The basic premise is that a global nuclear war has occurred, and people in the southern hemisphere (Australians, in this setting) are forced to wait for a period of about 6 months until the fallout reaches them and extinguishes all terrestrial life. The Australians as a nation decide to quietly accept their fate and, for the most part, just go about their lives as normal until they die. Many folks list this as required reading for the post-apocalypse genre, but I found it to be boring and unbelievable. Part of that may be the fact that the novel is dated (I think Shute vastly overestimated the destructive power of the worlds nuclear weapon stockpile), but it's primarily because the nation-wide laissez faire attitude just doesn't seem realistic. Even if folks believed their chances were negligible, there still would have been some kind of effort to stockpile food and medicine, and dig deep underground bunkers to escape the radiation. They even admitted that they had no idea how things would pan out since nothing like this had ever happened before, but still they made no attempt to survive as long as possible. Humans as a species just don't work that way. For the first 2/3 of the novel they dig gardens, feed their cows and go shopping. The last 1/3 of the novel is only marginally more interesting because they finally get around to the business of dying.

Shalimar is a fun read and a good story. His description of Kashimir in the 1940's is amazing and makes me wish I was there. However the end drags on and a lot of the twists are easily predictable. This was my first Rushdie but it won't be my last.

I just have one question... what in the world happened to Sarah Dessen?

I loved this time-bending tale that winds together the paths of characters in San Francisco and New York connected by the teen-punk scene, the music industry, family, and getting old. It's twisted, hilarious and familiar. I'm pretty sure Egan partied in San Francisco in the 90s.

“ A THRILLER, A GRIPPING TALE… THAT YOU WILL NOT SET DOWN UTIL IT IS FINISHED.” The author John Steinbeck wrote a book called “Of Mice and Men”, people thought that the book was going to be very boring myself included. Brittany C. said, “ I think the “Of Mice and Men” book was good. At first I thought it was going to be very stupid and boring”. When I read it I thought to myself that this is a good book because of the characters, they are funny. The drama is very good also a lot happens unexpectedly. It was also a lot of opportunities being dreamed of. The characters in the book are very humorous. They talk to each other any way they. George, a character in the book talks to Lennie another character in the book. Lennie does do anything when George talks to him like that. Lennie also says funny stuff about taking care of rabbits and mice. “I’ll go off in those hills right there- right up in those hills and live by myself. An I won’t get no mice stole from me.” Drama? The book does have a lot of drama. Curly wants to fight Lennie because Lennie is bigger then him, so he picks a fight with the biggest person at the farm. Lennie also kills a lot of things in the book; he kills mice every time he gets one. He even killed the puppy he had got and he end up killing Curly’s wife, but this wasn’t on purpose. The opportunities that were being dreamed of would of came true with in time. George and Lennie wanted to own their very own farm with pigs, rabbits and etc. The old man Candy wanted to join them after his dog got shot. Curly’s wife want to be an actress but she couldn’t because her mom wouldn’t allow her so she married Curly. I really enjoined “Of Mice and Men”; it’s a good book to read. A lot go on in the book but that’s what makes good to read. The characters are funny; they would have you laughing for a long time. “Of Mice and Men” would have you shocked with all the drama and the opportunities will make you want to reach higher in life. Pick up the book “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck, you will like it.

Freddie has spent the last six years obsessing over the final days of his brother George. Because of this, he has inadvertantly made himself open to a ghostly experience. I loved this book. It was beautifully written and the illustrations really added to the mood. The reader can clearly see what is happening to Freddie even thou he can not. The reader knows what is waiting for him, and who's who. Even thou, the suspence is there. A beautiful story.

Ben(short for Benevloence)is a very different princess heroine. She is plain, fat and obnoxious. In most fantasy she would be the bad guy. While Ben can't change her looks she can change her attitude. This is one of the few fantasies where the lead character's development is more important than the plot.

Although I've considered myself a Christian for most of my life this book helped to crystalise the role of sin in my life and how it separated me from God and the wonderful gift of salvation thru Christ Jesus

The following part will remain the same in all my reviews of this series, I think, but I'll try to add some of my thoughts on the individual works in the next few days. I've reorganised my calibre library a few days ago, and stumbled upon this series. I'd long forgotten that I made it until the ninth novel before finally giving up. And the truth is, originally, I even enjoyed several of Ward's stories. Of course, in hindsight I'm asking myself how much I can hate my own gender to be that way, or how ingrained the sense of classism has to be for me to have enjoyed stories that, in any shape and form, were glaringly offensive. In my defense, this series is the one, and most likely also only one, that profitted from being translated into another language. Yes, the German version was better, so I only truly realised why people were criticisng Ward's writing when I re-read parts of the books in English. The Back Dagger Brotherhood series certainly influenced the genre in a massive way, and not all of it was bad. Even though she had two males have sex without lube -and I didn't read the story, so I can't say anything further- she did *dare* to write about a slash pairing in a mainstream paranormal romance novel. She unapologetically wrote the silliest, angiest plot-lines out there, and encouraged by fans reactions continued to do so, despite harsh critics out there. My problem is; and in order to discuss this or at least somewhat understand where I'm coming from, it has to be agreed that fiction does not exist in a vacuum, therefore representation in modern media is important and influencial; that Ward also treats her ladies rather badly. I don't mind stories focussed on cishet male's in their physical prime, but it can't be on the cost of creating full-fledged, interesting heroines. There are many things people have already addressed: The existence of sexism in a "superior" race, the existence of classism in it - that there is a race that feels content to always be inferior to them, to serve the vampires, the implications of the entire worldbuilding, and often rather random solutions to the stories, etc pp. are things that fundamently bother me now. But when I first read them, my shields were down. I just accepted them as they were. And that's what bothers me even more. Because fiction doesn't exist in a vacuum, and even when I close a book, the content stays with me. So, it's absolutely okay to be entertained by this series, or to love the characters. I can also see that several relationships made sense in the contect of the characters' personalities and circumstances. But Ward could have spend more time acknowledging certain conflicts than creaing more, and unneccessary, man-pain/angst. * * * * * I really wanted to like Phury's story, but I can't recall that I did. That has more to do with my expectations than Ward's story. Overall, it was an average Ward, I would say.
