Well-developed main characters with a compelling mutual attraction give strength and charm to this romance set in 19th-century Great Britain. ![]() ![]() Faraday initially seemed rational, level-headed, and compassionate (but flawed), and I didn't expect him to have a dark side. Sealey and Caroline explain that hauntings/poltergeists are the dark unconscious bit of someone’s mind that can split off and, if nourished properly, can grow into shadow-selves or “little strangers”. ![]() However, the ending raised some questions that I would be curious to hear other people’s thoughts on.īoth Dr. ![]() Faraday (the narrator) is behind the haunting made toxic masculinity and entitlement into equally central themes. I thought The Little Stranger was mostly about the decline/decay of the upper class in the UK, but the strong suggestion at the end that Dr. ![]() I just read The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters, and I’m kind of impressed by ending and the way it expanded the themes covered by the novel. ![]() ![]() " Great book, but I liked the first one better. " Again, Dad reading epic books to 4 year olds. Along the same lines of this present darkness. " I read both 'Darkness' books every few years. If you read This Present Darkness then you need to read this one too. ![]() " The power of prayer agai shies in this book.

" Frank rocks, read all of his you won't be disappointed " - Tina, Another good read, if your into Christian fiction. ![]() ![]() " This is the equal to This Present Darkness. Very intense, very dark, but very thought provoking. " Great book! First one was better.but they are both very similar. Anawesome read for any christian who loves a good novel. I still really appreciate the way Peretti portrays spiritual warfare and the role we play in it through prayer. This one seemed longer and more intricate in its storyline. " A good follow up to the first book in the series. " Pretty good youth read, not quite as good as the first.

" - Paul, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite the author's claim that Julie represents a new challenge to Ishmael, the little girl is no Phaedrus, and in any case the gorilla hardly seems to need an interlocutor. The simian scholar tries to distill thousands of years of human wisdom and experience into a few simplistic preachments and parables. Must have an earnest desire to save the world."" So begins a 300-page lecture by a silverback gorilla who expounds his theories on the suicidal plunge of contemporary culture (the Takers) and his belief that learning from tribal cultures (the Leavers) is our only path to survival.

The only remotely interesting storyline in the book, Kiran, who has been transplanted to Venus to assist in terraforming, has any traction. She's a 140-something hermaphrodite of Chinese descent that grew up on Mercury (cool, right?), but at her age, she's completely self-absorbed, asks stupid questions, and selfishly makes HUGE decisions based upon input from an integrated AI in her brain: one day, she simply decided to start a revolution on Earth after seeing poor old people working in post-Saharan Africa's farms. I don't care about the main protagonist AT ALL. I made it about 60% through before I could identify the problems. ![]() His world building is great, but something about the novels fail to grab me.
