See allThis was my second time reading this book, this time, I re-read it along with a friend who gifted me this book for Christmas. It had been over a decade since I read this book the first time, and I had forgotten most of the story. This meant I fell in love with the book again, almost like it was my first time reading it. I really need to re-read it more often, as Sanderson packs a lot into this novella. There are just so many philosophical statements he drops, yet he leaves it up to the reader to come to his own conclusions on how we feel about the topics he brings up. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's an especially good entry-point book if someone just wants to sample a Sanderson book.
Mr. Bradbury had a significant impact on the world through his fiction writing and his work on films, TV, and more. I remember growing up being enthralled by his work. Specifically, Something Wicked This Way Comes and Fahrenheit 451. The latter book is especially relevant in today's social landscape.
These interviews took place from 2010 to 2012, during Bradbury's last three years of life. Bradbury shares some interesting stories and ideas through the interviews, and the book certainly made me want to learn more about his life. I hope to read one of his biographies in the future, which I know the editor of this book has written about Bradbury.
If you have never read Bradbury, don't start here, but with some of his works. If you're a fan of his, you will truly enjoy these interviews. I know I did.
Great book. I loved the stories, the art, and the subject matter. We've adopted two shelter dogs over the years, and they have each been wonderful. Forever in our hearts. A Labrador Retriever and a Great Pyrenees. This book was my first from this author. I like his art style and will now be tracking down more of his collections.
This is one of the best biographies I've read. The author, Rob Wilkins, served as Terry's assistant for over two decades. Working with Terry daily offered him incredible access, giving us readers a unique look inside Mr. Pratchett's life. I felt like I truly got to know the “real” Terry. Highly recommended for any Terry Pratchett fans.
This was a fantastic book. I loved how the book was so honest with its storytelling. Brian May honestly shared his thoughts and reflections on the chronicled events. I also loved how he highlighted and credited so many people's work in this book. Not just his fellow band members but also kinds of people from assistants to security guards to numerous tech and production people, interpreters, family members, and the list goes on and on. I've never read a biography book where the author truly credited so many others who helped with their success. Lastly, the Sterocopic images are amazing. I highly recommend this book.
