The Complete Farseer Trilogy ( The Farseer Trilogy, #1-3):
"Some weeks ago, my daughter, who knows I've been reading a lot of books set in Ancient Greece, suggested I might read something different for a change. This Farseer trilogy is what she proposed.
But the thing is, the trilogy turned out to have themes" Read more of this review » |

is on page 72 of 383 of Invisible Planets: 'I imagine these buildings growing as fast as cancer cells, finally settling into the form they have today. Inside the appartments, it's always dark because there's so little space between the buildings that tenants in buildings next to each other can shake hands through the windows. The alleyways are narrow like capillaries and follow no discernible pattern.'

“The great city seemed to weigh upon me, as though it were crushing me under its heap of brick and stone. Gray, drizzly skies, congested streets, the soot-belching boats and barges chugging up and down the Thames, the teeming mass of four millions hastening about the countless activities of daily life in a metropolis, things adventurous, meaningful, spiritual, quotidian, futile, criminal, meaningless and absurd. Amidst this seething stew of humanity, I painted.”

Hi Gary! I see your novel is nearly at the top of my stack. Since I usually include a pic or two in my review that captures the spirit of the novel, as a Goodreads friend I will extend the courtesy of asking if you have a favorite photo and/or work of art you would like me to include. I also include an author photo. Likewise, if you have one you would like me to include, please send it along. If so in either or both cases, perhaps the best way is to send me a personal message with a link to the pages. If you would prefer not to, that's cool, just let me know and I'll do the choosing.
Cheers,
Glenn

I've been enjoying your insightful reviews for some time now, and I certainly look forward with interest to your review of The Devil. I've completed the Inspector Lefebvre trilogy and, as I've already stated in a blog post and a self-review of the last of three novels, it's been hard saying good-bye to Achille and his world. However, I'm still writing and, as you said, that's another reason to try and stay healthy! :)
Best,
Gary
Hey Gary. Thanks for being such a good Goodreads friend! I do appreciate your stopping by to read and comment on my reviews now and then. Anyway, my local library system has your The Devil in Montmartre. It is on my tbr stack, a very, very large stack. I look forward to reading and reviewing. I'm a complete eccentric and hold to a tight monthly schedule. The Devil will be read and reviewed in the month of July. Gives me yet again another reason to maintain my good health! :)

You're welcome, Marita. Your review was especially interesting to me because my novel, "The Devil in Montmartre", is set in Paris during the 1889 Universal Exposition.
I look forward to reading more of your reviews!
Thank you, Gary! I enjoy reading your posts as well!
Hi Gary. Thanks for the friendvite.
