Very good writing, psychologically & emotionally rich. Transgressive, too. But a little bit on the nose.
A lot to enjoy, but predictable relationship dynamics eventually take over from the initial bursts of imagination.
I have never read a book where I found the two main character so completely infuriating and yet I could not put it down
Lean and smart & I wish more books were as unfussy and solid as this. An excellent read.
There’s not a bad essay in it, despite the breadth of perspective different voices. Changed me.
Alternately extremely sad and then reeking of privilege. I am not sure how I feel about this book. Parts 1 & 3 were quite interesting but Part 2 was a little repetitive and dragged a little.
The ghost writer did a great job though
An excellent introduction and refresher on Methodist/Wesleyan theological principles, presented in a way that is both engaging and enjoyable. Something to be commend as a resource to use.
An excellent collections of micro setting. Each has it's own character and feel. Well worth a read.
Excellent reflection on the role of the Christian minister in the world, though you would need to understand D&D to get it.
I found the first three stories a little repetitive
A lovely romp through history with good old Harry
A deep and interesting read. The book invites you to go on a journey with the young girl at the centre. this is a journey through the trouble that have been internalised, to come to a new places. It is not an easy or comfortable journey for reader or protagonist. However there is a clear message for me, that keeping it all bottled up, internalising everything negative, is not the healthy route. There is a need to come back to it and work through it. To express it and go through it, but knowing it is ever there.
The art work as with much of Jenna Whyte's work has a depth that encourages revisiting and dwelling on the individual pages. There is always more to see and notice in them.
The book as a clear message and as a work of art is one I'd commend.
An excellent collection of small games. Most are only a few pages long and would run best as one off games. However they are also more about story telling than mechanics, so would make a good evenings entertainment for a group. Each game lays out what is needed to play and gives suggestions for timing, food and atmosphere.
The art work throughout the book is wonderful, and I can only commend the whole thing to you.
Another good read following on from Wolf Hall, but enough content to not be dependant on having read it. Again a good insight into the character of Cromwell, and nice not to lose that focus.
There were a couple of short pieces I didn't connect with, but it's a very strong collection. The editorial choices demonstrate an impressive breadth, the stories share thematic concerns or build on one of Lovecraft's idiosyncricies. None fall into pastiche.
