Olaf the Troll ,'Showtime'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Ooh, Dunk & Egg are going to Winterfell in the 4th Dunk & Egg novela.
(Darn it: it's speculation that they're going to Winterfell - because the title is "Dangerous Women" and the "Wolf Women of Winterfell" had been mentioned by GRRM at some point elsewhere.)
Interesting... because the premise is why I avoided it.
It's almost nothing like what you might expect based on the premise, I think -- mostly because the narrator is the kid.
I just read the first few pages on Amazon. She gets that kid voice really well.
I was warned off by the voice in Room.
I know people that hate room becaue of the voice ( one was a gradnmother )
Well, if you read the sample bits and can't deal with it, it's not for you, but I thought it was just lovely.
I love a child's voice that seems realistic to me, because so often they really, really aren't.
I think it was a good voice, definitely not one that irritated.
I read the book prepared to hate it and I just....didn't. It surprised me. Especially the change halfway through.
I thought the narrative voice was the best thing about the book.
As someone who didn't like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time much because of the voice, would I still like Room ? Because it sounds intriguing.
