All in Fiction

Night Watch

Night Watch is written with lovely prose, but unfortunately, it was just not my cup of tea. Stomach-turning scenes and an unsatisfying ending left me unhappy with it.

Blackouts

Blackouts is a genre-defying work of art, cerebral and emotional both. It’s impossible to not appreciate what a truly impressive work it is.

This Other Eden

This Other Eden isn’t perfect, but it is gorgeously written and undeniably moving. I’m not surprised it’s a finalist for both the Booker Prize and the National Book Award.

Temple Folk

Temple Folk is a strong work of fiction that does what it sets out to do very effectively. I recommend reading up on the Nation of Islam before diving in, if you are unfamiliar.

The Spare Man

The Lone Man is a sci-fi beach read of a novel, featuring a murder mystery on an outer space cruise ship. It involved a lot of privilege (and alcohol), but I was hooked and had a fun time reading it.

Nettle & Bone

Nettle & Bone is a solid, fast, fun read — an utterly delightful snack of a fantasy novel. I highly recommend if you’re looking for something quick and entertaining!
