become a writer, and spent the next fifteen years working in various jobs while attempting to write a book someone would want to publish. John Saul grew up in Whittier California where he graduated from Whittier High School in 1959. ![]() ![]() He's arrogant, he's self-righteous and he constantly imposes on those around him. I have to say, again, how much I hate Michael. I already have a horrible idea that Ivy is going to grow up and have a crush on him. I would like to see more female characters in the series approached without their attractiveness and romantic potential with Harry being a factor. This applies even to shapeshifting daemonic Denarians who have only shifted their heads to human. I don't like that – I doubly don't like it since a) 99.9999% of all women Harry meets for even a second are attractive and b) we're usually treated to a long description of how attractive they are and how much Harry thinks they're sexy. ![]() With the exception of Charity (who was always rather over the top in her dislike of Harry), there has been a romantic potential with every woman he has dealt with for any length of time. Molly had a huge crush on him – and now Luccio and he are possibly dating. Murphy had the whole will they/won't they thing. No, it bothers me because nearly every woman Harry has dealt with on a repeated basis has on some level been a love interest. Luccio is the instigator, is confident and I think they could work. Not because I find it bad in and of itself – I actually quite like it. Character-wise, I could do without the whole Luccio/Harry relationship. ![]() ![]() ![]() It told me to be more appreciative and thankful for what I have, and sorry for even the little name-calling that I did back in high school. So instead of making me sad, Empty served as an eye-opener. ![]() My parents didn't get a divorce, I didn't realize my dad hadn't really loved me, my mom has never been too wrecked to be a mother, my best friend is not becoming a stranger, and I am not filling any internal void with food. The reason why it didn't affect me as much as I wanted it to was because, thankfully, my life's been very far from that. The prose was good, oozing with darkness and depression, befitting of Dell's emotional and disturbing life. ![]() Unfortunately, it failed to make that connection with me.But that's not to say Empty was a failure. It aims - at least I think it does - to grab the reader's heart and plug in a wire to connect with it, to unmask Dell's disappointments hidden behind self-deprecation and nonchalance. (This review was originally posted at My Library in the Making.)Let me tell you one thing about this book: it is not about hope or enlightening. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Had he not, in his hungover state, opened the email, Graham could have continued on his predetermined successful, if dysfunctional, path and never embarked on the paradigm-shifting journey that so loosens his grasp on reality and obliterates not only what he chooses to believe but what he trusts as fact. ![]() Graham must work to unravel a litany of secrets sobering in their implications not only for himself, but for the past twelve-thousand years of human history and the secrets of the universe. Graham, a functioning alcoholic and Harvard medical student and the protagonist of Into the Rabbit Hole, stumbles across a puzzling communication from his deceased Navy Seal brother.

The mystery begins immediately when Lacey sees soldiers and a small angry mob outside of a house on Hanover Square. He’s not financially doing well, he suffers from depression and from the pain of a poorly-healed injury, and he’s emotionally grieving for a number of things, some of which are revealed in this book and some which are only alluded to.

As the years pass, Joan settles into her new life in California, teaching dance and watching her son, Harry, become a ballet prodigy himself.

That road, with detours to the Bermuda Triangle (“you draw a line from Miami to San Juan, Puerto Rico to Bermuda”), is a bumpy one, and it passes right by the door of a mysterious, permanently peeved psycho. Kay’s latest examinee is bound up somehow with her niece, the subject of said video, a techie with a thick wallet and mad skills of a sort that Lisbeth Salander might envy. In the latest imposition on her good nature, a video lands on her phone while she’s combing through an icky scene, a young woman whose “once slender body in the early stages of putrefaction, bloated with areas of her skin slipping.” That’s grody to the max, to be sure, but, there being no accidents and no coincidences in this strange world of ours, it stands to reason that somehow Dr. ![]() Kay, forensic pathologist extraordinaire, doesn’t lead a dull life, even though much of her time is spent holding one-sided conversations with dead people.
