Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel

Mr. R’s first review of the year

really liked it
This was a smooth easy to read book, and I found myself quickly coming back to it to finish. Although science fiction isn't my genre of choice, the worldbuilding was simplistic enough to digest without needing to rationalize the science of time travel. My only critique (and the reason for 4 stars, rather than 5) is that the ending comes fast. It's a decent ending, but I feel this novel could have easily been another 50-100 pages.

Blending Genre, Altering Style  by Tom Romano

Mr. R’s last review of the year

The multigenre paper is an interesting concept, and Romano gave me a few ideas to make the assignment my own, but this book could have offered more. The bulk of the book comes from its student examples, which became repetitive space fillers. Did we need that many? I would have appreciated more theory and research behind writing multigenre papers and mor ...more
