GUEST REVIEW #USofBooks The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner



For more information on the United States of Books (click here for details).

The United States of Books the State of Mississippi



Author: HC at The Irresponsible Reader

Wow, it took like 2 minutes for me to remember just how much work this guy is to read. This is not the kind of book you take to the breakroom at work for a few minutes during lunch. The Sound and the Fury, like all of Faulkner that I can remember, takes work. You have to think -- especially here in Part 1. Don't get me wrong, Part 2 is no walk in the park, but Benjy's narration is just so difficult to wade through given his cognitive ability.

Maybe I should back up a bit -- this is the story of the fall of the Compson family -- a great Southern family from Jefferson, MS, through (primarily) various stream of consciousness points of view. Part 1 is told through the point of view of Benjy. Benjy is 33 year-old developmentally disabled man, and his section is almost impossible to follow. There's no chronological sense to it, it's impossible to follow on first read as Benjy talks about a variety of events over the course of his life. Which is not to say there's not a certain poetry, a power to it. But man . . .

Part 2 is possibly more difficult to understand, honestly, despite being told from Benjy's older brother's POV. But I don't want to talk about the details -- I just hate spoilers (even if you've had around 90 years to catch up). There are other POVs (including -- thankfully, an omniscient third-person).

The plot is one thing -- the experience of reading the novel is another. You want to know the power of the English language? Read William Faulkner. I don't know what else to say. I'm not sure I'm equipped to talk about this, really -- P.I.s, wizards, werewolves, dogs? Sure. The kind of thing that wins Nobel Prizes? That's just beyond me. This is the stuff of history -- of legend, really.

There is horrible language used throughout -- the kind of thing that gets books banned from schools and classrooms, so if you're easily offended, skip this. But it's how people talked (still do), it's honest, it's brutal, it's ugly, it's human.

This is not my favorite novel by Faulkner -- nor is it something I recommend to someone who's never read the man before (maybe, As I Lay Dying?). That said, it's full of fantastic writing, insights into the human condition, strange southerners, tragedy, and complexity that I cannot describe. Faulkner, as always, stands so far above the pack that it's almost not fair to other books. Of course, 5 stars, how could it be anything else?

Blurb

Recovering from a gunshot wound that nearly killed her, Kylie is tormented by her ex-boyfriend’s final words—to have her forever, even if it means she must die. 

Desperate to regain her life, Kylie’s world is turned upside down when she discovers Alex betrayed her. The life she dreamed of now uncertain, she slips further into madness, convinced she is being stalked by John’s ghost. 

Kylie fights to regain control of her life and salvage her relationship with Alex. Fearing she will never escape her ex-boyfriend’s revenge, she devises a plan to destroy her demon—at any cost.
   

Excerpt

"Well, well, if it isn't Kylie Tate."

 My eyes pop open. Heat flushes through my body, and I'm instantly tense.

Rebekah. The woman who tried her damnedest to come between Alex and me—who nearly succeeded with her lies about a fake affair—stands in an identical robe with a glass of champagne. She slithers onto the chaise next to me.

"How's your closed head injury?" She tips back her champagne, but her gaze never leaves mine.
My pulse races. I want to smack the glass right out of her hand and choke the shit out of her.
"Getting better everyday. Thank you. How's your escort service?"

"Same rude little bitch you've always been, I see. I hear you drove your ex-boyfriend insane, and he tried to kill you."

"Yes, turns out the two of you have a great deal in common. You're both psychotic and have failed at getting rid of me." Heat surges through my body. How dare she twist John's sadistic games into witty reparte? My head is pounding. The pressure at the base of my neck is about to explode. My jaw is clenched so tight, it’s painful. I don't think I have ever wished violence on anyone—until now.

About The Author

 
Born and raised in the Rocky Mountains, Anne L. Parks has spent the last 25 years moving all over the United States. Married to the Navy - well a Commander in the Navy - Parks has lived in various locales throughout the United States. She currently resides in the Washington D.C area, and is loving every minute. When not writing, she spends her time reading, doing yoga, mountain biking, and keeping track of four kids. And drinking wine.

2013 marked her debut in publishing. Her first novel, Strangers, released on her 45th birthday. She was amazed at the number of  people who fell in love with a story about two people dealing with grief, and finding love again. Abby and Bryce were the perfect couple to introduce Parks as an up-and-coming author.

Her second novel, The Return, released in December 2013. A wonderful Christmas romance, it is the first book in the Return To Me series. Book two, Return To Newport, released April 29th, and followed the couple through the murky waters of saying good-bye to a past that refused to let go. Lauren's Return, the third book in the series, released on August 19th. This chronicles the challenges of bringing together a family amidst tragedy and death, and still holding firmly to the love they have fought so hard to keep alive. The fourth book, Returning Home, shifts the focus away from Jake and Eve, and delves into the life Eve's eldest daughter. Clarissa has a secret she has guarded for most of her life. Fearing it will be revealed, she refuses to allow love into her heart - until she meets Griff. December 2014 brought the close of this series, with the release of RSVP: A Return To Me Christmas novella. The wedding of the year is threatened by Mother Nature, forcing the couple to re-evaluate whether "happily ever after" is really attainable.

Stepping out of her comfort zone, Parks delved into the paranormal with a group of highly talented authors. The result? An unexpected fantasy of four sisters fighting to save the earth - and each other - from their deranged mother. Elementals, A Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance Anthology, released on May 15th. Summer brought more collaboration with the release of a Fourth of July themed short story, FlyBoy, that was included in the Sparks Fly boxed set.

REVIEW Waking Eden by Rhenna Morgan

Waking Eden
(Eden #2)
 by Rhenna Eden
The only hope for saving their race is to surrender their hearts. 

Find This Book At ~ Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads

Categories ~ Fantasy, Paranormal romance
Audience 18+ ~ 


With a long foretold and annoyingly vague prophecy warning of immense change for Eden, Ramsay Shantos is forced to hunt words and legends instead of rebels. For a man of action, it’s the worst kind of agony. Until he encounters a sexy librarian who bears the fated prophecy’s mark. A mark no human should possess.

Tortured by her mixed heritage, Trinity Blair has enjoyed little human touch in her life, let alone intimacy. Even the most innocent contact fills her mind with a person’s deepest, darkest secrets—except for Ramsay. Her immunity to his thoughts sparks a fragile hope that she might finally experience the passion of her Dark Spiritu brethren…unless he’s the dangerous crossroads her father predicted.

When knowledge of Eden goes viral in the human realm, Trinity is Ramsay’s only hope for quelling mass panic. Can he risk revealing the secrets of his race to the guileless ray of sunshine? Or is she the unknown source of Eden’s destruction?

Warning: Contains one playboy warrior well-equipped with wicked words, a panty-melting grin, and well-honed moves in and out of the bedroom.

The Eden series keeps getting better and better. This story is filled with lots of attitude, some very hot scenes and a few amusing situations. Waking Eden continues the story regarding the four-thousand-year-old Prophecy warning of immense change for Eden. Serena and Tyrus return in this book and they are plotting evil twists while adding lots of suspense and intrigue to an already intensely satisfying read. Other secondary characters making an appearance are Alexis (Lexi) and Eyrx, Reese and Galena, Ian, Ludan, Jagger, and Brenna who also appeared in the previous books to the Eden Series.


The author continually amazes me at how flawlessly she adds elements and details to her stories to keep the reader off balance as they progress into the story. It is quite pleasant reading a story I can't figure out.

Yes hunky Ramsay isn't a very happy man when he is forced out of his element of fighting into the role of solving the Prophecy. And it is exciting watching him work through the solving of this problem with the knowledge that Trinity might be part of the puzzle. But I sure got some good chuckles as Trinity pushes all his buttons and not always in a good way. Their instant attraction causes problems for both of them and continually made me chuckle at their verbal interactions as Trinity tries to resist and avoid him.

Trinity's life growing up was painful and the person she has become is admirable. I found her continued attempts to have a relationship with her adopted mom heart warming and painful at the same time. I am not sure if I would want her gift of touch and being able to read everyone's thoughts but her Spiritu gifts do interest me.

I am sure looking forward to Luden and Brenna's story "Eden's Deliverance" and I give Waking Eden 5 STARS for the intricacy of the story.

I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest opinion.


My Reviews of the series ~
Waking Eden (Eden #3)
Eden's Deliverance (Eden #4) Coming October, 2016


Rhenna Morgan writes for the same reason she reads—to escape reality.

A native Oklahoman with two beautiful girls and a fantastic husband, her resume reflects her passion for new experiences. Since graduating with a Bachelors in Radio, Television, and Film at Oklahoma State, she’s racked up positions ranging from on-air radio talent, skip tracer, and promotions director, to real estate agent, project manager, and business analyst.

Like most women, she’s got obligations stacked tight from dusk to dawn. That’s where the romance comes in. Reading, or writing, romance has been her happy place since she cracked the spine on her first Christine Feehan book years ago. Nothing thrills her more than the fantasy of new, exciting worlds, and strong, intuitive men who’ll fight to keep the women they want.

Whether it’s contemporary, paranormal, or fantasy you’re after, Rhenna’s stories pack romantic escape for the women who need it.
