I don't mean to impugn her ability to understand the material, but she read as if Joan Didion's sentence structure was just too much for her. Would you be willing to try another one of Diane Keaton’s performances?Īlmost certainly not. ![]() It's too late to return this book, but it would have been my first return ever at Audible. But as a reader, at least of this kind of material, I could not listen past the first two stories. I love Diane Keaton's acting legacy, and her personal charisma, which shines through her film performances. My brain recoiled at the strangely off delivery, with dozens of obvious mistakes and hundreds more subtle "mis-aimed" attempts to add expression and dynamism. Liked best? Well, Joan Didion's writing, of course! Liked least? What a weird clash of writing style and narrator style. ![]() What did you like best about Slouching Towards Bethlehem?

You could almost say that the series shifts from urban fantasy to dystopia. In Angel Burn, it’s still pretty much the world as we know it, but by the time we get to Angel Fever, earthquakes have leveled all the major cities and humanity is captive. There’s a real darkening of tone as the series goes on and the story events become more desperate. What do you feel is the most significant change since Angel Burn? I realized then how much she’d grown as a character – from being a somewhat naïve teenager to a strong, capable woman. One of my favorite sections in Angel Fever is when she’s on the road by herself. ![]() She started out being a kind of sweet, quirky girl, but she always had a core of real strength, and this is challenged a lot throughout the series.

Picture of the first edition copyright page for The World According to Garp. Picture of the 1978 first edition dust jacket for The World According to Garp. The World According to Garp won the National Book Award. The 1951 first edition of The Catcher in the Rye, for example, states 19 on the copyright page because portions were previously published in The New Yorker. This is a common practice to note years where portions of a book were previously published. The answer is that portions of the book appeared in magazines in 19 before the entire book was published in 1978. Note: Some have asked why there are copyright dates from 19 on the copyright page if the first edition wasn't published until 1978. Please refer to the last photo on this page for more details. Later printing dust jackets are however about an eight of an inch shorter than the first printing jacket. The 0478 on the bottom right of the dust jacket back is sometimes mentioned as a first edition point, but it is found on later printing jackets as well.

First Edition Points and Criteria for The World According to Garp ![]() ![]() ![]() The story doesn't pick up as an actual fantasy tale until after the halfway mark, and when it does, the writing immediately becomes much less enjoyable. My first disappointment was in learning that the setting was modern-day New York, and the first half of the book straddled the line between contemporary and urban fantasy, at best. ![]() Marketing led me to believe that this was going to be the typical high fantasy world we see in fairytales. I wanted that uncaring, 'here's your blood and guts and your fucked-up happy ending' fairy-tale voice." Please remember that these are just my opinions! You are more than welcome to disagree or tell me your thoughts, but please do so respectfully. It was being marketed as a twisted fairytale, and those are my aesthetic for sure - the spookier and darker, the better - but this fell short in so many ways. ![]() It's time for another unpopular opinion review! This book was literally the single biggest reading disappointment of the year for me. ![]() |
