So, because I make spaghetti quite a bit and I don’t need muffins, I didn’t have too much inspiration on the food front. “The guy’s never helped with anything and he’s lectured me half a dozen times about being a single woman living alone, And it’s Memorial Day weekend. I like what Veek says about Andrew, the pedantic Christian annoying man: as the group sat and enjoyed the sunset on the roof. There were several mentions of beer…cheap beer…. Stopping at “a coffee shop with big windows and a faded awning….in the end, a coffee and muffin wouldn’t kill” his bank account. I plan to check out more of Clines’ work.įood mentioned included a dinner of spaghetti and sauce passed around to the group investigating. This author has a good imagination, holds the attention with an interesting story line and, as I mentioned, if you like sci fi writing this will be a good read for you.
The verbal interchanges among the characters was believable with enough friction to make for real conversations and arguments. Roger, the guy who works on movie sets was stereotypical of Californians portrayed in movies and SNL. Must be the blue hair and yeah, Leela has purple hair, I know. I couldn’t help but hearing her speaking voice (in my head) as that of Leela on Futurama. There were the stereotypes with certain characters such as the artist with the blue hair and exhibitionist behavior. You are then introduced to the other main characters and see a Scooby Doo mystery unfold as they combine forces to discover what the Kravach building is hiding. His life had been such a dull, repetitive echo of life that he’d forgotten what it was like when things were bright and interesting and new. “ It had been a long time since Nate felt excited by anything. This only makes Nate more curious – wouldn’t you feel the same way? I know I would! Oskar, the building manager, chastises and warns Nate about poking around where he shouldn’t. Then he gets the opportunity to move into the Kravach building, a low rent apartment where he discovers some anomalies and mysterious goings on. He feels like he’s plodding through life. He’s your average guy who has a crap job combined with a condescending boss who is a true creep. It has some likable characters and I enjoyed the Twilight Zone style. 14 by Peter Clines is a fun and easy read if you like science fiction.
