Book Review: My Husband's Wish
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband wishfully said he'd like to have a copy of Weaveworld again to reread. He didn't know I ordered it from Amazon. It arrived in excellent condition and he's reading it happily. He says it's as good as he remembered.Book Review: My all time favourite
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book I have ever read. In my opinion it's even better than Lord of the Rings.Book Review: Not Barker's Best Book
Summary: 3 Stars
I was not terribly impressed with the story line. I usually love Clive Barker, but this was not his best book by any means.Book Review: Nothing Ever Begins
Summary: 5 Stars
And with that line we pick up on this story without a beginning and without an end.We meet Calhoun Moody and Suzannah Parrish. Two people who come together. Cal, who lives with his depressed dad and pigeons. And Suzannah who travels from England to at the wish of a cryptic note from her Grandmother she barely knew. She finds her on her death bed. These two are brought together during a run in with a human salesman and the incantatrix Immacolata, who is using the salesman for her will. They are after a carpet. A carpet that houses the Seerkind. Immacolata was once one of them, but she escape now she want them destroyed.
And so the story goes from there. Suzannah (who receives part of Immacolata's menstruum, and thus some of her powers), and Mad Mooney must get this carpet back from those two eveil people. They are met by a few stragglers from "The Fugue" who help (and don't help) the two on their journey. This is an epic fantasy novel that could rival classics like The Riftwar Saga and The Lord of the Rings.
Clive Barker uses his masterful writing to paint us a beautifl image of England as well as The Fugue, the two places that most of the story is told in. And the words all weave together to tell this wonderful story. And if reading that last three paragraghs doesn't bring a tear to your face as you finally close this chapter of the adventure, I don't know *what* will.
You owe it to yourself to pick this wonderful book up and give it a read.
Book Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
There are only three fantasy/sci-fi books that I've read in my life (and I've read thousands) that have left me stunned at the end and wishing that they wouldn't end. Stephen King's "The Tommyknockers," (Sad, stupid movie not withstanding) Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game" and this one. I have read all of Mr. Barker's books and this is by far my favorite. Being forced to stop reading it by some distraction was always a jolt to my system. It was like being dragged from a deep sleep with lucid dreaming where you feel disconnected from reality when you awaken. That's the kind of hold this book had on me. I would highly recommend it to all fans of horror.
