We’re not that far ahead in time after Dune Messiah. For a recap – at the end of Messiah Paul kinda just wandered away into the desert after Chani died in childbirth. It’s not a spoiler for Children of Dune, but totally for Messiah. If you’re reading this review, I really hope you’ve read Messiah, or just don’t care if you’re spoiled! Paul Muad’Dib’s kids Leto and Ghanima are under the care of their aunt Alia. She’s kinda crazy though. She is the same “type” […]

My dad read this book a long time ago. It was originally published in 1965, but he read it in 1983. I’m sure he told me about it later (I was only 2 in 1983), because I remember him talking about it. I also have vague memories of watching the original movie. They aren’t good memories. I guess they’re not necessarily bad, they’re just weird. I remember the worms, and I remember a very large bad man. I guess I also remember the blue eyes. […]

There are a LOT LOT LOT of “sleepwalkers” in this book. I was trying to explain […]

My tapeworm tells me what to do

FYI – doing a search for “Parasite” on Amazon brings up some really weird choices: and Am I not properly cleansing myself of intestinal worms? It freaked me out a little bit. Anyway… the book: I really liked this book. I had read a sample of this book a while ago from Amazon. I was so interested, but since I read so many books, I’m kind of a cheap-o. Enter my library! I was so excited when I saw they had this book. I […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
