For breaking down rhetorical figures, showing them in use, and highlighting how they appear and affect the reader, Elements of Eloquence is a valuable primer and reminder.
Ezra Review
The Persian kings are depicted as rescuers of the Jewish people from their Babylonian captivity, and Ezra-Nehemiah include multiple letters and other documents, supposedly based on actual writings, in which the Persian rulers support, encourage, and fund the restoration of the Jewish people and the rebuilding of the temple.
The Ode Less Travelled Review
If you do it properly, you will produce poetry from reading this book. Not good poetry, necessarily, not something you labor over for days and intend to publish to immortalize your name as the next great poet of the 21st century, but poetry nonetheless.
DragonForged Review
There is no traditional plot arc or character arc to follow. It is a kind of light fantasy interpretation and rendering of a creation story.
The Valkyrie Review
The story seems set up as a quest/mystery, but the narrative voice is more concerned with the rather forced romance between the two viewpoint characters.
Emotional Intelligence 2.0 Review
Also known as: how to shut up, fit in, and get by – using corporate doublespeak to deceive others, accomplish nothing, and never rock the boat.
Guards! Guards! Review
I really want you to think of this less as a review for a specific Pratchett novel - Guards! Guards! - and more as a reminder to come back to Discworld every now and then.
Chronicles Review
Chronicles is to Kings what The Lord of the Rings books are to the movies - different interpretations with different emphases, but ultimately telling the same story.
Aurora Review
It disappointed all my expectations in a thoroughly pessimistic reinterpretation of core science fiction genre tropes adorned by mediocre prose and little in the way of creativity.
Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice Review
It is the combination of an unsympathetic narrator, no meaningful plot progression, unremarkable rhetoric, and unserious approach which led me to abandon the text. I’m not certain why it’s received so much praise and attention, other than the controversies it stirs.
