An interesting read about the end of the world told in script form. The discussion about the nature of men between a young scientist and the devil is worth the read alone.

If there were less (MUCH less) sex and violence this book would probably have a substantially higher avg rating, yet some people are puritans at heart, revolted by detailed graphic violence. While i agree with them (i also can hardly stand all the deviations known to man in every new book) the book still doesnt deserve a one/two star rating. Honestly, rarely have i bumped into characters so well drawn that they remind of people i know- the tomboyish girl scorned at, the princess-kind sister who cant face reality in adulthood, hard and crude man at first glance yet capable of deep sympathy- all of these people i know. Many more are the the highlights of this series that cant be overlooked. Its not fantasy, its not medieval historical yet its both at the same time, and sometimes it seems like the later books are choking on it, especially the fourth, yet i trust Martin, for only two can be the reasons for 6 years without sequel- either hes tired of it, or fanatically perfectionist about it.

I love The Stand. I love it for several reasons. First, there are many characters that you get to know very well. They are deep and interesting. My favorite by far is Nick, but Stu and Tom Cullen are great, too. That includes the villains, too. I love Trashcan Man. I love how Flagg pops up in various King novels. Second, I liked how at least part of this story is possible, which is what made it somewhat scary in the beginning. While reading this book, when you are around other people and they cough or sneeze, you can't help but think "Captain Tripps," and want to inch away and laugh at the same time. It is possible that a virus (or something else) could kill thousands of people and those who remain would have to survive. Another one of the elements I loved is that the book describes how the virus spreads, how the news is censored and released, how the disease control people deal with it, which was interesting and scary, because the virus wins over everything the people try to do. However, I don't want to give the impression that the whole book is about the virus. A huge portion of it is about rebuilding afterward, which is also interesting and something not seen in many end of the world movies. And the fact that the books tells more of the full story, rather than just the disaster part, is another reason why I love this book.

Sherwood is very deft at telling good stories, but ultimately I preferred her first novel, Green. This one is very much of the historical/fantastical fiction ilk, with a mad Habsburg king, a golem, and a preternatually beautiful heroine.

"Describes the experiences of a family of Cambodian refugees as they learn to adjust to a different way of life in the United States while holding on to their ethnic heritage" (Annotation from www.barnesandnobel.com)
Possibly the greatest Science Fiction ever.

A rich book ... loaded with evocative and provocative notions of aging, character, and the soul.
Wise Children. “Hope for the best, expect the worst.” The motto of Grandma Chance, the guardian of the central characters in Angela Carter’s final novel. Written as a memoir by one woman from a pair of twin sisters, this story follows the history of a family of actors over the course of nearly a century. It contains many witty observations on the thespian trade, and the journey to the “wood” is one of the funniest commentaries on the film-making business that I have read in a long time. If you like your old ladies in an Alan Bennett flavour, you’ll enjoy this. At first, the memoirs were a little linear: this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened. I felt like I was reading a memoir written like a seven year old, and was indeed expecting the worst. The story is like a play in three acts. The first act sets some scenes, introduces us to the characters, and raises a few giggles, although the family tree feels a little too complicated to keep up with. The middle act builds up the pace, the life stories start to twist and turn, intertwining in one direction and then casting off in tangents. The last third is read in one fail swoop, the story develops into farce, and the one-liners become sharper and fiercer. By the end, somewhat exhausted, the loose ends are tied up and an encore is performed. The audience gives a standing ovation: yes or no? –ish. Very –ish. Ok, I enjoyed some of the observational humour; Angela Carter had obviously put in considerable effort to honing and fine-tuning the characterisations. But, apart from the comedy value, this book irritated me. I just wanted to leave this family of thesp’s to their own self-induced, self-absorbed demise. I didn’t want to hear anymore about the long-lost Uncle blah-blah, who you just KNOW is going to make a late entry and save the day. Irritated. But perhaps that’s the point? Is this what a satire on familial generations of actors should be like? A tad too lovey; a smidgen too much Ra-de-bloody-da perhaps (the joke is in the story, I promise you). I have to stop now before I start to ad lib. I’ll leave you to make up your own mind about Grandma Chance’s motto. For the laughs: four stars For the story: two stars Overall: three stars (but only because of the fine observational humour)
