Last batch of haiku for this decade. (Or did the decade begin in 2010?)
.
Moonlight Mile
enjoyable book
it’s Gone Baby Gone‘s sequel
recycled; phoned in
.
Room
quite a unique book
voice accomplishes great things
baby talk aggravates
.
The Woman Who Wouldn’t
Wilder writes with charm
don’t expect anything deep
a quick, pleasant read
.
The Weight
normally a fan
Nico found this book quite bad
Vachss forgot what works
.
Night Sweat
not by a poet
plays with theme, form, and focus
verse flirts with wisdom
.
Decision Points
colonialists?
Bush thinks himself a James Bond
bad book by bad prez
.
Winter’s Tale
urban fantasy
a classic tale for children
good for grown ups too
.
Into the Silent Land
nonfic with some flair
a neuropsych travelogue
Broks penned a Great Read
.
A Very Simple Crime
title is a lie
actually quite nuanced
a very quick read
.
Laughter in the Dark
fool falls for harlot
another great Nabokov
great plot, characters
.
