Big fan of Nolan's film version of this story. Book is well executed, sometimes creepy. Recommended. ]]> Review7542391208 Sun, 11 May 2025 07:37:47 -0700 <![CDATA[Dave added 'The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey']]> /review/show/7542391208 The River of Doubt by Candice Millard Dave gave 5 stars to The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey (Paperback) by Candice Millard
Engaging account of Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt’s “Heart of Darkness�- esque journey into the Amazon Rain Forest for the last great adventure of his already comic book life. Having read Edmund Morris stunning TR biography trilogy, this was a wonderful coda to the truly larger than life man. Highly recommended! ]]> ReadStatus9373478986 Thu, 01 May 2025 04:44:14 -0700 <![CDATA[Dave wants to read 'The Science of Storytelling']]> /review/show/7533422381 The Science of Storytelling by Will Storr Dave wants to read The Science of Storytelling by Will Storr

Very helpful practical, resourceful guide to character based writing. Not sure I could ever be a 100% character driven writer, but you always have to cross that bridge. Recommended. ]]> Review7488116409 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 19:21:15 -0700 <![CDATA[Dave added 'Night Film']]> /review/show/7488116409 Night Film by Marisha Pessl Dave gave 4 stars to Night Film (Paperback) by Marisha Pessl
Engaging mystery within mystery (or is it?) Good NYC and upstate settings. Perhaps a bit longer than it needed to be. Recommended. ]]> ReadStatus9288973517 Wed, 09 Apr 2025 04:33:30 -0700 <![CDATA[Dave wants to read 'The Protagonist's Journey: An Introduction to Character-Driven Screenwriting and Storytelling']]> /review/show/7474877774 The Protagonist's Journey by Scott Myers Dave wants to read The Protagonist's Journey: An Introduction to Character-Driven Screenwriting and Storytelling by Scott Myers
