No Country for Old Gnomes: The Tales of Pell by Kevin Hearne

This was barely a 3 for me. It is not nearly as funny as it thinks it is. I was amused from time to time but I am not sure I am going to be reading the next book. I talked myself into this one so I won’t rule it out.

Kill the Farm Boy: The Tales of Pell (The Tales of… by Kevin Hearne

As per usual no stars for a book I gave up on. I really wanted to like it. I even violated my own rule of giving up on a book by page 50 if I wasn’t digging it. I read over half the book in fits and starts. Then I picked up a Barry Eisler and finished it a day. That told me it was time to leave this one behind.

The Violence: A Novel by Delilah S. Dawson

Yes, all the characters are stereotypes come to life. The abused daughter raises an abused daughter who raises a daughter that just escapes from abuse because external forces brought the abuse to "light". I don't know how women stay abused, nor how women who are abused find their way out of it... but both do occur.

What does it say about our society that we all recognize abused women is a common enough occurrence that it is a stereotype?

I think the story is well told, well paced, engaging, and we can tell the characters apart from one another.

What was the instigation of the change? Was it believable? That might be on the subjective side: The rationale behind Patty's change(s) is pretty slim, the daughter... a bit thicker, but still... bit deus ex machina overall.

I kinda like when justice is served, so I am okay with the way the story resolved. Would it happen IRL? Well... it IS fiction, so whatevs. The narration is very good.… (more)
