I know that Mitchell writes all of his novels in the same world with characters appearing in multiple novels. The only other book that I have read of Mitchell’s is Cloud Atlas (and I will probably get heat for this, but I actually enjoyed the movie better – that is an entirely different conversation however). That said, if you haven’t read The Bone Clocks, but you do plan to read it and don’t want the story spoiled, you may want to skip this post. It did help me consider David Mitchell’s strengths and weakness. This is one of the books on my MFA reading list, but I won’t actually be doing a close reading essay on this book.

The Loved One: An Anglo-American Tragedy (1948) is a short satirical novel by British novelist Evelyn Waugh about the funeral business in Los Angeles, the British expatriate community in Hollywood, and the film industry. ![]() ![]() ![]() On starting the book my initial thoughts were, how am I going to get through this? Four hundred and seventy eight pages of extremely wordy nineteenth century English in what was inevitably going to be a romance. Against this backdrop of social unrest, the relationship between the two is tumultuous, and it takes further upheaval and tragedy for them to see each other in a different light.įirst serialized in Dickens’s magazine Household Words in the same period as Hard Times, North and South shares its famous counterpart’s concern with the inequality and hardship generated by the Industrial Revolution in northern England, while at the same time creating one of the nineteenth century’s most memorable and engaging female protagonists in Margaret Hale. ![]() ![]() She is shocked by the poverty she encounters and dismayed by the unsympathetic attitude of the textile-mill owner John Thornton, whose factory workers are engaged in an acrimonious strike.

It just felt superficial the entire time I was reading and for the life of me I couldn't shake that feeling. I've never been one for insta-love couple that with the fact that I really don't think it's cool for the race's deity to be marrying one of his subjects, even if it's someone as powerful as Rahvyn? It's just not a winning match for me. While I like that he and Rahvyn are sort of evenly matched for power, that seemed to be the only thing they had in common. I just never really saw Lassiter as a romantic hero, and I can't say that I really got there after having read his book, despite that being a large part of the plot. ![]() Rahvyn and Lassiter: I don't really care about them as a couple. ![]() I just have some frustrations to work through, okay? And even though I'm about to rip into it pretty heavily, I did like most of it. This is mostly to help me process what the hell I just read. So please enjoy the following word vomit that are my feelings about this book. I wasn't in the mood to filter things out. It's got mild spoilers for the entire series (and spin-offs), so watch out if you aren't looking to see anything you aren't supposed to. ![]() So I'm just going to try and divide some of my many, many thoughts into some loosely arranged sections and go from there. I'm finding this one difficult to review. ![]() |
