Lex Luthor...

[fajrdrako]

Lex Luthor is still the sexiest man on television, even if the scripts have been inconsistent and his role variable. winterlive had a great essay on the season finale "Vessel", which is being quite rightly quoted in many LJ's, and called the show: "the glorious spiralling tragedy that is Lex Luthor".

That's worth quoting and remembering. It's the interpretation of the show that resonates me - not the tragedy of Clark Kent, which is another story altogether.

OMG OMG I JUST FINISHED THE SPARROW AND OMG THAT WAS SO GOOD.

*cough* Just had to tell someone.

Oh my goodness yes, it was, wasn't it? What a book. Even just remembering it... yes.

Wrenching and wonderful.

I'd already read Children of God, so I knew what happened to Emilio in advance, but that really didn't make it any less affecting. He's such a wonderfully sympathetic, real character, and her storytelling is so effortless. I really need to own both books...

I just recently bought myself a copy of The Sparrow - I already had Children of God, though I'd originally read them in order. Love them both. I liked the structure of The Sparrow, though, the way the mystery was told and revealed in reverse order.

I also loved A Thread of Grace, possibly even more than both of the above. Have you read it yet?

Blasphemy! No, I haven't, but it's top of the library list if it's as good as the other two. (I liked the structure of The Sparrow, too, and I need to own them, if for no other reason than to force them on everyone I meet. Actually, my mother read Children of God and adored it, and has been pestering me about sharing The Sparrow in the day and a half it took for me to read it. :D )

Well, all three books are great, so I meant no offense to Emilio to say I liked A Thread of Grace as much or more than the other two. I wonder what Russell is working on now?

I hope you've passed The Sparrow on to your mother? Don't make her suffer any longer than you have to!
