This story was different, it was told from various points of view (Gwen, Sam, Lanny, Connor and Sam Cade) and did not have the same suspense feel to it. The first book is excellent and ends in a cliff hanger, so I really wanted to find out what happened next. Killman Creek is the second book in the Stillhouse Lake series.

Nonetheless, Fuller began her strange friendship with the man she calls K, a white African and veteran of the Rhodesian war. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even when I couldn’t remember the words as an adult, I could remember the rhythm of this sentence, and could find it easily when I looked at the story again. “Still ran Dingo–Yellow-Dog Dingo–hungrier and hungrier, grinning like a horse-collar, never getting nearer, never getting farther and they came to the Wollgong River.”Īlmost like a song to me. Try this next one from “The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo”: ![]() Sentences such as this demand that a tongue speak with authority and presence. “Then Kolokolo Bird said, with a mournful cry, ‘Go to the banks of the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever-trees, and find out’.” Listen to this line from “The Elephant’s Child” as your example: those were important to me as a kid.įor me, it was all about the language.

I think my biggest complaint with the book was the (in my opinion) unconvincing portrayal of how a woman in the near future may think. ![]() His occasionally preaching tone seemed to come through much more often in this book than his others - you know what I mean, the lectures about rugged individualism and the like that he goes off on with alarming regularity. I liked this book enough, but it didn't strike me as Heinlein's best. I definitely had a different cover to my copy that you did - it was an early 80s rendition of an old man's head floating in a big ornate orange tank, very surreal. ![]() ![]() Now more than ever, we need to focus on unity and how much we all need each other,” she said. “Ever since then, I wanted to bring it to The Kate's stage and this summer gave us the perfect opportunity. “I laughed out loud at so many of the anecdotes and the style of the piece really enables the actors to connect with the audience on such a personal level - it's like a relaxing evening out with your best friends.
