Nowhere Is A Place, eBook

by McFadden, Bernice L.
eBook - 2013
redoute's rating:
4 out of 5 stars
Added Feb 13, 2021

Comment:

This book is the anti- "Gone With the Wind." Actually, it is much, much more than that. But it is a good antidote to the romanticization of southern plantation life. Painful but very beautiful.

Comment:

This is my second Sophie Hannah. I liked the first much better. This one's subplots were unnecessarily complicated. However, I still like her writing style very much.

Lakewood, eBookA Novel

redoute's rating:
5 out of 5 stars
Added Feb 06, 2021

Comment:

This was fascinating in a number of ways and layers. How much should you trust authorities? How much should you sacrifice for loved ones? What is the difference between reality and the perception of reality and does that difference matter? And then it touches on the dark history of governmental experimentation on vulnerable populations. American history in this regard is bad enough, but is this experimentation still taking place?

The Carrier, eBook

by Hannah, Sophie
eBook - 2015
redoute's rating:
4.5 out of 5 stars
Added Feb 03, 2021

Comment:

I disagree with the earlier reviews. This is my first book by the author. While it took me awhile to figure out who the various characters were, and the relationships to each other, I found it to be a believable and well-thought out plot. The characters were interesting, with credible descriptions of their personal flaws, instead of simplistic descriptions of "good guys" and "bad guys." I thoroughly enjoyed it and found the complete plot, as driven by the complex characters, to be interesting and captivating. Definitely will read more by this author.

High Price, eBookA Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know About Drugs and Society

by Hart, Carl L.
eBook - 2013
redoute's rating:
4.5 out of 5 stars
Added Jan 31, 2021

Comment:

Strongly endorse kjdeer's review. This book is now seven years old, and apparently Dr. Hart has continued his research, further debunking mainstream understanding of illegal drug usage. The autobiographical parts of the book are, of course, not scientific "proofs" of anything. But Dr. Hart makes a convincing argument that it is not necessarily the illegal drugs themselves that are the problem, but that the problem lies within the society in which they are consumed.
