Dream dark a beautiful creatures story5/29/2023 ![]() Also, it was SO short (75pgs) that it was over before I knew it - and I wanted more Link!! It was a 5-star story in my book, but 3-stars for the narrator choice. As always, I love the little moments where Link just talks about his zany family and all the craziness he endured - like hiding his love of the "devil book" (Harry Potter) or how he learned about sex ed: he'd learned all the facts of life the way God had intended, by spying on the girl's locker room next to the unheated swimming pool at church camp.Overall, an enjoyable read.

Trying to hide this from his overly religious-and-righteous mother was hilarious. We get a bit of the missing information about how Link became a dream-incubus (a "Linkubus" if you will (oh gosh, I love that. Setting aside my indignation - I liked this Link-centric story.

Her forthcoming book, Life After Gravity: Isaac Newton’s London Caree r, details the life of the titan of the so-called Scientific Revolution after his famous (though perhaps mythological) discovery under the apple tree. Rather than glorifying scientists as idealized heroes, she tells true stories about real people - men (and some women) who needed to earn their living, who made mistakes, and who trampled down their rivals in their questfor success.Fara sweeps through the centuries, from ancient Babylon right up to the latest hi-tech experiments in genetics and particle physics, illuminating the financial interests, imperial ambitions, and publishing enterprises that have made science the powerful global phenomenon that it is today.

My point here is that my experience has been that there's generally something an author wants to convey that tends to not find its way into a film adaptation there have also been times when I've wondered if the screenwriters have even read the book their movie is based on. None of that comes through in the movie - in fact, the movie changes quite a bit from the original book so that when I got around to watching it, I kept hearing myself say "I don't remember that from the book" and "where did they come up with this" or other things along those lines until I had to go reread Hill's novel to satisfy my own curiosity. If you watch the film, and that's your only guide to Hill's story, you miss the story of a man who is in profound grief and is trying to rationalize a personal trauma in the only way he can make sense of things. One of my favorite examples of this phenomenon is The Woman in Black, based on Susan Hill's most excellent novel. Watching is one thing capturing more of the nuances in a story than the screenwriter can convey in a movie is another. I have this thing about reading books (or sometimes short stories) before I see the film adaptations this year's main focus in my crime reading, in and around my normal bouncing from present to past, is reading books that eventually became movies - my own sort of personal page-to-screen challenge.
