The recent reads of writer courtney vail. Newer posts →. October 12, 2008. Author: George D. Shuman. Publisher: Pocket Star (March 27, 2007). I also enjoyed the character details, punchy verbs and grittiness. I didn’t find anything that dragged momentum. The only aspect I didn’t like was that the two main female characters didn’t meet until near the end. I think it would have been great to see them interacting earlier somehow. Fun read for me.

The recent reads of writer courtney vail. As a preschooler, after being sent up to bed by her babysitter, Courtney and her cousin drew monsters on the bed sheets and dressed up like ghosts to spook the sitter into letting them stay up so they could see Shaun Cassidy on late night TV.

Needful Things | ~ literary commentary ~

The recent reads of writer courtney vail. November 6, 2009. Publisher: Signet Book; (April 6, 2004). This is the last Castle Rock novel. Although it’s told with an expertly breezy omniscient narrative and holds a hooky premise, this long, long book, is packed with POV characters that you barely get to know. At the three-quarter mark more of the same occurs again and again and the heinousness of the pranks and their repercussions lose their sting. He could have trimmed out some of the cross stories an...
