Recent reread. I'd love to rate this higher, because I do like Aiken, but the main characters aren't quite as interesting as the ones later in the series and the story is less complex. It Simon the goose boy is an intriguing character we'll see more o ...more |

Wobble To Death (Sergeant Cribb, #1):
"Peter Lovesey channels the great mystery writers of the late 19th century in this novel, which debuts the quirky but persistent Sergeant Wally Cribb.
The Victorians loved betting on all sorts of offbeat sports, including “wobbles,” a sort of indoor m" Read more of this review » |

“I would like to carve my novel in a piece of wood. My characters—I would like to have them heavier, more three-dimensional ... My characters have a profession, have characteristics; you know their age, their family situation, and everything. But I try to make each one of those characters heavy, like a statue, and to be the brother of everybody in the world.”

“Everyone underestimates their own life. Funny thing is, in the end, all our stories...they're the same. In fact, no matter where you go in the world, there is only one important story: of youth, loss and yearning for redemption. So we tell the same story, over and over. Only the details are different. ”

Sorry I've fallen so far behind in keeping up with people's reviews. I went through a period of 'pointed stick time' (these are times when I'm convinced that any technology more complex than a pointed stick is too prone to breakdown to be reliable). Through all of September, my computer was in the shop. I'm getting caught up on my backlog, but it'll likely be some time before I get caught up. So I, as well as my correspondents, will likely have to school ourselves to patience for some time yet.
Oouh I was so surprised when I finally entered to yr prof page!!I was about to comment on the picture I show on yr avatar & now.. Anyway I am sure we'll get along, from following Ya for the whole time I show an genuine match on our tastes
Take care Jay ( such a loong name at first I thought u were pulling my leg or that u were wearing a Hindu nickname, Like Sam in Zelazny's work on "lord of Light" )
I will be sure to add U on my future recommendations :D
Thanks for the acceptance. Quite a nice list of books you've read there.
Hey welcome to Goodreads.Heh i didnt know you rated Jack Vance that highly.
Cheers, Ivonne
