![]() It was so dedicated to being Bizzaro that the plot itself suffered for it. It took almost a quarter of the book to even figure out what was going on (far too long) and, even then I often barely kept up with the erratic plot and perspective shifts. And here, the very first review I have to write after, I find I have very little positive to say, even when trying. Just yesterday I said I was going to make a concerted effort to be more tactful in my reviews, even negative ones.

Brief Summary of Book: Treasure of the Abyss (The Kraken, #1) by Tiffany Roberts ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He thinks of their friendship as a “bucolic dream,” the “perfect combination of solitude and companionship.” The specter of death feels to the narrator “like a game of musical chairs. (His melancholy excursions include cruising a video arcade and a boat ramp in nearby Gainesville, places he’s visited for the past couple of decades.) Earl is a retired accountant and widower, and their common interests-books, music, “fine furniture,” picking blueberries-have bound them through the years as they remember friends of theirs who have died from AIDS and the narrator cared for his ailing parents.

Chapter 1 begins with a discussion of how Indian history is often based more upon myth and rumor than fact. King also explains that he will generally use the term “Indian” to refer to Native American peoples, though he also uses Native, Aboriginal, and other names. While most historians would attempt to present the facts from a chronological and objective point of view, King sees his writing as more akin to storytelling and regularly uses personal anecdotes. ![]() ![]() In the Prologue, “Warm Toast and Porcupines,” King explains how his book differs from traditional history books. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Luken’s latest fantasy, it isn’t a sexuality the main character is keeping secret.

He was the first teen character to come to me and although he was stubborn and took a while to trust me, he eventually did tell me what was going on. ![]() The Shoveler-he’s dear to me because he’s the one who started this whole thing. She’s being made to live in a house she will never fit into, with a mother who is so abhorrent to her that she will do anything to get out of there, even if it’s not all that legal. I adore CanIHelpYou? because she is both so honest and so not-honest at the same time. He’s going through a lot and I love his outlook on life, poverty, history, and the future. I’m going to answer this from the hip and see what I come up with. And because I tend to live in the gray spaces of life, the idea of “favorites” is hard for me.

Forever focused on Creation, we see it as only a mirroring of untrammeled regions that we have darkened. Since neither can get beyond the other, each of them turns back into World. As if by someone's oversight, space opens behind the partner. And lovers, if their partner didn't block the view, could then draw near and be astonished. Or someone dying is it, and, near death, does not see death but stares beyond it, his gaze perhaps large as the mammals'. As children we lose ourselves to this in silence, until abruptly shaken. It's always the real world, never a Nowhere void of negation, a pure Unsurveillance that can be inhaled, forever known and thus not craved. ![]() Yet we don't, not even for a single day, have pure space before us, a place where flowers forever bloom. That, only we see the unhindered animal keeps its decline and sunset ever behind it, with God before and, if it walks, goes forward in timelessness, like springs that well and flow. ![]() ![]() What does exist outside we come to know from their faces alone in fact, we make even young children turn and take a backward look at fixed concepts, not at the openness deep in those mammal features. Only our seeing is retrospective, set like traps around them, an obstacle that blocks the path to freedom. With all of their eyes, animals behold openness. ![]() |
